 We
kick off
our all
SUNDAY "Fightin

feature
with Robert
Forster
(ALLIGATOR)
delivering
yet another
genuinely
incredible
performance
as a troubled
blue-collar
schmo pushed
to the
brink of
human endurance.
When he
finally
lashes
out, no
lowlife
is spared
from his
four-wheeled,
double-barreled,
white-knuckled
wrath.
WARNING:
Don’t
come cryin’ to
me after
you've
been traumatized
by this
little "roughie".
If you
can’t
enjoy watching
a 4-year-old
kid take
a point
blank shotgun
blast,
that’s
your problem.

, that
you'll
have to
blink every
3 seconds
just to
keep your
eyes from
catching
on fire!
The infamous
Cameron
Mitchell
semi-stars
in this
Filipino & American
co-production
that would
have brought

knees if...
anyone
had ever
seen it.

- LADY
TERMINATOR (1988) - Directed
by Jalil
Jackson
 This
late-80s
Filipino/Indonesian
TERMINATOR
knock-off
has the
magical
ability
to forego
all logic
in it's
relentless
drive for
maximum
entertainment.
Starting
with a
man stealing
a snake
from a
sex-witch’s
vagina,
the she-devil
threatens
to exact
revenge
on his
great-great
granddaughter.
Cut-to
100 years
later,
a female
scuba-diving
anthropologist
is violated
by the
same naughty
snake,
causing
her to
go on a
kill-crazy
rampage
culminating
in her
favorite
non-firearm
method
of execution...
a hearty
chomp from
her carnivorous
vagina!
Be ready
for the
walls of
the Castro
Theatre
to fall
during
this utterly
unknown
spectacle.
Preceded
by more
robust
robot trailers
including
ROBOTRIX,
I COME
IN PEACE,
CYBORG
and EVE
OF DESTRUCTION.
35mm print.
82min.
You will
never forget
this day.
I promise!
