Sam Panico Iller Workout is not the same movie as Death Spa. Sure, they're both about a killer let loose inside a health club, but they're totally different movies.Originally titled Aerobicide, this is all about a fitness club in LA owned by Rhonda Johnson (Marcia Karr, Savage Streets). The co-owner is her twin sister who was burned in a tanning salon two years ago and is presumed deceased. The action kicks in when members of the gym start getting killed in horrible ways. And by that, I mean a giant safety pin. Yes, this is the second movie I've seen in the last few months where a pin is used to kill people (Lucio Fulci's Murder Rock, stand up and take a bow).This is the second David Prior movie I've endured in the past few days (The Final Sanction will be posted soon enough). It's also worth mentioning that even after the final kill and reveal, there is still an extended aerobics number. If you miss the 80's, particularly spandex and people wearing outfits that put their entire butt on display, I'm pretty much telling you that this is the exact movie you're looking for. Unless you were thinking of Death Spa.

warsystem04 "Killer Workout" is one of those movies where I just can't figure out if it was made as a spoof or not. It's just that bizarre.Set in a fitness club, there are multiple EXTENDED scenes of insanely sexy girls in spandex working out and practically revealing it all. The cameraman should be awarded for somehow immediately zooming in on the bustiest girl in the room in every one of these softcore aerobic fetish scenes. These are basically the highlight of the film, and you'd probably be better off watching exercise regiment infomercials than this. HOWEVER, I can not say I don't recommend it, because I absolutely do.The body count is extremely high, though nothing is particularly gory at all. The killer uses a giant safety pin for some unexplained reason to kill the victims, having to stab each of them in the neck like ten times. Why none of the poor girls didn't try to simply use their arm to get poked instead of their jugular vein, I'll never know. I'll also never know why there are also multiple martial arts showdowns lasting an obscene amount of time between ripped bodybuilders, but I digress. The last twenty minutes of this one are an absolute glorious mess, with one of the most ridiculous plot elements in slasher history, and an incredibly long and dull chase scene.While it may sound like I just tore this movie spandex limb from spandex limb, it is a must see on sheer absurdity value alone.

morrison-dylan-fan Sorting out a bundle of DVD's with my dad to be traded into CEX,I suddenly noticed a DVD in the bundle for a film that I had never heard of before.Taking a look on Amazon Uk,I was surprised to discover that the movie was a near-forgotten late 80's Slasher movie,that sounded like a workout worth taking part in.The plot:Having recently opened a gym,Rhonda Jackson is focused in getting as many people through the doors as possible,and also keeping her less them helpful staff in line.Sadly for Rhonda,the gym's name gets seriously tarnished,when someone begins going round brutally killing members of her staff and the general public.Being desperate to stop the murders from continuing, Det. Lt. Morgan decides to take a look at the inner workings of the gym,so that he can find out what is leading this gym to being everyone's last fatal workout.View on the film:Whilst the screenplay by writer/director David A. Prior does sadly lack the fizz and disco-stabbed heart beats that the terrific setting should have offered this watchable Slasher,Prior thankfully a real flair in his directing by giving the movie some memorable off-beat scenes.Along with featuring a scene that beats Final Destination 3 by 19 years,and also featuring some flesh from the stunning actresses every 5 minutes,Prior also gives the last 30 mins an unexpected psychological twist,whilst also making sure to make the use of a baby's nappy pin as a murder weapon be something pretty distinctive that will lead to the viewer really feeling "the burn".

bfan83 **SPOILER WARNING!* I LOVE this movie! It is quite possibly the cheesiest slasher to come out of the 80s, but that's what is so irresistible about it! The plot concerns Rhonda (Marcia Karr) an overall unpleasant woman because several years earlier she was accidentally baked inside of a tanning bed while trying to get a tan so she could be on the cover of cosmopolitan. Due to this horrifying traumatic incident, she starts killing off the clients of her gym because she is jealous of their beauty! Talk about totally cheesy 80s slasher plot. KILLER WORKOUT also features the best weapon of choice - a large safety pin used to off the client's one by one! The acting is, of course, really atrocious. But it still maintains the neat 80s charm. The bad music, the bad fashions, the bad hair. I could go on and on. It was obviously made on a shoestring budget. But like I said, all of that gives it its charm. You must seek it out at once! If not for the atrocious acting and the unbelievable plot, then for it's totally awesome soundtrack! Only You Tonight has to be the best 80s pop song out there!
