397 Codename Vengeance (1987) - CAMVEMBER 2024 Wick, Lee, Vaughn, and Mike discuss an extremely unhinged Cameron Mitchell performance in a movie starring Grindbin legend, Robert Ginty. Directed by David Winters (Rage to Kill, Thrashin') Codename Vengeance is undoubtedly some sort of tax dodge scheme that nobody was actually intended to watch... yet here we are nearly 40 years later discussing it for 3 hours on a theme month dedicated to a man who didn't even know he made this movie.
