Steven Kostanski crafts a love letter to 80s and 90s filmmaking and the fun of Deathstalker 2! Bernhardt is fantastic but the true star are the practical in camera effects. So many wonderful creatures, make up, gore and violence effects. An absolute blast from start to finish!

If for nothing else than the amazing character designs, go grab AnimEigo's superb SASUKE: The Complete Television Series blu set. Shirato Sanpei's kiddie take on Sarutobi turns into a surreal ninja bloodbath! w/ sub'd Japanese AND English dub. Highly recommended!

Recalling these Yugoslavian ninja comics from the 1980s I featured on VN a while ago. The 80s boom was robust there, I have plenty of Yugo-market lobby cards from Kosugi movies, and there were homegrown comic series that looked great.

Parade float better than most movie monster effects, certainly any of the killer bunny attempts (looking straight at you Night of the Lepus)
Last night I went to the Puca Festival in Trim, Ireland.
It's all fun and games until someone unleashes a giant demonic hare.
