Talk:The Exterminator

message: If Executioner Part II deserves its own page, I have placed a synopsis here. 
Well, I finally found a copy of the Executioner Part II, an obviously derivative film of the Exeterminator. An acquaintance of mine found this film quite unintentionally amusing, and
I can discern why. The sound is wanting, the stock music to many
laughable, and to many viewers it is so 80's ish that it serves as a
time capsule. Aside from that, note that the closing credits were shown
so smeary and indistinct that even the IMDB has yet to try to decipher
them. The film has Christopher Mitchum and Aldo Ray in it. 
The first thing to remember is that there was no Executioner Part I.
For that matter, this has no relationship to any Don Pendleton series
or to the Penetrator. The film opens in 1970 in Vietnam where we see
Sergeant Roger O'Malley saved by his friend Mike during a combat scene.
Abruptly moving forward to the present, we see O'Malley as now a
policeman in Los Angeles (it would seem-the film was made in
California) investigating the fifth unsolved homicide in two weeks to
be attributed to the vigilante the Executioner. Curiously, we can see
Mike hanging around the scene of the crime. Later, a gang attacks a
woman on a roof. The Executioner, clad in a long ski mask and army
uniform, scares off the gang, but sticks a grenade underneath the mask
of one of them. We discover that the Executioner's weapons include
grenades, broken glass, and guns.
Later we see Mike at his car garage as gangster Antonio Cassalas (the
Tatoo Man) visits. Mike pays protection money to Cassalas, who refuses
to pay a bill to Mike's garage. Later Roger visits. We find out that
Roger has an about 18 year old daughter named Laura, who was in the
second grade when he returned from Vietnam. Apparently, his spouse, who
seems to be named Ann, died. Laura, meanwhile, has become a narcotics
addict, dealing with the pusher Peter Vance, who works for Cassalas.
Vance and Cassalas are fascinated that Larua is a virgin. Later,
Cassalas meets with Eastbrook, an aid to the man running for mayor;
this candidate is in Cassalas' pocket. Eastbrook asks Cassalas to
curtail his activities due to the upcoming election. Police
Commissioner Fred Hudnall (played by Aldo Ray) then arrives.
Meanwhile, the Executioner goes on another mission, killing a man by
putting a grenade in his pants. Elsewhere, Laura and her fellow addict
friend Kitty talk about cocaine. Laura mentions that she needs the
funds to get cocaine for herself and Ben, her lover-though they have
not consumated their relationship. Kitty then says "Enter the
freakshow, get a look at the last American virgin". Kitty informs Laura
how she has gotten the funds for her narcotics by working as a
prostitute for Pete Vance.
Later, Mike, Roger, and Celia Amherst, a reporter for KBG-TV covering
the Executioner story as well as editorializing against the growth in
crime in the area, meet for dinner. Roger and Mike recall the Bijou
theatre in the neighborhood they grew up in. Later, apparently under
the stress of a Vietnam flashback (he has serveral during the film)
Mike attacks a group of criminals, including Dan, an enforcer for
Cassalas who earlier had roughed up Mike. He kills one of the criminals
with a broken glass. Laura, initiated into prostitution, discovers that
Cassalas enjoys torturing women with cigarettes and razors.
Roger, apparently suspicious of Mike, visits him at the garage and
lifts some fingerprints from a Tequila bottle. He has them compared to
the glass used to kill an Executioner victim. Cassalas, having
concluded that the publicility Celia Amherst has created for the
Executione was bad for his activities (scaring off prostitutes,
pushers, and addicts), orders her kidnapped. Roger asks a prostitute
named Diana about Cassalas, and then Vance abducts Laura for a special
night with Cassalas. Kitty sees this and calls the police, but since
she cannot give her name to the police, she then calls Celia Amherst.
Celia gets the message and calls Mike (apparently guessing that Roger
would be with him-the film is not clear on this). Roger earlier
confronted Mike about his being the Executioner and gives him three
hours to leave. Mike gets the message from Celia and sets out to save
Celia and Laura.
Making his way to the enemy's base, Mike saves Laura from Cassalas.
Celia has been fondled by one of Cassalas' men, but she manages to grab
a Japanese style sword (katana?) from the wall and stab him through the
chest, transfixing him through a mattress standing against the wall
(the underling mentions that the place was soundproofed-presumably the
mattress against the wall was part of this). The underling manages to
drag the mattress with him and attempts to grasp Celia, but Mike
arrives. Laura, Mike, and Celia flees as dynamite that Mike primed goes
off.
In the denouement, Roger and Mike meet at a threatre (perhaps the
Bijou). Roger allows Mike to flee. The public gets allowed to believe
that the Executioner simply fled to another town.
Amusingly, at one point, a radio announcer refers to the Executioner as
perhaps a "modern day Superman". Since Superman's adventures have long
been set in contemporary times, this is odd. Of course, the
Exterminator (Robert Ginty) seems to serve as a template for this film.
Anyone have a better lookingy copy of this film? I cannot make out the
cast.
Does anyone know if the makers of the Exterminator ever heard of this
film?

message: Last paragraph has no citations and lacks a year in the date referenced. Final line ("[...] new movie will bring new and old fans to discover and relive this great franchise") has a promotional tone. If it's a quotation from the company's spokesperson or filmmaker, it needs quotation marks. Not sure I can make these changes now. WJHollerich (talk) 20:52, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
