IIRC, Laughlin said at one point during one of his "reviews" that if you could find several movies that go against his "nine indispensable ingredients" theory, his theory would be dead in the water.

Tom Laughlin, meet Stanley Kubrick.

So... uh... how does The Touch of Satan square with Laughlin's eight rules to live by?

Pardon me while I pause out of spite.

Just how does "credibility" apply to any Tom Laughlin production?
