BLASTFIGHTER - Uncut!

Under discussion:

Blastfighter  (1985)

Michael Sopkiw is “Tiger” Sharp, an ex-cop fresh off the block after serving eight years for blowing the brains out of the smirking psychopath that murdered his wife. Now he just wants to retreat to his cabin in the woods and relax. Not going to happen. He starts by adopting a baby deer he finds alone in the woods, but the local yokels decapitate the animal in his car while he is buying it some milk and a baby bottle. Conflicts between Sharp and these overly-aggressive poachers escalate steadily and quickly but it really hits the fan after his best friend is killed, his daughter’s boyfriend is killed, and his daughter, whom he is seeing for the first time in years, barely escapes being gang-violated and killed. Now we have action, lots of it, practically non-stop! And oh crap is it violent! Redneck dip-shits are strangled, set on fire, blown to pieces limb by limb, and with increasing frequency as the movie rolls on! Sopkiw really stands out, as usual, as the stone-faced protagonist and Eastman is fun to watch as king-hillbilly-bad-guy. Honestly, everybody does fine with what they are given but nobody was reaching for tremendous emotional depth here! Just kick back, relax, and enjoy the carnage! The soundtrack by the De Angelis brothers is as cool here as it would be in 85’s Massacre In Dinosaur Valley. There’s lots of talent on both sides of the camera and though it all might seem rather brain-dead, it’s certainly never boring. Besides that, this is another great title to play ‘catch the cameo’ with! Somewhere between Southern Comfort and Hunter’s Blood… Blastfighter finds a home. Many versions are cut to 87 minute; make sure and check out Blastfighter uncut at nearly 92 minutes!!!
