Just thought I'd get this thread rolling. Arch Hall Jr. has got to be my favorite guilty pleasure. I never grow tired of watching his flicks. Although a mediocre actor at best, he's got a certain screen presence that makes him fun to watch. Wild Guitar, Eegah! and The Choppers are just plain fun while he ramps up his acting chops in The Sadist and Deadwood 76'. The only film that was hard for me to watch was Nasty Rabbit, which I have yet to revisit but will some day soon. While these can all be picked up fairly cheap (and the discs pretty much reflect that fact) there's nothing I'd like more than to see them boxed up, enhanced and bolstered with a lot of special features like commentaries. Until that day, make mine Alpha.

Yes Arch Hall Jr. Love Eegah!. Listen BMC-08 Interview with Richard Kiel Eegah himself. I have Wild Guitar and The Sadist but I have not watched them yet. Maybe I will do a podcast on him some day.

Eegah! was great, if you haven't had the chance I would recommend Mystery Science Theater 3000's take on that one. That was actually my introduction to Arch Hall Jr. My personal favorite though is Wild Guitar, if you liked Eegah, I think you will like this one as well. It doesn't have the same horror/sci-fi bent but contains just as much cheese if not more. It also has the added distinction of being directed by Ray Dennis Steckler, another personal favorite of mine who, I believe, made a small appearance in Eegah as well.

Yes I think he was by the pool at the end.
