Terror Squad (1987)
This is one of those perfect situations where the people making the film were genuinely trying to make something similar to other well liked films at the time such as Red Dawn... and a turd was produced instead... 75% of the film is a car chase scene that is filled with the most random and absurd situations. The chief of police, played by Chuck Conners (The Rifleman), even runs over a citizen and only exclaims his frustration as he drives on. A few of the biggest blunders in the film include: Blue mats are seen on camera when actors dive from explosions, Chuck Conners disappears for no reason with about a quarter of the film to go, one of the most deadly scenes is where the terrorists drive circles around a city hall building killing everyone and the citizens just stay in the circle, and at the climax of the film there is a bus chase scene that features a bus that continuously changes from a full size to short bus.
This film needs the RiffTrax treatment. After one viewing it should write itself!

You have got to at least see this movie. I'm from Kokomo where they shot this turkey and it was the biggest deal in the world that Chuck Connors was going to star in a movie in our little city. Then it came out.

YES. I actually saw this IN A CINEMA.On a double bill with I think "The Punisher." (The version with Dolph Lundgren that went to straight- to-video in the US.)
