I guess the sequel to this is Witch Hunt, which I loved, and saw BEFORE Cast a Deadly Spell.

It doesn't much matter only instead of the guy Dennis Hopper, you got Fred Ward, who is probably known to everyone as either "That guy from the Right Stuff" or "Remo Williams."

And I grew up in a life surrounded by pulp trash novels. Westerns, mysteries, just dime novels that most people don't proudly display on a book shelf, but were more or less everywhere in my childhood home. There was always one laying around to pick up and devour.

So when Cast A Deadly Spell and Witch Hunt hit my radar, they became insta-classics. Sam Spade set in a world of magic. Hard Boiled Detective trash novels meets HP Lovecraft horror trash novels... the perfect merging.

Pure pulp entertainment.

And ultimately chock full of references to both genres that only a family that loves it's trash can really appreciate.

I'm kind of upset there wasn't a third film.
