Episode 191: Inferno (aka Desert Heat)

For two guys who do a B Movie podcast, it’s rare to come by a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie we haven’t seen. But leave it to our faithful listeners to find such a movie and a very weird one at that. Just as JCVD started losing some steam with duds like Double Team and Universal Soldier: The Return, he starred in one of his first direct to video features, Inferno (aka Desert Heat). This is not only a very weird movie that starts off with a very serious tone and ends up being a comedy of sorts, but it also has Pat Morita spew out a line I never thought I would hear him say.
