This pilot for an ill-fated tv series was really a lot of fun. Seems to me the script was penned with Bruce Campbell in mind for Blackheart, as it has a bit of the ol' Evil Dead 2 type humor to it.
If you haven't heard of it, here's the synopsis from I think the only website about it that has pics and real info on the show. www.geocities.com/monster_smasher/
During World War II a renegade scientist invented green goo (yellow plasma, actually) capable of transforming the dead into an army of monsters to fortify enemy troops.
In retaliation, America gave life to the antidote – Matthew Blackheart – a monster-smashing machine, built from the reanimated remains of American war heroes.
Now, fifty years (fifty-five, actually) later in New York City, Blackheart returns after being frozen in time. The world has changed – but the monster domination remains the same. Armed with super-human powers and an old-fashioned sense of justice, only Matthew Blackheart can beat the undead at their own gruesome game!
Why do I mention it? Because it's coming on SciFi Channel this weekend... sunday morning at 8am. After that they are showing lots of fun monster movies include Dog Soldiers, Monster, Dragon Fighter and Sasquatch, etc.
