  (All screen captures are the property of Interstar Pictures) The Exterminator Release Date: September 10, 1980 Written & Directed by James Glickenhaus Producer: Mark Buntzman Starring: Robert Ginty, Christopher George, Steve James, & Samantha Eggar IMDb Rating: 5.7/10 Rotten Tomatoes Rating: Critic – 38%, Audience – 40% Notes: August is the Dog Days of Summer month here at MovieMania. I'm covering movies that Siskel & Ebert once deemed as dogs. The first one is a movie they called a rip-off of Death Wish . They also said it was an example of the descent into gruesome savagery. It's The Exterminator. It stars Robert Ginty ( The Paper Chase and Warrior of the Lost World ) and Steve James ( I'm Gonna Git You Sucka and American Ninja ). It also includes Christopher George ( El Dorado and Midway ) and Samantha Eggar ( The Phantom and The Astronaut's Wife ). James Glickenhaus wrote and directed this movie. He also wrote such great films as McBain .

He also stars in the movie as—Okamura. (Is he playing
