The Annihilators - Good Bad Flicks 

If Roy Boy needs another nickname I nominate "Not Kurt Russell"

One of the movies when the box art is better than the film.

Kudos for not taking the easy joke and calling them "The B Team". Proud of you, Cecil!

The A-Team we have at home.

Probably my favorite Gerrit Graham roles is that of Jay Sherman's dad Franklin on "The Critic." That character's alcohol-fueled insanity was always heartwarming.

Gotta love how this feels like a combination of The A-team and Death Wish 3.

Remember renting this waaaaay back in the mid-eighties. It's a fun movie. And no one will ever confuse Mr. Jacobs for Mr. T. Thanks, Cecil. You are the best.

Regarding the 'tasting drugs' trope: in the Drew Carey show, there was an episode where a bag of suspicious white powder is found in the office. The security officer dips his finger in, touches it to his tongue and issues the pronouncement "I have no idea what cocaine tastes like."

You know it's a bad neighborhood when there's a Blue oyster cult logo spray painted on a wall

I know he's done loads of other work; but, whenever Gerrit Graham turns up on my screen, I think of Beef in the Phantom of Paradise. "Hobo With A Shotgun", it's like "Annihilators", its like "The A Team", it's like "The Magnificent Seven".

6:30. They are gonna make SO many pancakes. The people fighting back in The Annihilators seems better than in Death Wish 3.

"The Annihilators. It's like the A-Team .... uh, that's pretty much it. It's like the A-Team." LMAO

Andy Wood who played Woody was also the main POW Rambo saved in Rambo: First Blood Part II. He looked SO familiar to me.

I love middle-age vigilante dads vs street gangs made up of non-scary balding 30-year-olds wearing accidental homoerotic 80s fashion movies. We need this genre back. Some of the death wish sequels also fit this genre.

Always happy to see a Robot Jox callback!

Oh man! I remember this! It felt cheesy even back then. But it was a fun little mindless action flick. And that move where he throws himself butt first at the two guys looks like something a fat enemy would do in a side scrolling beat-'em-up. Keep rolling out the these nostalgia bombs, Cecil!

Gerrit Graham was great in Phantom of the Paradise. I've never heard of The Annihilators before!

The A-Team, except the bullets hit their targets and people die. Thank you for another great video!

Always got to have that flamethrower on the movie poster whenever you're describing some dystopian apocalyptic future.

That crazy, wrestling-esque double takedown is awesome! I guess I missed this one 'cuz I was anticipating Invasion USA. 😆

I remember renting this movie from the local video store, like, every week.

The same guy responsible for Silent Night, Deadly Night, nice. You killed Garret Graham!!

While the surfaces events were taking place, Frank Kersey was taking out the other gangs behind the scenes.

Damn, when I saw the meat mallet scene I realized that I have seen this movie but it was WAY back when, early 90s maybe. You continuously bring back long forgotten memories with your videos. Keep it up. You have to do a review of the 1980 vigilante movie "The Exterminator". It also about a Vietnam vet turned vigilante. I haven't seen it since I was a kid back then. All I remember is there's ascene where he kills a guy by smashing him in a garbage truck.

Woody's unique combat style would be revived centuries later by Captain James T. Kirk, as demonstrated in the documentary "Tomorrow is Yesterday".

Now THAT is a movie poster

"Random Idiot Child" has gotten many would-be heroes killed in several 80s action films.

4:40 Beef AND Boom Boom in the same movie!?! Count me in!!!

RIP Christopher Stone 🙏

I'm surprised at how good the cast is! I never heard of this movie until now... I definitely need to check it out!

This is what Joe Bob Briggs called an "assemble the squad" movie. Re. 11:38: As Humphrey Bogart once said, "she tried to sit in my lap, and I was standing up at the time."

I remember this flick!! I love the call for help!!!

"If you're ever a town in trouble. Overrun by gangs, hooligans, and various caricatures of stereotypical bad guys, and you need help... Call...The Meh-Team."

I laughed so hard at Tony Boney and the banana phoneys i actually peed a little

Maybe I've seen too much of this channel, but you'd think that a veteran in a wheelchair would pack some kind of heat with him, even if they're not the spring-loaded kind.

"It like the A Team" It certainly is lol

The people of Ferrix want their tapping signal back ! ..... this is the way ! 😆

The annihilators are here to fight the war against drugs. A tale as old as time.

I saw this movie for sale on Kino Lorber’s website,the plot synopses they provided reminded me of Death Wish 3.

1:31 love that classic Atlanta Braves hat though.

I remember the poster for this when it first came out! This video reminded me of the actual title, which I'd long forgotten, and I was so excited to finally find out who the masked guy was... oh, bugger.

Is that Beef from Phantom of The Paradise?!

Roy Boy And The Rollers was the original title for Eddy and The Cruisers.

"People have been murdered by unknown assailants; what do you mean no one wants to be seen identifying them?"

2:58 Hey! That Trinitron is gonna be worth some nice money in 5 decades! We'll see who's laughing then.

To a degree it also resembles "The Substitute", although that film was about soldiers of fortune not war vets. I seem to remember almost all action pictures in the 80s centered on Vietnam vets in some way.

Cecil + Audio = best stuff on a Documentary

Group leader was actor Christopher Stone who was in many tv shows and was married to Dee Wallace of The Howling

Cecil, this plot is like one of those apocalyptic wasteland movies you love 😂

4:27 The Rainbow Mika butt slam, works every time

R.I.P. Christopher Stone

I was about 3/4's of the way through when i noticed Freddie 'Boom Boom' Washington ! ah , the sweathogs ! You doing a commentary track ? sounds like a winner !

