Detective
Danny O'Brien was responsible for putting psychotic maniac
Simon Moon - who the media nicknamed The Terror - behind bars.
That was three ago and now The Terror has escaped and started
another killing spree. The only man who can stop him, again,
is O'Brien...
Hero
and the Terror from
1988 has not aged well - not that it was ever anything other
than a b-movie to begin with. The characters are two dimensional
and some of the acting is laughable - I dare you not to snigger
as Chuck Norris (playing detective O'Brien) stalks his prey
like a kid playing cops and robbers.
Add
to this the fact that Jack O'Halloran is very under used as
The Terror (mainly lurching around like Frankenstein's monster
- isn't this the guy who outwitted the police time and time
again?), a token black cop buddy who is killed and a token
wife who is pregnant, and you have yourself a "what were
they thinking?" movie.
There
are so many holes in this film that it's difficult to know
where to start unravelling the plot. Firstly, if
O'Brien really believed that Moon had returned and was holed
up in the Wiltern theatre, why did he not have the place swept
for evidence, instead of asking for a police officer to be
stationed there on guard.
And
when the police do eventually pile in to search the building
why do they find nothing and yet within 10 seconds of O'Brien
entering the premises he uncovers a not very hidden door which
leads to The Terror's entry and exit point to the building.
And
what was that awful ending music all about? That has to be
just about the world's worst ballad!
Don't
be a hero and try and sit through this... it truly is the
worst terror I've had to endure for ages.
