The Omega Code

What I want to bring to the forefront of this review is one thing and one thang only; MICHAEL IRONSIDE. Not enough people recognize the great contributions to thespians and celluloid that MI has contributed. For any producer MI is like AI; he is "the answer." Yes, any time a movie calls for a menacing, scrupulous, balding asshole MI should be at the top of anyone's speed-dial list (MI and the guy who is on That 70's Show).

MI started out on film playing the role of "drunk" in the 1977 production of Outrageous!. While this is surely a captivating depiction of a down on his luck manic-depressive joe, he quickly rose to bigger and better thing with his 1978 role as 'butch' in High-Ballin and 'pimp' in the following year's Summer's Children. Most people recognize him for his portrayal of Shwartzenegger's nemesis Richter in Total Recall, but most people are dicks.
With all of that said, MI, Mr. Ironside, I salute you.

Thanks IMDB!
