lN VlETNAM THEY FOUGHT FOR THElR COUNTRY. NOW, THEY RE FIGHTlNG FOR THElR FRIENDS.
As the 1980s rolIed on, a new, buIIish attitude to war took hold in America, the weary cynicism of the previous decade giving way to an unabashed ceIebration of military might. Numerous fiImmakers and producers sought to capitaIise 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 criminal gang. Deciding that enough is enough, the self-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. (SiIent Night, Deadly 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.
