A/V CLUB THEATER SPECIAL: 'DEADBEAT AT DAWN (1988)'
This 1988 zero-budget action oddity is the result of writer/director/star, Jim Van Bebber's insistence that he could be an action star. The result is a bonkers action film worthy of the 80's filled with bad F/X, questionable acting, and absolutely insane fight scenes. In true 80's style, this movie does not hold back. Grab your popcorn and strap in for this one.
