I remember this movie now

Confident that nobody will ever read this and care and emboldened by the single non-user review link not working I offer a too long description of how this review comes to be.

I'm pretty sure I was sent this movie by Joe Bob Briggs to review for the Joe Bob Report. It doesn't really matter, I just started to recognize I had seen it before and like a bad memory of past trauma it came back to me.

The basics are, it is a relatively forgettable film. There's lots of waiting for something really interesting to happen that never materializes. Even the hot chick from Waxwork is not enough to get motivated for spending too much money for it.

This is currently showing on Impact cable TV, so since I had to concentrate on it for my Joe Bob review I will spoil the one good scene. Just in case I'm wrong and somebody does stumble on this review.

So these two psychos have a bit of a disagreement near the end. Psycho#1 driving the farm equipment gets fed up with psycho#2 whining and pulls out his gun, shooting off #2's finger. Angered, but not disabled by shock or blood loss, #2 pulls out a switchblade and throws it into the forehead of #1. Angered, but not killed by taking a knife in the brain....

And that's enough. Just in case you like to suspend belief in the laws of physics and want to see how it plays out. That says a lot about what you're getting yourself into. A switchblade is not balanced for throwing, the loss of kinetic energy would not let it penetrate the skull-maybe you can stab someone directly through the skull, but not a thrown knife. And then even as dumb as psycho#1 is portrayed to pull it out. "Nyah! Nyah! You missed all my vital spots!"

For the record I enjoyed this a lot more the first time, but that was nearly thirty years ago and there was alcohol involved.
