Review of Storm Trooper

Storm Trooper (1998 Video)
7/10
Fun Wynorski sci-fi action film
28 June 2022
An abused housewife (Carol Alt) receives a surprise visitor on a dark and stormy night when a man with amnesia (John Laughlin) shows up at her house. Searching for him is a government agent (Zach Galligan) who has hired the trigger happy team of a sadistic mercenary (Rick Hill). That might be trouble but the housewife and stranger have secrets of their own.

I don't want to go further into the plot as there are a couple of fun twists and surprises along the way. I've always liked Laughlin so it is cool to see him in a lead. He is quite physical in the role and there is one great single take shot where he takes out three members of the team that is really well done. Hill is also really good in his role as the no nonsense military guy and his intro where he is torturing a guy while being apologetic is great. A big surprise here is Alt, who gives a good performance that belies her model background. There is also an impressive motorcycle and semi-truck chase that may seem familiar to folks as it is taken from Wynorski's 976-EVIL II. Co-stars include Tim Abell, Corey Feldman (wearing an eye patch!), Rocky DeMarco, Jay Richardson, Ross Hagan, Kool Moe Dee, and John Terlesky. Yes, we get the first two Deathstalkers in Terlesky and Hill in the same film!
