Storyline

Following the brutal rape of a young woman by a gang of construction workers, a mysterious figure wearing a motorcycle helmet and driving a gold hearse begins hunting the perpetrators down. The masked avenger's weapon of choice, obviously, is a nail gun, with which he (or could it be she?) takes out the rapists one by one. Just who is this murderous vigilante?

User Reviews

Physics & Logic be damned!

First a woman is raped. Then a hick (complete with mullet) sleeps with his blonde girlfriend before he goes out hunting or such. Then we see a hideously filmed scene that rivals the oscillation shot from "From Dusk till Dawn 2" with absolutely NO sound. Then we see some dork who drives a hurst shoot people with a high-powered nail gun that defies the laws of physics by NOT recoiling in the slightest. And, at the end, we see as the 'massacre' ends with the killer being shot and the creators of this atrocity pointing the camera into the sun and causing the videotape used to make this warp.

There. Replace the rest of the running time with boredom and you've watched the movie. Enjoy. Not even enjoyable enough to be MSTed.
