- Yeah... I think of them as sort of the "Spinal Tap" of airport-lounge
- paperbacks, i.e., a funny and very knowing parody that took on a

- I really enjoyed the slightly tongue-in-cheek "Remo Williams"
- movie, too, though I must admit that the Doberman pursuing
- Fred Ward through the factory stole the show. (For perspective,
- keep in mind that I saw it on Dollar Night at a "draft house," a
- pleasant Atlanta cultural institution wherein you sit there

-
- I seem to recall seeing the name of Richard Sapir (co-creator of the
- Destroyer series, along with Warren Murphy) among the credits of
- one of those Hollywood bullet ballets, probably Lethal Weapon II.
