Viewing Notes
Film 5 of BTSNAT was a pick from Jay (@sleestakk) who came down again from Chicago for the festivities. This time he brought a VHS of the David A. Prior flick, The Final Sanction, which stars his brother Ted Prior and Robert Z’Dar (Maniac Cop). I’ve watched several Prior flicks lately and everytime I do I’m shocked I’ve not seen more of them. They’ve flown under the radar for far too long, making highly entertaining low-budget horror and action films.
This movie, while lacking in a cohesive plot, basically ends up pitting Ted Prior and Z’Dar on the battlefield to end a nuclear war between Russia and the US. Prior talks to his handler via his head, which kind of evoked Source Code to me. Wonder if it somehow influenced them? Doubt it.
Anyways, this is a blast of a movie. Lots of action, Z’Dar throws trench shovels as weapons and Prior is his usual charming, crazy self.
I was a big fan of this pick and since it was getting later in the night it was a perfect choice to have a big action flick to wake people up.
