Poor Bastards of Cinema: Light Blast (1985)

 A Film so chock full of PBoCs that we get one in the Intro!

In Light Blast, a Scientist has created a laser gun, which he uses to hold a city ransom.

Well, before that happens, this couple meets at an empty Train Station in the late night/early morning.

What else are you going to do in an empty Train Yard?

After all, there's nobody there to give you the Guided Tour until it opens!
The man decides to test out his Light Blaster by shooting the big LCD Clock that all Train Yards have.
It's an '80s thing...I think.

To be clear, he has NO idea that anyone is there.

The after glow turns into a red-hot glow as things heat up for the pair.
For some reason, she melts first.

I guess it is so we can get this glorious reaction face.

I hope that this is his Profile Pic on IMDB.
All things being equal, he melts next.

It is the best (or worst) Peter Gabriel Video of all time!
We see the rest of the Train Yard metal melt around the now gooey couple as the man drives off.

As a reminder, this is NEVER BROUGHT UP in the Film.
The lesson: if you have sex, you'll melt.  That's just Science (applicable only in Florida, Alabama and Mississippi).

Next up, more wrong place, wrong time 'fun' from Light Blast.  Don't get too comfortable in those Bleachers.
