EXPECT NO MERCY

Dir. Zale Dalen / Canada / 1995

The year is the 21st century. Megalomaniacal college dean Warbeck (played by a man named Wolf... really!) has harnessed video game technology in a diabolical plan to annihilate mankind with digital battle clowns and murder wizards (really!). Thank fucking christ for the power duo of stand-up Canadian Jalal Merhi and pre-Tae Bo master Billy Blanks (really!), the only humans on earth with the various vicious virtues to violently vanquish VR villainy... VEALLY!!
