Plus, Cynthia Rhodes and Kirstie Alley when she was hot and you have a winner in my book. Kept waiting for a voiceover from Selleck ala Magnum PI too in some parts lol.

He looks terrific in the part - I'll certainly give him that...I knew that Gene tried his hand at acting in the 80's and I've seen a horror film with him as a DJ who gives a kid a record that turns out the be possessed (or something to that effect, at least). He was pretty good! I'll definitely have to check this one out.
