Mr. No Legs (1979)

Seems like a promising concept. A bad guy with no legs killing folks with shotguns that eject from the arm rests of his wheelchair. Sounds like quality 'grindhouse' trash in every sense. Problem is - there's too many goddamn people with LEGS and not enough of the opposite...

A guy who is mixed up in a drug ring accidentally kills his girlfriend so Mr. No Legs and an accomplice kill HIM and dispose of them both. The girlfriend's brother, who happens to be a cop, wants to find out who killed his sister and ends up having to deal with No Legs...

There's a few decent things to point out in this one, I guess. We get a bar room fight sparked by racial tension among two women that involves a tranny and a black midget cheering them on, a legless man doing push-ups in his wheelchair, and a few poorly choreographed fight scenes - one of which includes a sword. Overall, however, "Mr. No Legs" is not as cool as the title makes it sounds, but hardcore fans of oddball 'grindhouse' shit may want to check it out since you'll never see another movie quite like it.
