Fist City is a monthly series by The Saint Louis Video Society that pulls the most obscure, weird and rarely seen/ screened VHS Tapes from their archive and brings them to the Arkadin screen…for FREE!

The de Anda brothers’ mean and uncompromising OCCUPATIONAL KILLER (1986) aka POLICÍA DE NARCÓTICOS pits a pair of federales against a murderous cartel that’s killing innocent people and turning their corpses into drug mules. While racing to stop this heinous operation, the agents must also contend with the mysterious, homicidal vigilante, “The Executioner”—a shotgun-wielding psycho thats always one step ahead of the feds in laying bloody waste to cartel members.

Valentin Trujillo, one of the biggest action heroes in all of Mexican cinema, takes the lead in this pseudo-sequel to his earlier effort, UN HOMBRE VIOLENTO (1984). Though the film is just a blip in Trujillo’s forty-year career, it’s nonetheless an incredibly solid, English-friendly introduction to the legendary star—especially for sicko fans of ‘high body count’ classics like DEATH WISH, COBRA, and OUT FOR JUSTICE. 

Ripped from a rare English-dubbed, Japanese VHS.
