Merchants of Death (1989)
aka
B.O.R.N.
This fun'n'funky little low-budget B-horror medical action item centers on an illegal underground black market human body organ ring which uses kidnapped young people as involuntary donors. P.J. Soles portrays the ruthless ice-cold bitch who runs the evil operation with tremendous lip-smacking venomous panache while the great William Smith lends his always welcome and commanding presence as the head surgeon. Rugged rancher Ross Hagen (who also directed) and his bitter, burnt-out former cop best buddy Hoke Howell hit the streets in search of Hagen's daughter after she gets abducted by crazed flunky Russ Tamblyn (who gives a gloriously gonzo and over-the-top eye-rolling hambone performance). Meanwhile, Clint Howard pops up as a pathetic rapist orderly and his father Rance appears as a corrupt police detective. (IMDB Woodyanders)
