SLEDGEHAMMER (1984) intro

[douglasmatley]

Nicolas Imaz never bothered to pay the actors in this film. I took a week off work, and lost $300. I expected the $900 I was promised and signed a contract to that effect. I was told Mr. Imaz left the country before he could pay us. Doug Matley

@douglasmatley Sounds like just another shady businessman trying to make a quick buck at the expense of others. But for what it's worth (which may not be much) I, as a fan, appreciate your involvement in a piece of genre video history. And as a killer, no less! I've read many stories about unscrupulous distributors and producers of low budget product in the '80s who took advantage of those trying to create something or just wanting to work in the business. Thanks for your comment, Doug.

Great creepy minimal synth score. These types are my favorite. Reminds me of Tim Krog's score for Boogeyman and (can't remember composer's name) Boardinghouse.

It, along with 555, Blood Cult, Boarding House, etc., is one of the more infamous SOV horror films; highly sought after. The credits at the end are even more absurdly tongue-in-cheek-- Editing by Ralph Cutter, Lighting by Mike Watt, and other technical support from Jack Meough, I.P. Phrielee, and Mike Hunt. --haha

I'm a huge fan of Ted and David Prior, so this has always been a must-have for me.

Very strange intro to a movie. Looks quite Z grade.

Special effects by "Blood & Guts" ??? Sounds like a double entendre. Like the special effects people lost their blood and guts in the process.
