the most entertaininly terrible acting i have ever seen ,lies in the movie"PSYCHO FROM TEXAS"a.k.a."wheeler"..it was released by Paragon  productions back in the mid-eighties..it was filmed in 76 according to the El Dorado,Arkansas chamber of commerce!! i e-mailed them after finally figuring out where it was filmed(by reading the name of the drug store barely noticeable in one scene)..they told me that they remembered the filming of the movie and that there were a bunch of locals used as actors!!! and as far as they could remember , noone got paid!!!! hilarious,,,,,if you ever find this movie(horror)rent it !!! it  will forever change you..i promise!!!

I thought this was really good. It's a bit sick in parts though, the bit where Weeler gets Linnea Quigley to strip to the guy he's just killed.

It's released  as 'The Butcher' in the UK, sadly it's now deleted.

what pure greatness this movie is.!thank you for throwing your 2cents in..

'Yesterday was a long time ago'  has to be one of the cheesiest  songs i've heard on a soundtrack. It seems to it was the only song they had when they made this movie,it's played in almost every scene.

I prefered it over Reservoir Dogs (I saw them back to back,) it's a film everyone should trackdown at some point.

yeah the soundtrack was pretty repetitive.."yesterday,was a long time ago,yesterday he did not understand,now he's messed up his mind on dope and ski wine,he dreamed of tomorrow and wheeler knew,,,peace,,for a little while,,,yesterday,was a long time ago" remember the character "mr.phillips"?the retired oil man..he was the worst actor ever to grace film(which makes him the best on my list)..

I'm gonna have to dig out my copy a watch it again. I'll dig up some stuff on it and do a review for Scott Davis' site Late Nite Theater :
