Michael Sopkiw triple feature! All I’m missing is Monster Shark and I’d have this guy’s entire filmography. I do love me some Italian exploitation though.

Trailers

Michael Sopkiw stars in this Southern-fried action thriller as an embittered cop just released from prison after serving a lengthy term for killing the man who had murdered his wife. Wishing for a peaceful, serene change of pace and a chance to catch up with his daughter (Valentina Forte, Cut and Run), he moves to rural Georgia to live off the land. Alas, this pastoral existence is short-lived thanks to a sleazy group of poachers who supply an even sleazier scientist with live animals for sadistic biological experiments. Armed with the superweapon Blastfighter, he goes on a bloody rampage against the poachers in this classic Italian revenge movie.

Pre-order Blastfighter on Blu-ray from Amazon.
