Viewing Notes

The biggest crime in Yossi Wein’s Never Say Die (1994) is that they couldn’t afford the rights to get Black Sabbath’s song of the same name. That would’ve really amped up the action scenes. But not by much as this is definitely a “bad film” but watching Billy Drago do his best Jim Jones is pretty damn awesome. Plot: unlikely ex-commando & FBI agent join forces to stop killer cult leader and save a General’s daughter.
