Poolboy: Drowning Out the Fury
“No Lifeguard on Duty”
ComedyAction
In this unearthed lost movie from 1990 that the studio deemed too terrible to release, a Vietnam Veteran Sal Bando(Sorbo), tortured by his past as a Poolboy returns home to Van Nuys, California, and a country he doesn't recognize, in which it seems only Mexicans run pool-cleaning companies. Bando sets off on a brutal mission to reclaim his "rightful" vocation and enact revenge on the man(Trejo) who killed his wife and son.
VIBE
This is a gloriously unhinged, low-budget action-comedy that feels like a fever dream. Expect over-the-top violence, bizarre dialogue, and a relentless pace. It’s pure grindhouse exploitation, best enjoyed with a group ready to laugh at its sheer audacity.
