Yeah it might take a little doing to do it, but the hero is never really up against powers that dwarf his own. It's basically a matter of stealing the plane back and forth, and there's not much suspense at work.<br /><br />"The Undead" is a favorite of mine, just because it tries so hard to be artistic. But it features Mike / Kevin / Bill at their best, wringing comedy out of the ether. "Y'know, Smolken's naked sometimes" is one of the greatest filler jokes of all time.<br /><br />Best parts of "Werewolf" are the end credits and the guy who gets into a fistfight with the werewolf. I really get the feeling they hired the guy to just get thrown around by the werewolf, and he said, "no way am I going down without a fight! At least let me punch the werewolf before I go down."<br /><br />I guess Tyrone wasn't available. TUSK!<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPiZOi1aBF8Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
