Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. Todd Gaines – ★½
   “Stevie, a kid with a pet goat, is kidnapped by a ruthless gang of mafioso thugs led by Robert Mitchum’s real-life son. All hope seems lost until Turkey, a renegade cop with a short mullet, tight skinny faded stonewashed jeans, and a Members Only Jacket takes the case, in this so bad it’s awesomely awesome bad movie written and directed by the legend that introduced the world to Samurai Cop and Killing American Style, Mr. Amir Shervan. Turkey has a way with words. If you ever need to console someone, enlist Turkey. Why the fuck do you name your hero Turkey? He does resemble William Katt from The Greatest American Hero, but his mullet is less curly. If you’re a fan of Samurai Cop, you should check this one out. It’s not as good, but it’s still a fun time.”

Show how other characters think of the character. For instance, if the character is at an Arby’s, have the nice man behind the counter seem friendly towards our protagonist (i.e. hero). 2. Show how our character interacts with other people. For instance, if the character is at an Arby’s, have him (all real characters should be men, write that down) know the nice man behind the counter’s name on a first name basis (“George,” perhaps). If he orders coffee for…'”