Time to Irish up that coffee! Hahahaha!

Nice to hear the cast got along so well.

the big bald musclemoustache dude was the same dude that got chopped by a propeller in Raiders Of The Lost Arc fighting Indy

I'm pretty sure Roy Boy and the Rollers were just the band booked to play that weekend at Joe's Disco Tavern. Those dudes got _funky_ .

[7:44] The folks in this neighborhood must really like Blue Oyster Cult!

Joe had that coming for wearing a Braves hat

The “Satisfaction” beat drop was too good. 🤣 God I love this channel so much

You know if it's got Veitnam war scenes it's from the 80s. This does look cheesy as hell and as equally fun. And not in a so bad it's good kind of way. As an 80s kid I still remember the culture back then, how people weren't overly serious or perfectionist about movies. And low budget action flicks like these were appreciated for what they were. They were products of their time, and it was the best time.

Yes! Loving these weekly uploads!

I was waiting that whole video to learn the identity of the masked man. Excellent reveal!

Never heard of this one before, and yeah it has a lot of similarities with the A Team all right. Looks like a fun movie, thanks for the review as always Cecil!

4:27 Well, Jimmy Snuka he ain't...

"Guess I'll just have to test this talcum the old fashioned way!"

The background graffiti has to be the funniest I've ever seen

"Another suicide mission"...Not how suicide works 😅😅 Also, the guy in a wheelchair "tells everyone to stand up". Gold.

Is that Gerrit Graham? Beef! Beef! Beef!

The powdered sugar joke made me laugh far more than it should have.

It took me 3 minutes to realize I actually have seen this movie before. I thought i dreamed the this.

If the Fonzi joined they'd be the Aaaaaaaa Team. I couldn't think of anything clever to say :p

So I'm just going to park this here in the hope that someone in the GBF community knows what I'm talking about. There was this ad I used to see all the time on....I am pretty sure it was USA network. It featured a woman getting ready for work early in the morning while her man was still in bed. The color pallet was mostly in soft muted grays to reflect the early hours. She kisses him goodbye before she goes to work. The ad also had what sounded like a phone being dialed in a musical way. I seem to recall that the tag line was(at the conclusion of the ad) For The Woman Who Has Everything But Time. I know this will likely yield no cotton, but if any community can find this...... I would also hit up the Kenny Lauderdale community, but he mostly does obscure anime(might be outside of his wheelhouse).

2:04 If that murder happened in Atlanta, why is there a Dekalb County Sheriff's patrol cruiser in the movie scene? 🤣🤣

I don't know why but for some reason I'm reminded of the A-Team...

When I first saw Christopher Stone I thought, hey it's Tom Atkins! Then Paul Koslo, hey it's Kurt Russell! ...heh.

On the one hand, great surprise nod to the one and only Freddie B.B. Washington (I still got a soft spot for the Sweathogs) On the other hand, not one comment about the Blue Oyster Cult cameo at 7:44?

That kid had just escaped a game of turkey foot with uncle paul and then saw a man killed. Poor little guy is screwed up for life

0:15 Exactly! 1:46 May he Rest In Peace. 9:05 😂 I did see this film sometime last year I wasn't the biggest fan it seem like New World Pictures was trying hard to be a Cannon Group film of that era like in that same year this film come out they had "Death Wish 3" which is my favorite Cannon Group&Bronson film period IMHO. Another fun installment Cecil👍👍

I actually saw this on cable way back in the day. Yes it's goofy, silly, zany, a "A-Team ripoff", but it is curiously entertaining, just go with it & enjoy!! So 80s plus any movie that has Freddie "BOOM BOOM" Washinghton & Paul Koslo (who was an underrated actor ) is definetly must see C Plus - B minus flick. That cross body block scene in the alley way might have been an homage to Capt. Kirk StarTrek: S2 E10 "Journey To Babel". Lol Kirk with one of his typical badass moments!

OMG it is the husband from The Howling....

Man I am getting Deja Vu. I swear you have done this before. I remember all the scenes and dialog you did....

0:35 Beef! Or Bud the Chud if you will. He was also the father in *Terrorvision.* 6:38 you've obviously have never seen the beginning to *The Untouchables.* You don't know if it's _real_ booze unless you _SAMPLE_ it!

The fact Jacobs beat out Kelly an actual Martial Artist im not shocked he was surprised by that

More like the AARP Team. *engagement*👍

Blessings Cecil. Keep it up.

Every time you said Garrit, I wasn't sure if you were talking about the character or the actor.

Bud the Chud!

Omg, this is such an A-Team ripoff that it's like a fully expanded parody skit of A-Team!! Lmao, the most entertaining parody since the Robot Chicken "B-Team" sketch!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My parents love The A-team, but not this, I presume. I love this channel! Keep the good work on!

A fine start to the evening with two classic cases of "I understood that reference!" (at 01:40 and 05:00).

yet another cheese movie that I want watch thanks to you

Looks like a young John Wick was on that bus.

Blue Oyster Cult symbol spray painted on the wall in the background at 7:44🤘

Oh I miss the old 80s art style they used back then because you usually couldn't tell how terrible it is actually going to be, I used to call them mirages lol

Hey Cecil, any plans for some new merch? I’d love a shirt with just your logo on it! Keep up the good work you’re my favorite channel!

Looking forward to purchasing this with your audio commentary.

2:25 A tier acting with the emotion on the extra's face.

Oh pleeeeeeeeeze review Loose Cannons!!!

Ah the good stuff!

Sad to see what happened to Washington after high school when he got out from under Mr. Kotter...
