We close out #JuneBOOM with 1981's FIRECRACKER, advertised by New World to be "the first erotic martial arts thriller." How true is this statement?

We're kicking off #JuneBOOM with a cap gun as we bravely tackle 1985’s STAND ALONE, a movie that dares to ask: what if DEATH WISH had a smaller budget, barely any action, and Charles Durning hanging around a diner for 90 minutes? STAND ALONE stars Charles Durning as Louis Thibadeau (a name you will hear repeated too many times in this film) as a former WW2 veteran who won't back down from violent drug dealers that look to take over his neighborhood.

One of the biggest inflection points for New World Pictures was when Roger Corman bought a former lumberyard and turned it into a studio to shoot BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS, which jumpstarted many careers from James Cameron to this week's guest, editor Daniel Gross! Daniel may have started with New World on BATTLE, but he went on to work on New World films like TUFF TURF, SORCERESS and HIGHPOINT while also editing trailers and promotional materials for the company after Corman sold it.
