The VelociPastor is a 2018 movie about a priest who becomes a velociraptor and kills baddies. It was written and directed by Brendan Steere. I don't know who did the poster but the dino that the pastor turns into does not look like that. It looks like this.

Wow, just fuckin' wow! I guess you can't expect much with a $35,000 budget. In many ways it's a lot like a Troma release. Not always a bad thing. A good bit of the movie is shot in the woods, the same spot is used for modern day China, modern day USA and 1960s Vietnam. It's in China that the Pastor gets hold of the magical dinosaur tooth that turns him into a dino. It doesn't always turn him into the complete creature, often it's just his hands that turn into claws. Still fine for killing scum.

The Pastor joins up with a prostitute to wipe out criminals and the police are on their trail. There's plenty of running about and yelling, some bad fights and worse dialog. It's got a bit of good sense of humor but not enough to make me like the movie more than a 5 on the IMDb. That's being a bit generous, as I did get a few laughs from the movie's more ludicrous moments. Unintentional laughs but you take what you can get. You can see it's IMDb score of 5.9 is heavily skewed by the 20% of the users that voted it a 10. Are they deluded or are they the director and his pals? Not one I would pick up.

Dangerous Men is another that I'm going to skip on picking up for myself. It's a movie that was made back in 1984 and it had a showing in 1985. The film maker John S Rad edited it for 20 years before finally releasing it in 2005. Rad rented 5 theaters in LA for a week and the ticket sales were $2238. John is really Jahangir Salehi Yeganehrad, he produced, wrote, directed, co-edited the movie, and wrote the music. It got a video release in 2015 but John had passed away 8 years before.
It's a crime movie, with a rape revenge sort of story. Melody Wiggins and Coti Cook play a young couple, they're on the beach when they encounter a couple of bikers. The bikers plan to rape Melody but Coti puts up a fight and kills one of the bikers. The other biker kills Coti and distraught over his friend starts to walk away. Melody runs after him, convincing him to take her with him. She convinces him she wants a real man and he takes her along to a motel. She fucks him up good with a steak knife. On the run Melody gets a ride from an older guy who tries to rape her in the desert. She gets the advantage, strips him of his clothes and leaves him naked in the desert. The movie cuts back and forth between Melody and the naked guy int he desert for a quite a while. He's lucky to only get a sunburn on his nob. He could have been leaving other fluids on the desert.
Melody picks up a prostitute and pumps her for info on the dangerous streets and people. She kills some johns and a pimp. The cop is still on her trail. She's eventually arrested in a park and doesn't appear in the rest of the film. The action follows the cop as he busts a white biker named Black Pepper. It ends in a clumsy way.
The whole movie is just generally clumsy, poor dialog, story elements that make little sense, goofy music, bad acting, crappy fight scenes, all the sort of things that make people laugh at this non-comedy. The IMDb Trivia page has some interesting tidbits.
Jahangir Salehi died in 2007 and never lived to see the movie receive a full national distribution from Drafthouse Films in 2015. However, his daughter, when later interviewed, said she was not sure he would have understood the film's place as a "so bad it's good" movie. At a midnight screening he was able to attend before his death, he referred to everyone laughing in the theater as "just a bunch of drunk people."
The car which is pushed down into a gorge belonged to Jahangir Salehi's daughter. Even though she had paid for the car herself, Jahangir took the car without her permission and only told her she would never see it again. It wasn't until 20 years later when she saw the film that she learned what had happened to it.
Melody Wiggins, who plays Mina, the would-be main character, broke her leg during filming in the 1980s and refused to return to production after Jahangir Salehi would not cover any of her medical expenses.
Sadly it's just not good enough to enjoy much. How sadly deluded the director must have been. It gets a 4.4 on the IMDb and that seems high to me. I gave it a 3. You can see a copy on YouTube in the link in the title above.
