Quality Entertainment

So I had originally set out to make this blog a launch pad for a podcast about movies. Not horror movies, but movies in general. However I tend to watch a fair amount of horror. Recently though I had a guys night with a buddy. We drank Jager, lots of beer and watched a few movies.


INSTANT JUSTICE

     One great thing about Netflix Instant as of late is that they have been releasing out of print and hard to find movies from the 70's and 80's. One of these title is Instant Justice aka Marine Issue.


What can I say about this movie? Plenty. It's like watching an extended A-Team episode. Michael Pare, who is not known for his acting skills takes point as U.S. Marine Sergeant Scott Youngblood who has arrived in Spain looking for his little sister. After finding out she has been murdered and was involved in a prostitution ring and aided by a limping photographer with ties to the king pimp and a prostitute played by Tawny Kitaen (and her hair) Scott exacts revenge on those responsible.

This film is pure cheese. Pare mumbles his way through the lead delivering lines like a punch drunk Rocky Balboa with Downs Syndrome. The action sequences are so poorly choreographed is make Mexican Wrestling look like a ballet. I've seen better gun play between 6 year olds.

See what I mean about the hair?

The acting is horrible. Tawny Kitaen is actually the best thing about this movie and SPOILER (not like anyone cares) after a car chase and the pimps vehicle being flipped by a plane and leaking gasoline Tanwy Kitaen arrives with Maj. Davis (Charles Napier). They congratulate Scott for defeating the bad guys and give Scott back his Desert Eagle that Maj. Davis confiscated earlier in the film. Scott hands it off to Kitaen who "accidently" fires the gun into the flipped over vehicle and BOOM! the car explodes killing the pimp. After a "oops, my bad" moment everyone is all smiles and chuckles and the film ends.

Would I watch this again. HELL YES!! It's pure 80's action cheese and bad fashion.
