This websight called Daily Grindhouse invited me to write for them recently, and I figured why not? I like days, I like grinding, I like houses. My new not-sure-how-regular-it-will-be-yet column, which goes under the working title of VERN’S PUNCH-QUEST, will be kind of like Slasher Search except I’ll be watching obscure b-action type stuff, mostly ones from the ’80s and ’90s that nobody’s recommended to me or anything, just ones that look cool or goofy. And hopefully some of them will turn out to be good.
For the first column I chose NIGHT OF THE WARRIOR starring Lorenzo Lamas. Click on the title to read it.

This one sounds great, Vern. I also think Lamas is underrated. I recommend you try out THE RAGE next. He plays an FBI agent tracking down a cult led by crazed Vietnam vet cannibal rapist Gary Busey. You got Roy Scheider as the dickhead chief, David Carradine in one scene as a burnout in a wheelchair, a decent stab at real drama between Lamas and his new female partner, and some surprisingly extensive car chases and shootouts.
Also I would like to refer to the above paragraph, which contains the words “crazed Vietnam vet cannibal rapist Gary Busey.”
