Dollman Vs. Demonic Toys

Better than expected box set from Full Moon Entertainment
When I was a growing up in the early 90's Full Moon films were some of my favorite things to rent at the video store. At that time in the 90's Full Moon was pumping out very high quality direct to video material in form of Puppet Master, Subspecies, Trancer sequels, and of course Dollman and Demonic Toys. Though Full Moon Entertainment still exists today pumping out really crappy films, their early offerings still are guilty pleasures of mine. Yes I am a Full Moon fan. I'm not happy to admit it, but their early films still hold a special place in my black heart.

Most fans today know about the situation Full Moon has with their old distributor Paramount Pictures. Paramount still holds the rights to Full Moon's old movies and will not allow Full Moon to release them on DVD. This is why the Puppet Master box was pulled from the market.

Underrated Cult Classic!!!

IT'S NOT A NIGHTMARE, IT'S THE SOUTH BRONX
Tim Thomerson stars as Brick Bardo, the "Dirty Harry" of the planet Arturos located 10,000 light years away. Arturos is one of those odd planets with a parallel development to that of Earth, down to the English language with slang. While chasing a bad guy (one that is just a flying head) the enter some undefined force field which causes them to crash land in the South Bronx at a time when chain smoker Kamala Lopez is trying to rid her neighborhood of drugs. Bardo is only 12 inches tall on this planet and instantly gets the nickname "Dollman" as he aids Kamala against a gang.

If you recall the special effects in "The Incredible Shrinking Man," they didn't get any better for this film. The movie was good on Arturos, but once they come to Earth, it spins its wheels. Not really worth a watch unless all you have are Asylum of Tempe videos.

F-bomb, no sex, no nudity.
