Lunatic in Obnoxious Flowered Shirts Kidnaps Girls
4 February 2024
A mama-obsessed psycho (Joseph Turkel) kills the wife of a respected lawyer, and then blackmails the lawyer into kidnapping two teenage girls for more unsound fun. Most of the story, though, is devoted to the poverty-row motorcycles gang, led by Stephen Oliver, who captures the teenagers. Oliver, his girlfriend, and two feeble sidekicks bicker and fight constantly. Turkel gets his hands on the girls, but a sympathetic biker overpowers him and puts him out of his sick misery.

Lawrence's slow-moving B-movie promises teenager torture, but never delivers. The highlight is Turkel, who seduces a mannikin and plays the middle-aged lunatic in bug-eyed lunatic fashion, although his wardrobe -- consisting of early-70s styled flowered shirts -- is pretty obnoxious, too. Stafford Repp (the Irish cop from TV's "Batman") has a cameo role.
