Non-Cannon ~ Episode 4 - The Exterminator (1980)



This action movie was a surprise hit when it was first released in 1980. Before action movies took the scene by storm, vigilante movies like Dirty Harry and Death Wish were the thing to be. This one starred Robert Ginty as a Vietnam veteran who is pushed too far and decides to slaughter perps after they attack a friend of his.

To be frank, this movie is terrible. There is no plot and no central villain. Characters dip in and out of the story. The main character destroys any justification of his crusade out of the blue. The ending makes no sense. Nothing follows. The direction is pedestrian. The acting is atrocious.

Randy disliked it, but JD outright hated it more than any movie they have covered thus far. Find out why in this episode!

Randy's Score: 1/5
JD's Score: 1/5


Up Next: The Exterminator 2!
