Light the torch, hit the track\u2026 Olympics fever has arrived at Kill By Kill!! And what better way to celebrate the gold standard in human achievement happening in Paris than to review one of the dumbest and repetitive slashers we\u2019ve ever encountered from the good old USA - 1984\u2019s FATAL GAMES!! We\u2019re training to reach the top by discussing how this movie fails at almost every turn: bland characters, dingy settings, partially clothed showers, sinks full of dirty dishes, completely unclothed chase sequences, Oscar-winning performers, performance-enhancing drugs that decrease everyone\u2019s onscreen performance, and that\u2019s before we get to the prerequisite lockers full of corpses!! All this, plus a surprising connection to Body Double, the return of The Breather, and for the first, and hopefully only time, we have a primarily javelin-based edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! This episode won't make the podium, but this episode might!
