Mission Manila (1988)
So bad it has to be seen to be believed
Saw this on cable television in Asia. Larry Wilcox of TV's 'CHiPs' grows a mustache and looks like a cross between Nick Nolte and Chuck Norris (but with a lot less talent). The film looks like it was filmed with someone's home movie camera. Larry (aka Web) is trolling around Manila looking for his brother, running into many 80s clad Filipina women and a horde a terrible character actors you've never heard of. The dialog is absolutely horrendous, as are the action scenes, which look like a bunch of drunks tumbling off of each other. In the film's climax, Larry commandeers a pimped-out Tuk Tuk that looks like an ice cream truck on LSD and infiltrates the antagonist's home. The purity of the film's awfulness actually makes it worth watching--for a laugh. This would have made good fodder for Mystery Science Theater 3000.
