no prob......Robert Shaw and Bruce Dern are both solid in this.

Exterminator 2 (1984)



Weak but still enjoyable, sequel to the 1980 classic. Its great to see Ginty fall in love only to have his dancer girl beaten to a pulp and left in a wheel chair. More comic book and less gritty than the original. Also worth checking out if you are a break dancer or work in sanitation (or even just to see bad guy Mario Van Peebles dressed like a member of Cameo).
Makes me wanna see the original again.

yeah I always thought that was awesome. Been awhile since I've seen the original. I really should pick up that Blu-ray from Arrow Video. Only £7.99 on their site at the moment.

I don't recall him being in that but it's been awhile since I've seen it.

I was suprised at how much TV he directed. l've always liked Warrior of the Lost World too... total trashfest but it's great.
