Extreme Justice (1993): The Violent Kind Matty profiles Mark L. Lester’s gritty thriller and its complicated journey to screen.

New Schlock Pit post! 🚨

And it’s me banging my Mark L. Lester drum again, all about his 1993 flick EXTREME JUSTICE (aka ‘S.I.S.: Extreme Justice’).

Re-Animator baddie David Gale giving another ace villain performance in sci-fi horror flick SYNGENOR (1990).

That glowing green liquid sure looks familiar…

Both of the new Social Distortion songs sound like Definitely Maybe era Oasis and I don’t know whether I’m big into it, bemused or aghast.

Thief of Hearts: The Stickup (2002) Rowdy Herrington’s sturdy crime caper both stands and delivers, says Matty.

New Schlock Pit review! 🚨

And today it’s about three things I’m very passionate about: Rowdy Herrington movies, James Spader, and Rowdy Herrington movies starring James Spader.

My notes on THE STICKUP (2002):

Cop That: I Love a Man in Uniform (1993) Dave spotlights director David Wellington’s ace psychodrama and bemoans its present-day obscurity.

New Schlock Pit review! 🚨

@snipsmovies.bsky.social’s notes on I LOVE A MAN IN UNIFORM (1993). A great little thriller and — more importantly — a sentence he screams with frightening regularity.

Class of 1999 II: The Substitute (1994) – Hot For Teacher Matty hits the books with stunt wiz Spiro Razatos’ cheap but charismatic sequel.

Aaahh!!! MANSQUITO (2005)! 😱

I found a couple of free video rental vouchers for you. They might be expired — but it’s worth a punt, surely? I mean, if you don’t ask, you don’t get!

🤷‍♂️

Preach it, brother. You’d drive yourself batty trying to correct everything. My outlook is based on Jim Wynorski’s response whenever he’s asked what his favourite movie of his own is:

Your best piece of work is always the next one. Keep moving.

TL;DR - Here's a slightly tweaked version of my 2023 piece on Fred Olen Ray's erotic thrillers INNER SANCTUM, MIND TWISTER, POSSESSED BY THE NIGHT and INNER SANCTUM II.

Featuring the same ol' interview with Ray himself but now with extra trivia!

So whenever a new titbit presents itself - a correction, a clarification, an additional morsel etc - I feel it's our duty to report it.

Having said that, documenting B-movies and DTV fare isn't an exact science. Though Dave and I pride ourselves on our journalistic skills, the 'disposable' nature of the films we write about often means information has been lost to time - and it's usually things like release dates.

Shop talk: As far as 'the craft' goes, I'm not a tinkerer. Once a piece of writing is done and published, it's out there for better or worse. Re-editing and retrofitting is dangerous and a fool's errand.

Some notes on CAUGHT UP (1998): one of ‘90s B-cinema’s most endearing — yet maddeningly forgotten — Tarantino take-offs.

“Essentially a gory fish out of water comedy… [sports] a pulpy, comic book sheen indicative of its humorous tone and director John McNaughton’s desire to make it a homage to the science fiction B-movies of the ‘50s.”
