 Worst Cover Copy |
|
Cheesy Cover, Part XVII The cover is poorly-drawn, and shows no sign of advanced artistic techniques, like proportion. Although the movie does feature Falcon Crest's Daniel Greene, and (representative of the post-apocalyptic future world of 1997) a calculator-watch.

Sorry, this cover has not yet been made available!

| "Whoops!" |
|
Vanishing Filth Is his face dirty, or is not? The director couldn't decide, since it changes shot by shot.

 Daniel Greene |
Paco Queruak |
Plays in comedies and sci-fi/action flicks
sometimes. Hammer in Hammerhead.
Was Dwayne Cooley on "Falcon Crest." |
 Janet Agren |
Linda |
Beautiful Swede that could've been a
star, but got relegated to sleazy B-
minus flicks like this one. Was Varna
in Red Sonja and Sheila in
Eaten Alive!. |
 Claudio Cassinelli |
Peter Howell |
Zeus in Hercules (the Lou
Ferrigno film, not the TV show) and Jesus
in The Good Thief. |
 George Eastman |
Raul Morales |
Tough guy or monster in many a
spaghetti Western or Post-Apocalypse film
(like Bastard, Go and Kill,
Warriors of the Wasteland, and
Porno Holocaust). But he really
wanted to direct -- and only got
to do it three times. |
 John Saxon |
Francis Turner |
Easily mistaken for Michael Ironside,
Saxon has been
in nearly 200 roles. From Lt. Thompson
in the
A Nightmare on Elm Street
franchise to
Roper in Enter the Dragon
to Agent Chase
in From Dusk Til Dawn.
You've seen him. |
 Andrea Coppola |
Eddie |
One of his more recent films role was
in, of all things, The Passion of
the Christ. Of course, that's
somewhat diluted by his roles in
White Slave and The
Erotic Dreams of Cleopatra. |
 Donald O'Brien |
Prof. Olster |
Born Donal O'Brien, he was Pietro
d'Assisi in In the Name of the
Rose. Other than that, lots of
bit parts in Z-Movies, like Dr.
Butcher, M.D., 2020: Texas Gladiators, and
Quest
for the Mighty Sword. |
