You Can't Go Home Again Movie Night

For some reason there's a least two movies about Hasselhoffy guys (and in one case Hasselhoff) returning to his hometown only to be terrorized by jerks. I thought the theme was a stretch at first but maybe these movies are analogies for going home for the holidays.

But there's a secret theme that's more apt for Thanksgiving time. Blastfighter is about a guy (Michael Sopkiw!)



who's given up guns. It leads to a pretty obvious anti-hunting sentiment. I mean, the bad guys love hunting but Sopkiw has a pet deer. Yikes, that can't end well. This should all prove to be controversial with it being the middle of Wisconsin's deer hunting season. A lively discussion is sure to follow.

This will be our second Lamberto Bava movie after Demons. We're sure to see Demons 2 in the future and if we want to finish the Sopkiw Tetralogy we should watch Bava's Devil Fish for the bonus third movie.

Two things to look/hear out for in Blastfighter. It uses the same music as in Massacre in Dinosaur Valley and there's a cameo from the banjo player in Deliverance.

Oops, I spent the whole time talking about Blastfighter. All I can say about The Final Alliance is since Hasselhoff has a pet puma in it maybe I should have made this Guys Returning to Their Hometown With An Inappropriate Pet Who Then Run Into Trouble By Locals. This sheds a whole new light on both movies. Those locals are just sticklers about Animal Zoning Regulations.

Here's what happened last week:
