Fighting Mad

Demme's third and final film for Roger Corman really shines. It's another formula picture, but this time it transcends the formulaic elements and comes close to feeling like a personal expression. It's got some serious flaws, including a really long, dead section leading up to the final climax, but you can see why Demme moved on after this one and started making films on his own.

A rather ordinary B action/revenge picture made palatable by a lot of directorial flair. You can totally tell that Jonathan Demme was going places
