NEVER TOO YOUNG TO DIE (1986)
Being such a huge fan of the show Gene Simmons Family Jewels I decided to rewatch all of his film efforts.
I started with the one that is the most fun.
How can you go wrong with John Stamos, Vanity and Gene Simmons in a film. Gene plays Ragnar a hermaphroditic super villain bent on extorting a city by threatening to poison its water supply. With his/her endless supply of goons that look like they stepped from The Road Warrior, Gene manages to chew the scenery with relish.
This is the best, mindless action movie of its time. The villain is over the top. Vanity looks amazing in clothes and out of them. I didn't even mind John Stamos. With short appearances by Robert Englund and George Lazenby this is the cult flick that everyone should be watching.
And the scene where Stamos has to beat Simmons by biting one of his boobs. EPIC!
And to finish this out with a bang, here are the lyrics of the song 'Stargrove' which is about Stamos because that's his characters last name.
"Are ya feeling like breaking out?
Looking for danger
Feeling adventurous
Then you must
Put your trust
Not in a stranger
Playin' your own game
Do it your own way
Keepin' your own sound
That you found
Goin' down
Playin' like you play
Who knows what you'll find
You might like it, or not
But all that you find, boy
Is all that you got
(Stargrove!) Flying like you've never flown
(Stargrove!) Runnin' through a danger zone
(Stargrove!) Are you gonna stand alone?
Stargrove! Stargrove!
You feel like takin'
The world on your shoulders
You're just a Robin Hood
Makin' good
Where you could
You're one of the soldiers
Faster than lightning
Nothing can strike you
You got the good stuff
Tough enough
Stayin' rough
There's no one like you
Who knows what you'll find
You might like it, or not
But all that you find, boy
Is all that you got
(Stargrove!) Flying like you've never flown
(Stargrove!) Runnin' through a danger zone
(Stargrove!) Are you gonna stand alone?
Stargrove! Stargrove!"
It just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it?
