The only reasons I rented this movie is my love of grindhouse cinema, Rutger Hauer's draw, and the cover art for the DVD release.
Slightly fun over the top movie, but didn't quite capture the 70's and 80's grindhouse feel ala Troma or Corman. It was silly and it knew it, this film didn't take itself seriously at all which is a must for good exploitation cinema. IMO to have good grindhouse shlock you need to be unintentionally silly, but serious in tone, while at the same time understanding that some might not take you seriously. This movie was just too over the top for it's own good. Also, not enough nudity which is a requirement of good grindhouse.
As a side note, this is probably among the best films I've seen to come out of Canada.
