Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Charming and brutal

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I got this video off Ebay. It's a long time I've seen it. In this movie, Former 'Chips' star Erik Estrada stars as Ronn Warren, a San Fransisco police Inspector who takes on the case which is more bigger than him. A scientist named Yuri Soboda(Thomas Moore) invents an indestructible death ray and uses it against millions of people unless his ransom is paid.As Warren digs deep in to the case, he encounters thugs, terrorists, a martial arts nurse as he tries to bring down the madman. But soon his wife gets killed in the process as Warren takes matter to his case as a personal vendetta.What I also like about this movie with the music score from Guido and Maurizio De Angelis. Yeah! I remember when I first watched it, I was dancing with a few friends. It was a great laugh..!Mind you, it was one of Enzo G. Castellari's best cop movie. But it's not to say he had to chase Clint Eastwood for the role for Warren.Anyway, I still watch it now and again! Shame these films are very hard to get! If you're lucky to get the film on Ebay, you'll be laughing!Thumbs up for LightBlast!

Things were never quite like this in CHIPS for Erik Estrada who appears in this highly enjoyable action yarn from the ever dependable Enzo G. Castellari.A mad scientist is threatening to blow up the city with his devastating laser cannon unless his ransom demands are met and it's up to our man Ponch- erm, I mean Inspector Ronn to stop him.Some great body melt fx, a number of exciting high speed car chases (with an especially cool one at the climax), plenty of shoot outs and in one scene, a fight in an undertakers with a mad female mortician(!) all combine to make this a fun ride from start to finish. Add to this a cool musical score that backs up all the said action and what more could you ask for in a film? Highly recommended!

A bitchy kung fu nurse raising pain and a bulldozer smashing the bits out of the automobile that Erik ("Ponch") Estrada is stuck in may be the only best parts from LIGHTBLAST. Everything else is pointless all the way through. Cookie-cutter action / car chase elements supersede the flesh-to-bones visuals and a science-fiction theme, making this another in an endless string of "cop versus bad guy" action turkeys! Estrada is terribly miscast here. Enzo Castellari fared much better with the underrated, but gritty cult classic 1990: THE BRONX WARRIORS. A great waste of precious time well spent.

Just another example of Erik Estradas bad acting, this has got to be one of the worst movies I've seen in years. Anti climatic ending and stupid effects.
