Ever wonder what a cheap Italian riff on Big Trouble in Little China might look like? Well, wonder no more! We're covering American Rickshaw in today's installment of Sick Flicks!
Directed by noted Italian genre specialist Sergio Martino (Torso, Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key), this film was had to come by for years. Now it's available on Blu-ray, for your next movie night! Released in 1989, and alternately known as American Tiger, American Rickshaw finds Mitch Gaylord caught up supernatural shenanigans that involve Donald Pleasence and a sort of female version of Lopan!
It's all too complicated to describe here, but trust me -- you won't want to miss this one!

Want to support the channel? www.patreon.com/Horrorgeek ko-fi.com/thehorrorgeek Important note: KZfaq made me change a recurring joke in this video....I was not allowed to say words that rhyme with "gut slug" without getting demonetized. As such, any time you hear me mention a "Michigan strawberry", replace it with the words that rhyme with "gut slug". I'm sure you can figure it out. :p Thanks as always for your support!

"Whattayamean, you don't know what a Michigan strawberry is? I'll explain it slowly for you..." I'm sorry to learn YT's screwy S&P reprimanded you for something so trivial.

Miami Vice, pictures of missing children on milk cartons, the Guyana mass suicide, Firestarter featuring a preteen Drew Barrymore, the references to Jimmy Swaggart and a very, very long etcétera, make for a totally incomprehensible experience for younger generations. Christ I’m old! The sandwich artist and cobra with a bus pass lines place this episode on my top three instantly, without even breaking a sweat! However, this film doesn’t get a two thumbs up or a high five, for some of the characters just don’t have what it takes!

This is the wonder of you. When you mentioned that we finally get some gore when budget Richard Moll burns the key through his hand, I realized I forgot this was a "horror" movie and we were gore hunting. I still loved every minute without the gore card because you just crack me up! The Himalayan cat agrees.

Haha! Thank you! That's always the goal -- even if it's not gory, to at least make you laugh a few times.

Hey now!! A Michigan strawberry 🍓?? . Im from Michigan and couple girls from the show me state 🤣. This film is a cinema delight that pushes the boundaries between a orange faygo that turned into 150 proof after being left out under certain conditions and really fine cheese. Thanks again for your show.

This movie may beg the age old question, “Why?”....why was Donald Pleasance cast as a southern preacher?; why would they cast Mitch Gaylord as lead in a movie tailored towards a mainly heterosexual male audience?; why the heck am I so hung over on the morning of St. Patrick’s Day?...sometimes the answer is “why not?”

This one was basically a sort of lost film for awhile. You could find bootlegs of it on the trade circuit, but for years it was almost like it never existed otherwise. The second they announced the blu-ray, it was like "yeah. gotta preorder that..." It's a bizarre little film. :p
