Trivia:

A fine, fine film

Oh yes, I remember long ago when I starred in this film, as my portrayal of the dastardly Swamp Rat surely won the praise of many fellow actors on the set. Yes indeed, it was this cameo appearance that would lead me on to great, great things in the future. Yet I digress, as far as the quality of this film goes... I would have to say it is no less than brilliant. The acting? Superb! The plot? Simply magnificent! And the special effects? They will blow your mind! I wont reveal the clever twists this movie entails, but I can say there are many unexpected surprises involved, believe me, I was on the set! But let me just say this: if you thought Robocop was good, wait until you've seen "The Demolitionist"!
