PM Entertainment Project

Here at Cinemageddon there is a project going for the great Action International Pictures. In that project it is mentioned that AIP closed down thanks in part to PM Entertainment making superior action flicks. That's definitely true. While AIP movies were always hampered by very low budgets, for much of their existence PM was able and willing to blow up cars, crash helicopters, and stage elaborate stunt scenes. While Joseph Merhi and Richard Pepin started off making low budget, often horrible action and horror films under the name City Lights (MAYHEM, EPITAPH, FRESH KILL), it didn't take long for their budgets to start growing. By the time the mid-90s came along PM was spenting several million dollars per movie. Sadly for all of us, PM would die in 2000. Luckily for us, however, many of their movies are out on DVD.

Please note that a VHS rip is preferable for anyone who wishes to upload CHANCE. I have it on DVD, but it is heavily censored and since the early PM movies featured a lot of cursing, it kind of kills the film.
