Double Bill Pack 5 : Night Flowers / Swift Justice - Harry Hope - (various) DVD

Night Flowers - Louis San Andres - (1979)
Unpleasant story of rape and murder involving a disturbed veteran of the war in Vietnam. First of all, lets clear something up. If you are a Linda Hamilton fan who is hunting this flick down in order to catch a glimpse of the lovely lady in an early role - Don't bother. SHE AIN'T IN IT!!! Nonetheless, 'Nightflowers' works just fine without her. Following the progress of two Vietnam Veterans through the soul desert of 70's New York, the film is little more than a handful of fascinating sequences in search of a plot, but holds the interest through offbeat, quirky characterizations and its one-of-a-kind atmosphere. It intelligently avoids any attempt at wider social commentary or 'message' and achieves a genuine, tragic power through chilly understatement and observation. Especially impressive is Gabriel Walsh, who also wrote the piece, as the most sympathetic of the vets. He's a gentle, simple soul who's overwhelming alienation is pushing him toward total breakdown.

Swift Justice - Harry Hope - (1987)
All right then! A blond, big-breasted bimbo are driving through Nevada with stardom ambitions in Las Vegas. Unfortunately her car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. And the only nearby town's watering hole, Pop's Oasis, happens to be the hideaway for several horny and corrupt residents who get their own forcefully plans about her. It gonna end pretty ugly. But fortunately the girl is not all alone. A hermit Vietnam vet and his trustfully falcon are always ready to kick some rapist ass! All very graphic!

Note: Screen Rolls a few times in the first minute. Plays Fine after that.
