You know you're in for a treat when we were considering starting this description, "When an Estonian cyborg defects to America..."

This Estonian cyborg, as you've come to expect from Estonian cyborgs by this point in time, is the ultimate killing machine. Played by The Actor You Get When Reb Brown is Making Something Even Crappier, he possesses the devastating ability to shoot lasers out of his eyes! For this reason he is called LaserEyes. Er, The Blinkinator. Maybe Cyclops from X-Men. No, it was Firehead! He's called Firehead, since he can shoot fire lasers from his head eyes.

Who's the most suitable man to track down Firehead and ensure that he doesn't go on a rampage? Did you say Chris Lemmon, son of screen legend Jack? Of course you didn't. Did you know he existed? Well, have you ever seen someone really commit themselves to a terrible Jack Lemmon impression? Right, of course you haven't. But take our word for it, Chris makes a strong case that the true villain of this movie is Hollywood Nepotism.

Actually, the real villain is a shadowy organization known as The Upper Order, which plots the beginning of World War III from a rented conference room at the airport Ramada. They are led by another legend, Oscar winner Christopher Plummer, who was having so much fun that he brought along fellow Oscar winner Martin Landau. Rumor has it they almost convinced Orson Welles to come along too, but he wanted to spend his twilight years pursuing dignified, artistHAHA! We almost made it through that sentence!

Join Mike, Kevin and Bill, all Estonian defectors themselves, as they riff LaserEy Firehead!

Okay, I usually have at least heard of these movies...........but never heard of this one.

But it is downloading now and will be watched on DVD tomorrow with the Jesse James iRiff.  Better pack up my fire cooled beer.

I can't pass on Mike and the Guys riffing on the movie, I don't care what it is. I went through "The Apple" and "Dr. Who" I think this one will be cakewalk.

Buying it now.

Woo-hoo! They took my suggestion!   (maybe)

Oh, it's all about YOU, isn't it.... good job, btw.

I'm actually really liking this one alot. Kevin's prolonged song is excellent. I keep waiting for a Bim's On The Way joke with these triangle stickers, there are 21 minutes left.

Considering they had already riffed Future Force and Future Zone, which are on the same 4-DVD boxed set as Firehead, it probably wasn't me.

But I'll take credit anyway!

That was fun. Who knew that members of the highest levels of government used basements, storage lockers and municipal hallways as their bases of operations.

FINALLY, a use for my 8 of Chris Lemmon card.

Interesting choice.  Did you guys perchance acquire a copy of this DVD in the past year?

An early 90's action-er? Not my favorite genre, but I'll bite.

I always bite.

I doubt there will ever be a VOD I won't pick up - I love em!

"What's the name of that movie you saw, Paul?" "Firehead, Dave." "Fi-Yur-Hed. I see." "Firehead." "Yes."

I'll pick this up this weekend. Three days off, BOO-YAH!! I might pick up the new Iriffs, too. What the hell, BUY ALL THE RIFFS!!!

It's a very MST3K-style selection, like even more so than a lot of what we've been seeing lately. But that's not a bad thing. I could very easily see this movie being chosen during the Sci-Fi years. It's got that strange, early 90s/late 80s, FutureWar vibe to it. ...without the dinosaurs, of course.
