The Chucky Lou AV Club presents:BULLETPROOF(1988 - Steve Carver - 93m - 35mm) 11PM Saturday, November 4Screenland, 1656 Washington, KCMO"Gary Busey IS...Past His Prime!Out of Breath!Marked For Retirement!Cheap For Hire!And, in this late-80s video store filler, Gary Busey is, inexplicably... BULLETPROOF (all caps, just like his teeth). Once promising Oscar hopeful and No-Helmet Law supporter Gary Busey stars as a tough cop whose mellow is irreparably harshed by foreign bad guys who delight in repeatedly shooting their guns at him. Bitch, don't you know he's Captain Frank McBain aka Bulletproof and he's got a mason jar full of bullets yanked out of his body sitting in his medicine cabinet? Best not front because Bulletproof is a must for all y'all that dig ACTION. And tanks. And guns. And cars that chase each other. And sometimes all three! Not to mention a supporting cast straight out of a psychotronic fever dream including LQ Jones, Henry Silva, R. G. Armstrong and Danny Trejo! If you fear retarded Lethal Weapon ripoffs then Bulletproof will be... (all together now) your worst nightmare, Butthorn!" - Pat Vamos Preceded by a dispiriting look at Busey then (trailers for The Buddy Holly Story, D.C. Cab etc) and, at 10:45 (if time permits) Busey now, in jaw-dropping clips from last year's shameless cash-grab appearance in the Turkish anti-American propaganda hit Valley of the Wolves: Iraq. Plus! A heartwarming display of kids' letters to Busey. Tickets $6.50. For more information call (913) 522-4515. The Chucky Lou AV Club meets the first Saturday of every month. Attendance is mandatory.
