Did you know that Richard Harrison has four arms? And can barely contain a giggle while blazing away with his collection of amaze-a-tron hand-cannons? The designer of this bad box art did... For this entry it has to be the awful colours that do it for me, the odd technicolour (or should that be 'Eastmancolor') title text and that hideous pastel blue background.
The main central artwork is of course batshit insane, with the usual level of explosions, chicks in danger, guns blasting away and modern cityscapes that festoon any tacky old action flick.. It's not telling me much from the box art about the film, so let's see what IMDB has to say..
IMDB Synopsis: Enjoying a picnic Sarah Collins and her boyfriend are surprised by a gang of juvenile hunters. They rape her and kill him. She escapes and runs to her parents'house but is then shot in front of her father Mark, a wealthy Vietnam Vet. The boys finally wound him seriously and leave. A few months later, being healthy again, Mark manages to find the murderers and kills each of them. He also keeps on walking the streets at night, looking for criminals in action to execute until his wife Yvette convinces him to stop. However, he did not knew that he has been observed by the henchmen of Bill, an enigmatic businessman desiring to crush the local drug syndicate. He orders to kidnap Yvette and forces Mark to continue his work.
Ah - a Death Wish type vigilante clone.. kinda figures from the artwork I guess... what the hell are 'juvenile hunters' though?.. Also, unusual to see a 'wealthy Vietnam vet'.. they're usually punch drunk pyschos in this kind of flick, but I suppose being wealthy will allow him to gather his no-doubt super cool arsenal of weapons with which he takes out the criminals..
Ha! Check out the goofy gun in that trailer, and did you know if you shoot people they spark like faulty electrical goods? Now you know... Seen the movie? Know something about it? Drop a comment below.

Entry No# 06 Savage Island
No we're talking! When I was a young fresh faced lad scanning the racks of my local video rental place this is exactly the kind of cover that would have enticed me in..
Composition wise this is firmly an 80's cover - the cross-hatch background with the vague neon glow of the off-centre main picture all scream 80's. Plus of course the blonde beach babe for some reason bursting out of the main image, which doesn't make much sense, but what the hell. Exotic locales, exotic women, 'Savage' in the title and a babe coming at me with an Uzi! And Linda Blair is in it!
This has to be quality, right?
IMDB Synopsis: Women who have been captured and sold as slave labor to a South American emerald mine hatch a plan for revolution and revenge.
Oh right, so this is like one of those prison movies, but set in some generic South American jungle.. didn't Linda Blair make a prison movie or two? Caged Heat or something.. Caged Fury.. Caged Muff Diving?..something like that. Anyway, with Linda Blair in it it's got to be good, right?
Oh.
