Blaster II: The Second Blast

Johnny Blaster, the absurdist essence of all 1980s action heroes, returns in the long-awaited sequel. The ultimate macho, whose verbal delivery consists only of badass one-liners and pathos-laden speeches, must once again fight his way through legions of enemies to rescue his once-again kidnapped wife.
While the first The Blaster was mocking macho action flicks featuring Vietnam veterans, in the second, the amateur group Founder Movies ventures into a galaxy of trashy Star Wars rip-offs. James Cameron himself, or rather his young self slaving away on Roger Corman productions, would surely have appreciated the low-cost art direction on display here with its abundance of smoke and neon lights. The nostalgic retro feeling is further enhanced by the pulsating synthwave soundtrack and the involvement of popular stars of the Czech voice-acting scene. (The Shockproof Film Festival)
