NEON MARQUEE FILM FESTIVAL (PART 2): KILLING AMERICAN STYLE (1990)
While we await the reopening of all our favorite film houses, we’re presenting an ongoing online film festival of a genre (of sorts) of B grade Sci-Fi, Action and Martial Arts, ‘so-bad-they’re-good’ faves and some truly unintentionally funny bottom-of-the-video-store-shelf gems! All those cinematic misfires and titles that may serve as a great hangover film, movie comfort food or a perplexing head scratch as to how a film like this got made in the first place.
Our procedure will include a pre-show warm up of classic relevant trailers, clips and commercials, then a link to stream either through official channels or via YouTube (multiple options will be presented if possible).
Played in sequence, it’s just like being at the cinema!
Welcome back for tonight’s screening. Allow us to tear your ticket and show you to your seat for the second installment of the NEON MARQUEE FILM FESTIVAL with a baffling action classic (?) from the Director of the cinematic train wreck Samurai Cop…
TONIGHT’S FEATURE:
KILLING AMERICAN STYLE (1990) is the fifth feature from Director Amir Shevan, who may be the reincarnation of Ed Wood, and the man responsible for what may be the Citizen Kane of bad cinema; Samurai Cop.
Starring walking jaw line and bad cinema legend Robert Zdar, this super sized helping of macho sees the seething mass Tony Stone (Zdar) and sexual sadist John Lynch (keeping his real name for some reason) execute what may be the most clueless daylight robbery ever committed to film. After a prison break and a shoot out, our two criminal buddies, plus cohorts go on the run, commandeering a palatial residence, oddly shot on two completely different and unrelated locations taking hostages inside with tough guy hero type John Morgan stepping up to save the day.
Chock full of dialogue that assaults the ears and acting ability that should be banned in all 50 states, one is left to wonder what the legendary Jim Brown is doing in this film surrounded by pure cinematic incompetence. Rest assured dear film lovers, KILLING AMERICAN STYLE is a bad movie delight, made with such passion and sincerity that you’ll be laughing as much as you face palm.
