Dollman (1991) – Sci-Fi Action Thriller Hey Cannon Cruisers fans! This week we are checking out the 1991 sci-fi actioner Dollman, directed by Albert Pyun and starring Tim Thomerson, Jackie Earle Haley, and Kamala Lopez. The film follows Brick Bardo, a hard-boiled cop from the planet Arcturus who finds himself stranded on Earth after a space pursuit, only to discover that on our planet, he is only thirteen inches tall. Join JD and Randy as they discuss why this Albert Pyun cult classic is the perfect choice for a high-energy, 82-minute watch. The hosts break down Tim Thomerson’s iconic performance as the pint-sized peacekeeper, Jackie Earle Haley’s turn as a ruthless gang leader, and the creative practical effects used to sell the scale differences between the hero and his new environment. They also explore Pyun’s ability to deliver an enjoyable genre film on a micro-budget and debate how this gritty, "tough guy" space cop story holds up decades later.
