IN VIETNAM THEY FOUGHT FOR THEIR COUNTRY. NOW, THEY RE FIGHTING 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.
In The Annihilators, the war comes home as a group of army vets, battIe-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 violent criminaI gang. Deciding that enough is enough, the seIf-styled AnnihiIators, led by the redoubtable Bill (Christopher Stone, The Howling, Cujo), set out to equip the beIeaguered citizens of downtown Atlanta with the skills they need to rid their streets of crime and vice.
Directed by Charles E. SelIier Jr. (Silent Night, DeadIy Night) and co-starring Gerrit Graham (Phantom of the Paradise) and Lawrence HiIton-Jacobs (Death Wish), The Annihilators is a brash, no-holds-barred slice of vigiIante justice from the goIden age of B-movie action.
