Trying something different, I decided to take a gander at the library of B-movie video house, PM Entertainment. They put out a flurry of movies (near 100) in the time span between 1989 and 2000, just before the home video market crashed due to the explosion of cheap DVDs.
Essentially, they picked up where Cannon Films left off. Whereas the rest of the 1990s was slowly moving away from testosterone based action and excitement throughout the decade, PM Entertainment kept the fire burning.
Much like Cannon, PM was buit by an immigrant who had nothing in his head aside from making fun movies people could enjoy. There was no pomp, pretension, or audience hatred involved. They just existed to entertain, and they did so.
While PM died just as most things did during the '90s, their high point was considered between 1994-1997, long after traditional '80s action movies were a thing of the past. I'm going to look at a few of them in this special episode.
JD's ratings:
Shotgun (1989): Not Recommended
Maximum Force (1992): Recommended
