“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

Drug Runners (1988)
Not even available on VHS, this has been available on YouTube. Aldo Ray stars as a Mexican drug kingpin - and that right there will decide whether you want to see the film or not. An undercover agent is sent to stop Ray's organization's selling drugs while at the same time romancing a woman sent undercover to stop his gun running. The film is just endless shootouts, where nothing gets hit unless the script calls for it. It's very predictable, the acting is sometimes over-the-top, lines get flubbed (apparently budget and time didn't allow reshoots) and the film's sets seem stagey.
