Sledgehammer (1983 Video)
8/10
A fine piece of cinematography
3 January 2003
I rented the movie Billy Jack, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the woman at the counter had mistakenly given me a movie entitled SledgeHammer. Rather than correcting her, I gave it a try, and boy o' boy, did I make the right call! This movie had everything and much more! Okay, maybe not MUCH more, but this was indeed the singlemost innovative horror of the 80's, a true underground hit. The beautiful outside photography and still close-ups of key symbols throughout the entire movie would make this an art house hit, but the dynamic cast and contemporary dialogue creates a demand from the mainstream. The scenes where the band of friends sit for breakfast allows the viewer to connect with cast, almost as if they were sitting next to them and not watching.

One of the characters was so awesome that I based a Dungeons and Dragon character on them! My friends and I also based an ENTIRE CAMPAIGN ON THIS MOVIE called: "The Fantastical Sledgehammer Wars of 1997"!!!
