Legion of Iron - 1990

 "Ain't you heard?  Superman's black." 

This was the line that made me want to write a review of this during the watching of it rather than wait til the end.  I don't need to finish this in order to give a review, we've all seen these kinda things before.  

This is some prime 90's stuff that you'll find as a gem if you dig through some Charles Band, some Troma, and some of those other halfwit distribution companies.   This stuff is low budget sleazy dirtbag shit, which is exactly what you're looking for, what you want, need, and love.

There's a lot of rape but no nudity in this flick which was surely shot in some warehouse somewhere.  Main character Billy is a football star who is kidnapped along with his girlfriend and taken to an underground gladiator type event which supposedly makes millions of dollars - they must have a bad accountant because none of this supposed wealth is ever visible.  Poor actors who were likely never in anything else cavort around, peacocking and strutting like it ain't no thang.  Then we watch as fights happen and an uprising begins amongst the gladiators, and that's the paper thin plot.

According to IMDb the director has an upcoming project, which will be released soon.  I'll bet anyone $1000 that it never comes out.

The Petrified Forest - 1936

 FUCK! I guessed one year off.  I'm going back to Bogie. We just don't have actors like him anymore. To jump into that,  I'd say...
