Keep it up. You have to do a review of the 1980 vigilante movie "The Exterminator". It also about a Vietnam vet turned vigilante. I haven't seen it since I was a kid back then. All I remember is there's ascene where he kills a guy by smashing him in a garbage truck.

    This does look cheesy as hell and as equally fun. And not in a so bad it's good kind of way. As an 80s kid I still remember the culture back then, how people weren't overly serious or perfectionist about movies. And low budget action flicks like these were appreciated for what they were. They were products of their time, and it was the best time.

So 80s plus any movie that has Freddie "BOOM BOOM" Washinghton & Paul Koslo (who was an underrated actor ) is definetly must see C Plus - B minus flick. That cross body block scene in the alley way might have been an homage to Capt. Kirk StarTrek: S2 E10 "Journey To Babel". Lol Kirk with one of his typical badass moments!

    So I'm just going to park this here in the hope that someone in the GBF community knows what I'm talking about. There was this ad I used to see all the time on....I am pretty sure it was USA network. It featured a woman getting ready for work early in the morning while her man was still in bed. The color pallet was mostly in soft muted grays to reflect the early hours. She kisses him goodbye before she goes to work. The ad also had what sounded like a phone being dialed in a musical way. I seem to recall that the tag line was(at the conclusion of the ad) For The Woman Who Has Everything But Time. I know this will likely yield no cotton, but if any community can find this......
    I would also hit up the Kenny Lauderdale community, but he mostly does obscure anime(might be outside of his wheelhouse).
