Bristol Bad Film Club: The Divine Enforcer

Director

Certificate

Running Time
90 mins

For their June feast of cinematic ineptitude, the Bristol Bad Film Club serves up a film fully deserving of the exclamation, “Holy crap!” Yep, it’s the tale of a martial arts god-botherer who gets all Old Testament on the asses of scumbags and vampires alike. Michael M. Foley (star of Desert Kickboxer, no less) gets the title role of Father Daniel – a psychic priest who becomes so disgruntled with lawlessness on the streets of LA that he decides to take practical measures to deal with the drug-dealing scum. Specifically, he uses his impressive martial arts skills to whup huge quantities of bottom, aided by crucifix blades and a natty gold handgun with a cross on the handle. Then he encounters scenery-chewing vampire serial killer Don Stroud

This one’s especially naff even by the low standards of straight-to-video back in 1992.  Which means, of course, that it’s also enormous fun. Profits from this screening go to Cintre. Advance tickets, price £5, are available here.
