He was their go-to American director, so it only made sense that Golden Harvest was comfortable utilizing him.ДЄnd boy do they get their mileage out of him in the attack scenes the bowling alley and the subway are great, dynamic and fun, but the theatre is hands down my favorite. Clouse was always good with action his work on Enter the Dragon (1973) was kinetic, which led him to working with Golden Harvest on Bruce LeeвЂ™s posthumous release, Game of Death (1978), and their subsequent failed attempt to bring Jackie Chan to North America, The Big Brawl (1980). Besides Groom, Crothers is the other American brought in to give it that вЂњHollywood feelвЂќ, and as always the Scatman delivers a Scatman performance on par with every other one, even if he does earn his вЂњspecial appearanceвЂќ billing.Д«ut cast aside (and theyвЂ™re all mostly fine), Deadly Eyes thrives in its set pieces, and they are doozies. Conventionally handsome, he comes across as James Franciscus adjacent which is to say heвЂ™s amiable and pleasant and thatвЂ™s that.

Speaking of, Sam Groom is an interesting choice for the lead. Speaking of victims, Deadly Eyes offers up a banquet of Canadian bacon to chew on mainstays of the scene such as Cec Linder ( Goldfinger) and Lesleh Donaldson ( Curtains) offer a comforting feeling to those enamored with maple drenched movies of the era, as do Botsford and Langois, rivals for the affections of Groom.

It gives them a sense of scale that just canвЂ™t be attained with camera trickery, and to makes them even more endearing, animatronic puppetry is used for close-ups, Muppet rodent heads sloppily bobbing in blood as they gnaw at their victims. LetвЂ™s start with those darn rats, shall we? It makes my heart grow at least two sizes larger to see director Robert Clouse ( Enter the Dragon) use actual dachshunds in rat costumes, because: a) itвЂ™s inventive, and b) it mostly works. Once you separate this chaff from the wheat however, youвЂ™re left with a first rate When Animals Attack cum Giant Monster flick. This little love triangle plays out ridiculously later on, and just as ridiculous is the love scene between Kelly and Paul, complete with roaring fireplace and shadowed areolae (incidentally, the name of my straight edge band). The End.Д®xcept not really, because IвЂ™ve left out that middle section with the love story between Kelly and high school teacher Paul Harris (Sam Groom вЂ“ Deadly Games), a single dad and the object of affection for student Trudy (Lisa Langois вЂ“ Happy Birthday to Me).

Once taken away to be destroyed, the film is off and running rats eat the feed and grow to the size of dachshunds, which theyвЂ™re played by (excuse me?), a baby is munched (sorry, say what now?), we get a bowling alley massacre (haha really?) followed by a movie theatre invasion (STAWP IT) and culminating in a subway melee between the giant rodents and our heroes (HOT DAMN!). Our film opens with health inspector Kelly Leonard (Sara Botsford вЂ“ Murder by Phone) and her field agent George Foskins (Scatman Crothers вЂ“ The Shining) checking out a chemically contaminated shipment of grain. But Deadly Eyes is way more fun than I remembered, even if it could use some serious weight loss around a paunchy midsection.

Released in October by Golden Harvest (the Honk Kong based studio with nearly 300 production credits) in Canada and stateside by Warner Brothers the following April, Deadly Eyes (aka Night Eyes) laid droppings all over the place according to critics and audiences alike, and was quickly relegated to clamshell heaven. (Sorry Joe Bob Briggs, I couldnвЂ™t resist.)

Today weвЂ™re scurrying back to my particular turf for Deadly Eyes (1982), Golden HarvestвЂ™s Canadian-lensed attempt to move over from Kung Fu to Rodent Fu. ItвЂ™s not a sub-genre that sparked off franchises (does Willard and its sequel Ben count? Let me know) or inspired Funko toys, but rather has films strewn here and there throughout horror history. Until you start watching killer rat movies, you donвЂ™t realize how few killer rat movies there are.
