Rat Movies Night
Willard and Ben get all the glory but a decade later there was a rat movie resurgence. Michael Jackson doesn't sing on the either soundtrack
but Deadly Eyes has two songs by The Chuck McDermott Band.
I don't know who that is either but it looks like they're still around.
Another rat movie that almost made the cut is Of Unknown Origin from 1983. Maybe it could be a bonus third movie. The more bonus movies we watch, the sooner we see Birdemic.
A lot of post-apocalyptic movies have rats in them but Rats - Night of Terror makes them the star. This from the team that made Strike Commando. Incidentally, I have Strike Commmando 2 in my possession right now. I'm going to watch it tomorrow. I won't be taking phone calls.
Deadly Eyes has a good team behind it too. Robert Clouse, born in Wisconsin, directed Bruce Lee's mega-hit Enter the Dragon before peaking with the gymnastics/karate masterpiece Gymkata.
Deadly Eyes is adapted, from this book,:
by Charles H. Eglee, who went on to write episodes of St. Elsewhere, Moonlighting, L.A. Law, NYPD Blue, The Shield, Dexter and The Walking Dead.
It's never been released on DVD!
Here's what happened last week (a little NSFW due to disembodied breasts):
