'L.A Heat.' (1989) - Joseph Merhi.

PM Entertainment's low-budget, bullet-shredded, late 80s shoot 'em up, L.A Heat is greatly elevated by the charismatic presence of big Jim Brown. LA Cops go hard after a violently  gunhappy drug dealer which affords bargain bucket action impresario Merhi plentiful opportunities for soft-boiled B-Movie badinage and righteous amounts of slo-mo squibage! The skeezy downtown L.A setting is grungily atmospheric, and there's a boisterously old school Blaxsploitation vibe throughout that I really dug. Straight-shooting detective Lt. Chance (Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs ) is a tough, likable good guy, and psycho cop-killer Clarence (Kevin Benton ) makes for a convincingly malign street thug.
