DOWNTOWN HEAT (1994)

Director Jess Franco made this cop drama in the 90s and like most things from that decade it blows. This might be the most unlike a Jess Franco movie that I've ever seen his name attached to and it really seems more like your typical police TV show of the time than anything the master of sleazy Eurotrash cinema would have made. The one bright spot in this turd is Franco's mate and greatest find Lina Romay as a punk rock leader of a gang of miscreants. In her segments suddenly the movie briefly becomes a MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME rip-off with her taking the Tina Turner role(there's even a midget who mimics his big stupid friends which reminded me of Master Blaster). Sadly her appearance isn't very long and then it's back to very boring cop drama territory. Skippable and forgettable!
