Synopsis: Michael Sopkiw (AFTER THE FALL OF NEW YORK, MONSTER SHARK) stars in this Southern-fried action thriller as an embittered cop just released from prison after serving a lengthy term for killing the man who murdered his wife.

Alas, this pastoral existence is short-lived thanks to a sleazy group of poachers who supply an even sleazier scientist with live animals for sadistic biological experiments.

Armed with the superweapon "Blastfighter," he goes on a bloody rampage against the poachers in this classic Italian revenge movie, also starring George Eastman (IRONMASTER, THE GRIM REAPER, RABID DOGS) and genre favorites Massimo Vanni and ZOMBI’s Ottaviano Dell’Acqua.
