its funny cuz I remember in like 1997.. I told my wife at the time to stop by the video store and rent a comedy and a scary movie for us to watch..and she rented this film..as we started watching we noticed it was done in Dayton ( our hometown) and at the end here when Goose walks out of the alley in the background you see two people sitting at the bus stop..they stand as Goose falls to the ground... Thats My ex- wife today when she was 17..what the chances of renting a movie and be in it??
I hope so i bought it from a company called Exploited ive done a search and carnt find them?. I also have Roadkill: The Last Days of John Martin (1994) and My Sweet Satan (1994) ..
its been released a few times on VHS in different places. Exploited did indeed have a release date set. this release though, was cut by the BBFC (uk censors) however. Despite this, the BBFC STILL insisted on taking back its decision, and the tape was banned. Cut or not cut, that considered i'm sure your tape is worth a bit. it is rare, but pops up now and again on ebay. incidently, how f**king cool is jim van bebber in this??
oh shit i though this was a very rare film. I bought this on vhs years ago still in attic. i was hopeing he became big in films so my tape would of been worth something because it was signed by jim van bebber.
it reminds me of those snowman movies i made without a budget or good actors(my bros cHums were the cast) and even some of the stunt mopves are similar(but this one is cooler and edgyer) 5/5 for a grand time
Unfortunately I've seen hardly any of Jim Van Bebber's work; when I was going through my "everything that was horror or cult" phase of moviegoing, hardly anything of his was even remotely seeable. This is one excellent fight scene, however, especially taking into account that this is one of those indie films where the director had to do everything himself. Betcha Orson Welles never did any of *his* own martial-arts sequences. :-)
I love this movie, even though I own the Synapse Version that Van Bebber spit the dummy over. Guy is the Peckinpah of his generation. Completely insane genius.
I met Jim Vanbebber at a horror convention in the early 90s, really nice guy, powerhouse of a movie maker - pretty much did everything himself on this first full length feature..one of my fave low budget actioners
uhhhhhhhhhh I kinda dont even wanna watch this because Ive only witnessed one amazing scene, I have a feeling as a badass film enthusiast I need to own this. Think ill watch anyways
I rented this movie a couple times years ago and loved it.Found out today through Fangoria's site that an entire collection of Jim Van Bebber's films will be coming out as a set through Dark Sky films including this one.
I ordered this movie last night! So excited to watch!

I really want to buy this movie but I don't know where to find it.
My dad was in it, no lie. He didn't have like a big part or anything he was just friends with Jim at the time and got to have a small part in this.
