At the beginning of this movie, the notorious masked killer of Death Park (Ken Brewer) is finally dead - just apparently not dead enough, as when his sledgehammer-wielding accomplice (Robert Allen Mukes) breaks into the morgue to put his trademark mask on his face, he gets up like from a light sleep and kills everybody in his way to make it back to Death Park to do some more killing. Before long, a $50,00o bounty is put on his head, which attracts bounty hunters from all over the country to hunt the killer (or rather killers) down. However, none of the bounty hunters are too bright and/or all are to greedy to systematically hunt the killer down, instead they swarm out in groups of twos and threes, all with their own plans on how to lure out the killers. Thing is, the killer doesn't need much luring, he just appears like a force of nature cutting down his opponents relentlessly.  And since he has been dead already, it's hard to make him, erm, deader ...

Now Return to Death Park isn't the most accomplished movie, it was obviously made on a modest budget, so the film is a little underwhelming on the purely technical side of things. However, this is a film where the love of the filmmakers for the genre clearly shines through, as it's at times violent as can be, but also their humour when treating genre tropes that often make little sense in themselves. Also, the film is populated by a welcomely colourful cast of characters, and the cast clearly has fun portraying them, so prepare yourself for a maybe not perfect but nevertheless wildly entertaining genre ride.
