Here in the UK, we’re known for 3 things – bad teeth, crappy weather, and Hugh Grant*. What really bothers me out of that list is the crappy weather.

Baker) Los Angeles dojo. One night after a training session, the dojo is visited by members of an organized crime syndicate. After refusing to join the organization, Jason's father has his leg broken by a Russian martial artist named Ivan Kraschinsky (Jean-Claude Van Damme), the hired thug of the boss. The Stillwell family relocates to Seattle, where Jason meets R.J. Madison (J.W. Fails) and they become good friends. Jason's girlfriend, Kelly, also comes to visit him. Despite this, Jason has a hard time adjusting and is constantly harassed by the local bullies. Fed up with the beatings, Jason visits the grave of Bruce Lee and beseeches him for aid.

This week, ladies and gentlemen, I’ve found an obscure little sci-fi thriller for you. I’ll bet most of you haven’t even heard of it, much less actually seen it. It’s an extremely low-budget movie, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be a bad one, right? In this case, however… . . . → Read More: Peter’s Retro Movie Reviews: The Killings At Outpost Zeta (1980)]]> http://forgottenflix.com/peters-retro-movie-reviews-the-killings-at-outpost-zeta-1980/feed 0 066.5 – TFFP: PariahCon 2012 Panel – Battle of FX: Practical Vs.

In April of 2012, Jason and Joel were invited to present a panel at PariahCon, a convention held in central Florida. Jason had the idea to present a panel on practical vs. CGI FX, whereas Joel thought a panel on the fine art of being a "Best Boy" (look it up) would draw in the crowds. Needless to say, Jason (thankfully) won out. (All the movie links below are Amazon Affiliate links. So, if you decide to buy a copy of one of these movies, please use these links.
