Monster of the Day #3480

The cover artist does not know a basic fact about dice. He needs to bone up.

Tonight's blue-ray feature was "Twister's Revenge," the final feature on the Arrow Bill Rebane box. (There is still another disk, but it seems to be a bio, "Who is Bill Rebane?". I can answer that question. And I doubt "The Giant Spider Invasion" is an extra.)

Like the other films post "Monster a Go Go" it's competent. It actually has a story that goes from a beginning to an end, so that's points in its favor. I've never seen "The Dukes of Hazard" but I imagine this would have been a decent episode somewhere in the series run.

The basic plot is that Three Mean Stooges hear about a computer-equipped car worth $200,000 and they think that kidnapping the designer (the hero's wife) is a good idea. For some reason never explained.

Then the AI in the truck reveals that he may be A, but not very I. Everything works out in the end, and there are some interesting bits (the hero and the main villain, hunting each other in a junkyard, pass on opposite sides of a junk car, but they're facing away so they don't see each other. OK, OK, with Bill Rebane you grab what you can.)

The man thing is that, for a comedy, it's kind of funny in spots. The guy playing Bear (a kind of proto Brad Garrett) is so effusive and sincere in his stupidity that he's funny. I'm surprised that he kind of went nowhere, but Evil Moe in this film had more of a career. (Played by a proto Joe Pesci.)

It's competent, funny in spots, and has a story. I award this film "The Best Bill Rebane Movie."

Wellllll….better than the better Andy Milligan movie.
