The consumption... how bad this is! The story is really not about anything and then the actors!! One is even worse than the other and they really come out of nowhere. I don't know if it was seriously intended, but over-acting seems to be the norm in this movie. The highlight for me was the girl's erect nipples at the birthday party. For the rest this movie is just to cry, so bad

Wonderful 80's film starring the charismatic McKinney and Van Damme who is completely absorbed in his role as villain.

It's an entertaining movie.
Too bad you only come across van Damme in the beginning and the end.
Story is bad and not right and the acting is also disappointing but that is not bad for such an old film.
