Mr.
No Legs
Ricou Browning, the Olympic swimmer best
known as the man inside the suit of The
Creature from the Black Lagoon, directed
this amazing bit of weirdness which could
only have been a product of the cinematically
insane 1970s. Richard Jaeckel stars as a
Florida policeman tracking a gang of heroin
dealers led by evil fatcat D'Angelo (Lloyd
Bochner), who naturally has his hooks into
everything, including the corrupt police
captain (John Agar). There are drag queens,
barroom brawls, shootouts, and the usual
mayhem, but what makes this film particularly
noteworthy is its central hitman, Lou. He
has no legs and travels in a motorized wheelchair
decked out with Chinese throwing stars and
2 double-barreled shotguns. Lou is also
strong enough that when he isn't blasting
people with his killer wheelchair he can
swing around on his arms and use his legless
torso to bludgeon people into submission.
Rance Howard plays Lou's trusty sidekick,
and the film co-stars an African-American
dwarf, accomplished stuntwoman Courtney
Brown (who gets in a fairly flamboyant catfight),
and Flipper's Luke Halpin!
