Viewing Notes
Since it was featured on TCM Underground again I figured I’d watch it since it’s been a while. The audio wasn’t sync’d so it was a little annoying (on both SD and HD versions). But still doesn’t diminish any of the totally absurd sequences that occur… I still cannot believe they placed a pommel horse in the middle of that old town just so Kurt Thomas could display his finesse in using it to fight bad guys.
I don’t know why B-Fest hasn’t programmed this movie. It is the ideal movie for that festival. Instead they have films like Tremors this year. WTF

Yep! An oldie and still a good one. As I was watching it I kept thinking it was gonna get scheduled for B-Fest, bc it really is the *perfect* B-Fest movie. Alas it did not.
