Twisted Justice (1990)
Nomination Year: 2006
SYNOPSIS: James Tucker (David Heavener) is a psychiatric officer on the police force. He's also a psychotic officer on the police force. He wears the same pair of long underwear for days at a time. He sleeps in the bathtub. And he has a gun.
It's the future. Guns are now illegal. The cops are armed with tranquilizer-dart-shooting "stingers," which are typically good enough to take a criminal down with a single shot. But criminals are showing up on the street now, hopped up on a drug which counteracts the stingers. And someone is killing blonde upper-class women. Could there be a connection?
This film was not only written and directed by its star, he also produced it and scored the music.

Weirdly sorta-famous, he is rhe younger son of
vaudeville great Clarence Stroud (of the Stroud Twins)
and singer Ann McCormack, who toured the world with
Frank Sinatra. He grew up on Waikiki Beach under the
watchful eyes of such mentors as Blackout, Mud,
Buckshot, Rabbit and Steamboat. Which explains a lot.
