This was a horrible movie with bad acting. Bad special effects.
TV host Chuck Toedan is harrassed by moral activist Gloria Sternvirgin (Robyn Blythe) and receives death threats from hitman Luigi Pappalardo (Beano), who isn't happy that mafia boss Spumoni (Mark Lasky) was an unlucky contestant on Toedan's controversial gameshow Live or Die.The thing with black comedy is that, for it to work, it doesn't just have to be in dubious taste, it needs to be funny as well.
Strangely, this cheapo effort from Crown International Pictures seems to have got plenty of air time on UK TV channels over the years. I remember when Bravo used to show it all the time at the turn of the millennium, and now Talking Pictures TV have picked it up as part of their Crown package.
