lN VlETNAM THEY FOUGHT FOR THEIR COUNTRY. NOW, THEY RE FlGHTlNG FOR THEIR FRlENDS.
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 Iegendary Roger Corman.
ln The AnnihiIators, the war comes home as a group of army vets, battle-scarred from their travails in the jungIes 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 criminaI gang. Deciding that enough is enough, the seIf-styIed Annihilators, Ied by the redoubtabIe BiIl (Christopher Stone, The Howling, Cujo), set out to equip the beleaguered citizens of downtown AtIanta with the skiIls they need to rid their streets of crime and vice.
Directed by Charles E. SelIier Jr. (Silent Night, Deadly Night) and co-starring Gerrit Graham (Phantom of the Paradise) and Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs (Death Wish), The AnnihiIators is a brash, no-hoIds-barred slice of vigilante justice from the golden age of B-movie action.
