Matthew A. Handal

A disc jockey, a pimp and an Italian tourist escape from jail in New Orleans.

All hell breaks loose when a giant grizzly, reacting to the slaughter of her cubs by poachers, attacks a massive rock concert in the National Park. [This sequel to "Grizzly" (1976) was left unfinished after production wrapped prematurely in 1983, and was not officially released until 2020, though a bootleg workprint version had been in circulation for some years prior to this.]

This retelling of Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist may be populated by drug pushers, pimps and prostitutes, but the book's classic themes remain the same. Caught under the thumb of a lecherous brothel owner, 10-year-old Lee befriends an aspiring musician named Angel who helps him escape his servitude and sends a maternal drag queen to vanquish the boy's enemies.

"Nothing Will Be the Same Again" is an urban "Stand By Me" crossed with the Little Rascals. Eleven-year-old Marty and Miguel are best friends in 1964 Brooklyn. When Miguel is killed, Marty is forced to grow up.
