Let’s start by counting off some of the bodies (aka, actors) you’ll see in Body Count.
It’s something of a star-studded affair, by RiffTrax standards at least. We’ve got Robert Davi. We’ve got Brigitte Nielsen. We’ve got Jan-Michael Vincent. We’ve even got martial arts legend Sonny Chiba playing an unstoppable assassin. Given all that, we have to assume Quentin Tarantino owns this movie on a 35mm print (especially since it features an actual foot fetish scene)!
Body Count is your classic police vs. killer scenario, with one clever twist: they take a simple plot and make it confusing as hell. To help you out, it goes something like this: Sonny Chiba kills some mafia guys, it turns out he was hired to do this by a cop, the cop doesn’t pay, Sonny Chiba decides to get revenge on all cops until he finds the dirty cop who double-crossed him, someone gets pushed out a window while sitting in a desk chair, Robert Davi has awkward foot-based ***** on a boat, stuff like that.
More fun facts: it’s set in New Orleans, the cops talk way too much about *****, and they spend a lot of time in the sauna. Talking about *****.
It’s fun, it’s dumb, it’s a good time. So load yourself down with Mardi Gras beads and join Mike, Kevin and Bill for Body Count!
