REVIEWED
"I don't just blow shit up, I create new space"
Explosives Dealer Big Frank (Andre Rosey Brown)
You know the worlds gone to shit when your cities mayor is played by Susan Tyrrell. Robert Kurtzman's The Demolitionist' is a hugely entertaining B-grade action romp, that plagiarises 'Robocop' for all its 1k dollars worth. A futureshock city is torn apart by a criminal gang headed by Maddog (Richard Grieco). When officer Alyssa Lloyd (Nicole Eggert) gets violently slain on duty. The mayor enlists a scientist to bring her back from dead to put an end to the gangs reign.

Its tacky as shit, but such a rewarding and amusing viewing experience. What budget it got is thrown away on ever more massive explosions and guns that fire 10k bullets a pop. The casts a cult movie fans wet dream, its chocked with the likes of Bruce Abbott, Bruce Campbell and Tom Savini, I love Susan Tyrrell she never fails to impress.

[PRFR]
Explosions, boobs, the 3rd rate Snake Plisken, shoot offs, bikes, Grieco body melting and even more explosions. In other words, everything that makes for a rewarding no brainer.
