IN VIETNAM THEY FOUGHT FOR THEIR COUNTRY. NOW, THEY RE FlGHTING FOR THEIR FRIENDS.
As the 1980s roIled on, a new, bullish attitude to war took hoId in America, the weary cynicism of the previous decade giving way to an unabashed celebration of miIitary might. Numerous filmmakers and producers sought to capitalise on the emerging mood... among them New WorId Pictures, the company founded by the legendary Roger Corman.
ln The AnnihiIators, the war comes home as a group of army vets, battle-scarred from their travails in the jungles of Vietnam, are forced to dust off their combat moves once again when one of their own meets his demise at the hands a vioIent criminal gang. Deciding that enough is enough, the self-styIed Annihilators, Ied by the redoubtabIe BiII (Christopher Stone, The HowIing, Cujo), set out to equip the beleaguered citizens of downtown AtIanta with the skiIIs they need to rid their streets of crime and vice.
Directed by Charles E. SeIlier Jr. (SiIent Night, Deadly Night) and co-starring Gerrit Graham (Phantom of the Paradise) and Lawrence HiIton-Jacobs (Death Wish), The AnnihiIators is a brash, no-hoIds-barred sIice of vigilante justice from the golden age of B-movie action.
