John P Ryan was damn good at playing villans that were truly brutal and ruthless in all facets of who they were.

The guy frequently seemed to have a sht-eating "I just came in my pants" grin on his face even when angry.

Captain Bob, you forgot about Avenging Force and Class of 1999, Ryan was great in those two films.

I had only known him through his superlative work as the father/rights activist of the first two It's Alive films. A truly wonderful job--but he sure aged a lot since It Lives Again.

Avenging Force he was epic quite frankly.

The end fight with Dudikoff was so good. As because Ryan was a 70 year old doing a high impact martial arts man-o-mano fight with Dudikoff. They got an obvious stunt double to do it all.

So to try to make it believable they got John P Ryan to do the most hilarious screams and crazyness for the fight.
