Wolf Choir‘s B Movie Bingo series continues tonight at the Hollywood Theatre with American Hunter, a 1990 Indonesian hard-boiled crime thriller starring Robert Mitchum’s kid. What’s it about? I’ll let the official synopsis on the Hollywood’s site do the talking, as it does a much better job than I ever could (emphasis mine):

In American Hunter, Chris Mitchum stars as Jake Carver, an Interpol agent and martial arts expert. While on a mission to recover microfilm that holds information that can destroy Wall Street, he meets an adversaryโ€™s secretary and falls in love with her. She is subsequently kidnapped at least four times. His nemesis, Adam (non-contact karate star Bill โ€œSuperfootโ€ Wallace), has a pet falcon and monkey and can often be seen in a sweat suit. This movie is action-packed with plenty of car chases, kidnappings, denim, and Chris Mitchum on a motorcycle. The most boring part is a ten minute helicopter chase that ends in total anti-climax. Directed by Arizal.

What’s B Movie Bingo, you ask? Well, everyone gets a bingo card and marks off bad-movie cliches as they occur onscreen. Here are some examples of what you might see, courtesy of Wolf Choir:

Whoa, did Mama Fratelli just get her head stoved in by a basketball?
