"I wasn't aware that Night of the Living Dead was a documentary."
Dr. Shockner
Low grade version of H.P. Lovecraft's 'Necronomicon Book of Dead'. A struggling writer suffers an heart attack while cooped away writing his masterpiece. He's helped by his secretive neighbor Dr. Shockner who practices experimental medicine. Thought cured its not long before the writer notices hes not the man he once was.

Though its pretty competent for an Albert Pyun film, its extremely boring, overly talky and severely lacking in action of any kind. It may appeal to undemanding Lovecraft fans who don't mind one of their heroes most popular stories narrated by 3rd rate actors. Personally it did absolutely nothing for me I was praying for the FADE TO BLACK.

Extremely unmemorable, I guess the exception was seeing the cringe worthy porno quality actress playing an autistic character.

Old Miss Bellows (Dorothy Dells) after kicking a shaolin in the nads


Surprisingly entertaining comic book martial arts action nonsense with the diceman Andrew Dice Clay as brain smashing night club bouncer Ed Molloy. Eddies hired protection by Samantha (Teri Hatcher) whose trying to guard her sister from a gang of shaolin's, who are hellbent on tracking down a mythical lotus flower that has the a power to change the outcome of any battle.

Unmistakably 'Brain Smasher' is a poor mans 'Big Trouble in Little China' rip off, and its director Albert Pyun is far from being in John Carpenters league. But its still enjoyable if you switch the old grey matter off.

[PRFR: Personal Reasons For Remembering]
Hatcher looked pretty hot back then, not much really stood out other than one or two of dicemans typically misogynistic comments.
