Film / Crime B Movie Bingo Tonight!

Wolf Choir's B Movie Bingo series continues tonight at the Hollywood Theatre with American Hunter, a 1990 Indonesian hard-boiled crime thriller starring Robert Mitchum's kid. What's it about? I'll let the official synopsis on the Hollywood's site do the talking, as it does a much better job than I ever could (emphasis mine):
In American Hunter, Chris Mitchum stars as Jake Carver, an Interpol agent and martial arts expert. While on a mission to recover microfilm that holds information that can destroy Wall Street, he meets an adversary’s secretary and falls in love with her. She is subsequently kidnapped at least four times. His nemesis, Adam (non-contact karate star Bill “Superfoot” Wallace), has a pet falcon and monkey and can often be seen in a sweat suit. This movie is action-packed with plenty of car chases, kidnappings, denim, and Chris Mitchum on a motorcycle. The most boring part is a ten minute helicopter chase that ends in total anti-climax. Directed by Arizal.
What's B Movie Bingo, you ask? Well, everyone gets a bingo card and marks off bad-movie cliches as they occur onscreen. Here are some examples of what you might see, courtesy of Wolf Choir:

Whoa, did Mama Fratelli just get her head stoved in by a basketball?

Chris Mitchum couldn't look more disinterested about being in this movie. Also, that poster looks like the box for an NES game.
