This week in my Daily Grindhouse column I check out STRANGLEHOLD, another Cirio H. Santiago picture. This one is from 1994 and stars Jerry Trimble, who you may know as the guy who fights Dolph in front of the welders in THE PACKAGE. It’s an UNDER SIEGE type scenario where delighted-with-himself terrorist Vernon Wells has taken over a chemical plant while Trimble was doing security for a visiting congresswoman.

Whenever I read “Stranglehold,” I always think of the Paul McCartney song.

Otherwise, I got nothing on this movie. Never heard of it, and I must say I can understand now after reading your review why.
Have you reviewed PROJECT SHADOWCHASER yet? Foywonder reviewed it years ago and sounded like a decent hoot: DIE HARD rip-off where the villain is a cyborg and the hero was formerly a New Orleans Saints Super Bowl-winning champion player. (Which doesn’t sound that interesting except this was produced back in 1992, back when the Saints lived in the NFL’s asshole. They always stink, well back then at least.)
Speaking of football players-action hero characters, when are you gonna review THE TAKING OF BEVERLY HILLS? Saw that on YouTube years back, surprisingly entertaining.
