Mind Ripper

"Mind Ripper was done in Bulgaria, and all I remember was waiting to get out of there. My bags were packed and I was ready to go home every day. It was horrible. I never even saw the finished film. It was one of those films that pays your alimony."

Fan Review:

MIND RIPPER: he plays a scientist who has developed a virus that repairs and improves the condition of the human body. Of course, a colleague takes the gov't up on an offer to steer the research toward developing a military use for the virus. The research team finds a man half dead in the desert. LH tries his virus on him to save his life and the colleague takes over from there creating a monster. LH's character is also a father of two teenaged children who find out in the battle against the monster for their lives that, yes indeed, too-busy-Daddy does loves them and, surprise, they do love him.
