The Weapons of Death, The Vehicles of Destruction, The Army of Terror… Together they spread their evil across the land. But then there was… W!

Filipino action staple, Anthony Alonzo, stars as W (inexplicably referred to as “W2” throughout), a rogue police sergeant who winds up the victim of evil cult leader-slash-opium supplier-slash-castration enthusiast, Nosfero, after his corrupt department… ahem… drops the ball on their investigation. Newly testicle-less, W vows his revenge on the crime lord and his army of mind-controlled biker thugs, willing to engage in all-out war with or without the help of his department.

Milan came out the gate firing on all cylinders with his first Maxsploitation feature, which features some of the best “tooling up” montages and literally explosive climaxes of its era.
