Writers: Jim Wynorski, Steve Mitchell
Stars: Kelli Maroney, Tony O'Dell, Russell Todd, Karrie Emerson , Barbara Crampton
The cast is wonderful as features personal favorites Barbra Crampton and Kelli Maroney. Maroney is basically our lead and final girl and she’s so fantastic. She hasn’t had has many leading roles over the years as she’s deserved but this is certainly one of the highlights.
When it comes to cult films Jim Wynorski is no stranger. A number of his films fall under the “cult film” umbrella and maybe none more so than his second directorial effort 1986’s Chopping Mall, a film about a state-of-the-art security system installed at a mall to cut down on theft and other criminal activity. The system includes security robots programmed to stop thieves and disable them via tasers and hold them until the proper authorities arrive.
Chopping Mall is no Citizen Kane. It’s easy silly by B-movie standards in many ways. Still it’s incredibly enjoyable and to finally see Lionsgate not only release it on Blu-ray but to do so on a wonderful collector’s edition is a absolute dream.
