“Oh Yeah, What do you do, pray to Black & Decker” I only wished I'd read the warning at the beginning of this movie about operating a chainsaw naked ... oh well too late now! Jack Chandler (Jay Richardon) is a Private Detective searching for a young runaway named…

Linnea Quigley wearing nothing but body paint and dancing with multiple chainsaws in hand is reason enough to give this four stars! You'd think with a title like this and awesome poster it would be next to impossible to live up to. You would be wrong. With the promise…

When will people realize you can make over-the-top, aggressively ridiculous, badly written movies without being sexist, racist, homophobic, etc.? I am not saying you need to be wholesome. I am not saying you need to even be progressive. I am just saying don't put your…
