We missed last week because Marissa was in the hospital for... I want to say perjury? I didn't get the whole story. But for your information (or as the kids shorten it, 4 ur info) Tommy Lee Jones was going to be in the other "Oscar nominee's previous movie/Blaxploitation" movie night. I was leaning towards Jackson County Jail.
Which would have been paired with Jamaa Fanaka's Penitentiary II. That will have to wait for some other BMN. It's a rare prison theme that doesn't feature excessive female nudity or a lecherous lesbian prison warden. It'll still be good though.
The director of The Return of Captain Invincible, Philippe Mora, is no stranger to BMN. He made both Howling II: ... Your Sister Is a Werewolf and Howling III: The Marsupials. He made a movie I watched yesterday by chance, The Beast Within, the year before Captain Invincible. Not of interest to you but you like Modern Family so you're no great measure.
The bad guy in Captain Invincible is Christopher Lee. We last saw him a month ago and he's finally made it into the five timers club:
The Wicker Man
Starship Invasions
Captain America II: Death Too Soon
Howling II: ... Your Sister Is a Werewolf
The Return of Captain Invincible
Which is like someone going a long time without recognition that you'd expect to get recognition much earlier. I'm not good with similes.
The Human Tornado is from the director of Petey Wheatstraw, the producer of Disco Godfather and the production Manager of Penitentiary II. All the same person, Cliff Roquemore. It's the only other 70s Dolemite movie and it features Penitentiary II's Ernie Hudson. That's right, we almost had back-to-back Ernie Hudson movies. Maybe next week we can watch him as prison warden Leo Glynn on Oz.
Here's what happened two weeks ago:
