James, Clint, Charles, and the Mayor sit down to dissect this "masterpiece" of '80s sci-fi cinema, The Vindicator (1986) The captivating tale of Carl Lehman, a scientist who becomes the unfortunate victim of a tragic lab accident (cue dramatic music). But fear not, for the wonders of monkey-based corporate science come to the rescue! In a stroke of genius, they transform Carl into a bionic man (because movie scientists will never learn not to play God). Now, armed with superhuman strength and endurance, our bionic protagonist embarks on a mission fueled by the most profound of motivations: revenge! Watch as Carl, with all the emotional depth of a rusty tin can, battles the villains responsible for his predicament. Also, his ex-best friend tries to get with his smoking-hot wife.Starring a bunch of Canadians, Pam Grier, and Stan Winston made the suit, so that's good.Bad Movies Rule is a movie podcast about the movies you love even if no one else does.You can support Bad Movies Rule on Patreon here.You can join our community on Facebook and TikTok.You can email the show any movie related questions for our mailbag episodes here.
