My friends, I present for your diversion, some high cheese of the genre. Brought to mind today by attending the wake of my late buddy, B-Bob, who plays the villain. If you aren't high, I would suggest it.
true... but these are a special level of bad. like, there're production people from "The Trouble With Tracy" involved.
The only saving grace for this one is that my teacher played the bad guy's henchman who kills Joseph Campanella. It was filmed in Tampa. True story, they were filming at Tampa International parking garage when President GHW Bush flew in on the shiny new 747 Air Force One, so they turned the camera around and got a shot of him walking down the presidential stairs. They cut in a shot of the would-be assassin taking aim at him with a long range weapon and superimposed the target reticle over Bush. For some reason that shot did NOT make it into the cut that was released in the states... Anyway here is "No Retreat, No Surrender, Part 3 Blood Brothers"
I watched The Kentucky Fried Movie last night--wanted a chuckle that I didn't have to think too much about--and the main part of it is a really good bad martial arts film, A Fistful of Yen. Here's the first part. (2:09 always makes me laugh out loud.)
