lol Simon77 your comment almost made me spill my ginger ale when I read it ahaha, another invaluable movie to add to the library of congress! that was great.  Yeah this looks like a true classic of cinema.  That looks like a friggin stock photo of Armand Assante on the cover.

Well I guess that when Ron Perlman stars in dreck like this and then awesome movies like Hellboy II, he's essentially following the strategy that Lance Henriksen has implemented for his entire career: star in anything he's offered to be well off and pay the bills.  Val Kilmer and Cuba Gooding Jr. also employ this algorithm as well.

I also remember reading an article on filmthreat.com or a similar site that actually asked the question as to why actors like Val and Cuba and others do these films and let it spill that they are only paid scale pay which for them is not more than $250,000 to act in the film but I guess if you factor in them doing like 4-5 a year then that adds up to some decent coin for them even though they are slumming it in awful direct-to-DVD masterworks.
