Two actor performances in the style of a scene out of a movie.
When a dingo scavenger comes across a wrecked truck in the middle of the outback, he finds an incredible rifle in the cab with a pair of dead kangaroos. But then he finds more than he bargained for as the sole survivor of the crash turns out to be an armadillo gagged and tied up in the back, opening up a mystery for the desert dog.
Sam and Murphy were in the perfect position to ambush Big Harry, the leader of the kangaroo gang chasing them. It would have been an easy shot for Sam using Shellback, his trusty rifle. But he didn't take the shot. When Murphy confronts him about it, Sam is forced to reveal something more about himself and his relationship with the kangaroos. But he finally airs out his suspicions about Murphy from the start.
It's supposed to be one of the easiest jobs imaginable for an introvert like Mohammed Wing. It takes years to fly a ship all the way out to Uranus and back, the only place in the solar system that goes as long without any sunlight for so long. It should be just ten years on a state-of-the-art ship playing videogames, eating good food, and letting the computers do the work. Unless a surprise happens, like an alien lifeform arrives.
Partially contractual obligations but mostly on rabbit android Warren's insistence, Mo is pressed into donning his spacesuit and exploring the recently discovered floating remains of an apparently alien starship. Even though scans indicate the ship is abandoned, the beaver is reluctant to be the first Earthling to set foot on an alien vessel. But even if he'd rather hide behind the planet's shadow and forget this discovery, he finds himself fulfilling his contract and exploring the ship.
In a bizarre legal case, Enoch's minor infraction activated an undiscovered city law that required his castration. And with elections coming up, the incumbent city attorney sticks to his policy of unquestioned obedience to the law. But when a friendly doctor freezes the tissue and assures he can reattach it, Enoch begins a quest to find a loophole forcing the judicial system to give him back what's rightfully his--his balls.
As punishment for his jaywalking, as prescribed by city law, Enoch has been sent to hospital for mandatory castration. When he wakes up from the general anaesthetic, he meets the doctor who performed the procedure and learns that he may have a slim chance at getting back what's rightfully his.
It is the year 1991, and the villainous, blood-thirsty sadist Tony Caulfield, who pursued our heroes across the globe in the first volume, is only eleven years old, and not a monster. Not yet. Four stories, where psychological horror butts heads with raucous comedy and savage erotica, four stories that unearth the grotesque roots of the mystery that is Maranatha.
Once when Tony was reading his books on the top ledge of the barn, he found Puck, his family's groundskeeper, with a male prostitute. Instead of turning the doberman in, Puck convinced the young cougar to accept a promise of a future favour. Tony's father Troy has become an angry, violent drunk ever since losing his career, and when one night he beats his wife and child for trying to escape into the night, young Tony finally knows what he wants from the the secret-harboring groundskeeper.
Raymond is a hitrat for the infamous Rodini crime family out of New York. But when his brother conspires to get rid of the don, the loyal Raymond is the first to go. Lacking the heart to kill him, his brother shoves Raymond down an unused pipe in the sewer system, getting rid of him. But when Raymond wakes up, he finds himself someplace very far from New York, where his streetwise style clashes with the saccharine locals.
In order to get back to New York, the wise Mr. Owl has told Raymond he needs stones from the deepest caves. He gives Raymond a wand to protect himself, only when the rat shows up and faces a hideous monster guarding the cave entrance, he can't get the wand to do anything. Barely escaping with his life, the rat barges into Mr. Owl's tree, demanding an explanation.
Cheap props, flashy effects, dance routines, and a swiss cheese storyline, all combined with plenty of eye candy and cliché humor in the hopes of becoming the next cult classic.
In this scene, Captain Striker has been captured by the evil Galactic Enclave and is about to be presented with his torture by his nemesis Dengor, Qi-Rao of the Supreme Order.
