Bristol Bad Film Club really spoil us. This month, they’ve got this truly preposterous 1984 action flick from Italian Demons director Lamberto (son of Mario) Bava, which, for some bizarre reason, has just been reissued in glorious HD by genre specialists 88 Films.

Michael Sopkiw, of Massacre in Dinosaur Valley ‘fame’, stars as ex-cop Jake ‘Tiger’ Sharp who unleashes vigorous vengeance on a bunch of deer poachers after they rape and murder his long-lost daughter. In the very definition of ‘damning with faint praise’, Quentin Tarantino has hailed this as the “best movie that legendary director Lamberto Bava has ever called ‘action’ on.” As one critic observed: “Every action hero should have an awesome name like Tiger; never mind the golfer, this is the man you should really be rooting for. He has a handlebar moustache of retribution and looks a little like Ned Flanders gone crazy.”
