Two-Fisted Tales

1992 · 91 min

A punchy, comic-book-style anthology with a wry host, mixing wartime tension and eerie twists in brisk, pulpy segments.

Genres
War, Tv movie, Western
Overview
The foul-mouthed, wheelchair-bound Mr. Rush introduces three adventure tales inspired by the EC Comics of the 1950s: "Showdown," "King of the Road," and "Yellow." This star-studded telefilm was an attempt to launch a second anthology series in the mold of "Tales from the Crypt." When the film failed to generate sufficient interest, the three tales were re-edited and shown as "Crypt" episodes.
