Scorchy (1976)
1/10
An epic stinker

Warning: Spoilers
I had the misfortune of watching this movie that I picked up as a throw-in at a garage sale. I should have left it. The premise of the movie is believe it or not Connie Stevens as a crime fighter. Connie Stevens is totally miscast and totally unbelievable. Connie was only believable when she was taking off her clothes or making out with her boyfriend when she had to do acting well I have seen more range chili dipping wedge shots at my local golf range. When she tried to do action scenes running or handling weapons I was looking for her beautician and stylist to come and help her. When she handled a gun I was waiting for her to shoot herself in the foot. If this was a black comedy or a satire on action movie I may have given it a 3. Since the lowest rating is a one this is what I gave it. This is a movie that starlets make when they reach that certain age (Ms. Stevens in reality was never really a star any particular stature unless you look at who she married.) The movie did show her true range when she had her clothes off unfortunately since her voice and when she tried to act tough I literally had to pause the movie since I was laughing too hard. I only recommend this if you are truly wanting a step on the bizarre side.
