Yesterday movie of the week was "The Exterminator" (not to be confused with "The Terminator", 'The Destroyer", or a movie about a pest control specialist). After surviving Vietnam with his BFF, two guys stop the warehouse they work at from getting robbed and the robbers paralyze said BFF. The Exterminator goes on a killing spree of everyone even vaguely associated with his friend's problem as well as some evil pimps. There's a lot of incongruous background music (half the time the film thought it was a romantic comedy), a boring romance subplot because the cop on the Exterminator case and a vaguely British doctor, and a lengthy boring scene (as in tools but appropriately, the most boring scene in the movie). The worst missed opportunity occurs when the Exterminator goes to kill a bunch of people listening to "Disco Inferno" and he chooses to forsake his flamethrower of the previous scene for a gun. Also, he didn't say, "Disco is dead and so are you." So sad.Adam's grandma's review: "Good. We should watch 'Exterminator 2.'"
