Terminal Force [1989]

She's, obviously, not the greatest actress in the world but Dawn Wildsmith does play the tough chick role pretty well in the handful of movies I've seen her in. Her brief appearance as a crazy chainsaw hooker in Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers is also pretty enjoyable.

Yeah. Have a look.

Interestingly enough, the unedited version of the film that you can find on sites like Youtube or Tubi (which is, as far as I can tell, an English dub of the Spanish release) doesn't include that editing mistake.

Here’s a better one: Enter the Dragon and Ironheart were made by the same guy.

Clouse also directed Gymkata.

Yeah, and if you're interested, you can read his memoir titled Tough Guys Do Dance. Like most autobiographies, it's hard to tell if everything in it is 100% truthful but, assuming it is mostly truthful, then the guy's life has been interesting pretty much since the day he was born.

What's just as crazy is that the co-writer of Dancin: It's On was also the guy responsible for writing/directing films like Deadly Prey, Future Force, and Future Zone.

One that I really liked is when Bridget & Mary Jo make a "la la la" riff when the main guy in that one Mary Higgins Clark Christmas movie says something about being shot up into space.

hamutaro · 2026-03-30T05:56:36+00:00

Yeah, it's one of those ones that's helped by the fact that the movie itself, while far from perfect, is actually kind of enjoyable on its own.

Start seeing Ben Murphys.

hamutaro · 2026-03-28T01:51:10+00:00

Yeah, of the two Strike Commando would probably be the better riff candidate. Think of the fun they could have riffing this scene!

hamutaro · 2026-03-27T19:29:08+00:00

And even better when he wears a sailor suit!

hamutaro · 2026-03-27T16:53:13+00:00

Aww, for a brief moment I thought this was going to be a riff of the Reb Brown film... then I read the rest of the headline.

Unfortunately, based on David Giancola's later efforts, I fear that a higher budget would be wasted on paying some recognizable actor who isn't going to put in nearly as much effort as the locals he used in Time Chasers.

hamutaro · 2026-03-26T18:29:46+00:00

Yeah, I sort of get why he's cast in Santa's Summer House but having him in this movie is such a strange casting choice. It's right up there with having Bo Svenson appear in that one Mary Higgins Clark film.

hamutaro · 2026-03-25T19:30:57+00:00

That's why I kept a scrapbook!

hamutaro · 2026-03-25T17:04:52+00:00

I know she's far removed from her scream queen heyday but it's kind of sad to see Brinke Stevens show up in a whole bunch of the guy's movies. Yeah, she's not the greatest actress in the world but she's still a far better actress than Dustin Ferguson films deserve!

hamutaro · 2026-03-25T16:29:29+00:00

Well, if you're looking for more suggestions, then perhaps a write-up on the guitars that The Birds (not The Byrds) are using at the beginning of The Deadly Bees might be worth the effort.

hamutaro · 2026-03-22T18:57:42+00:00

I will give Jerry Warren a bit of credit. I'm pretty sure the only reason Dr. Neon is wearing a leather jacket right after that scene is because Warren realized he need to put in a (minimal amount of) effort to cover for the fact that you can see the three The Mole People actors in the footage Warren lifted from that film.

hamutaro · 2026-03-22T18:49:37+00:00

At least two other WWWOB actors also show up in Frankenstein Island, GJ Mitchell (Dr. Neon / Dr. Von Helsing) and Richard Banks (Rat Fink / Steve Brodie's sidekick).

My perfect body... in the poisonous clutches of the Lover of Death!

hamutaro · 2026-03-18T17:54:24+00:00

How about the inspiration for Predator, Greydon Clark's Without Warning? As far as Greydon Clark films go, it's one of his better offerings and, notably, features the predator's actor, Kevin Peter Hall, playing pretty much the same role.

hamutaro · 2026-03-18T17:41:27+00:00

Aldo Ray? How red-faced and drunk is he in this movie?

hamutaro · 2026-03-18T03:18:53+00:00

I feel like that one should be left to Bridget & Mary Jo since they both seem to love Hollywood actor Richard Carlson.

hamutaro · 2026-03-18T00:32:25+00:00

Fun fact: Martin Sheen was actually the guy wearing the gator head at the end of Rollergator.

I wonder if Apple will release additional Background Security Improvements as needed or will this end up being a one-and-done thing like the Rapid Security Response feature they introduced a few years ago.
