Death Ship (1980) Directed by Alvin Rakoff
Summary According to imdb.com: Survivors of a tragic shipping collision are rescued by a mysterious black ship which appears out of the fog. Little do they realize that the ship is actually a Nazi torture ship which has sailed the seas for years, luring unsuspecting sailors aboard and killing them off one by one.

For today's Movie of the Day feature, I picked an old VHS I had on my shelf and never watched. This rainy Sunday afternoon was begging for a shitty horror movie or a George Kennedy movie. Gladly, Death Ship is both.
Instead of some quick 10 reasons, I thought I write stray thoughts of the movie as I am watching it.
Random Thoughts on Death Ship:
- The Old VHS Embassy Home Entertainment logo is oddly comforting.
- Opening credit font should come with an order of Hush Puppies.
- Jack Hill wrote this? little more excited now.
- "Damn the passengers" - George Kennedy
- These people are having a costume party while there could be a Nazi ghost ship near by. Damn the passengers.
- Richard Crenna is sportin' a nice beard. Way to go Crenna.
- I hate when cruises run into Nazi ghost ships. One a similar note, The Disney cruise is also a Nazi ghost ship.
- The lifeboat is a red box with oars. Not sure if its a red box used as a boat or a boat that looks like a red box.
- NO NAZI GHOST SHIP CAN STOP...GEORGE KENNEDY!
- Ahoy, Nazi Ghost Ship. Ahoy.
- This water is sure pretty muddy for the open ocean, like swamp creek dirty.
- The Death Ship is getting oil all over their nice sailor outfits.
- Wow, that's surprising, the first person to die is the Jewish guy. Not cool Nazi Ghost Ship. Not cool.
- Nazi ghosts are trying to get into George Kennedy's mind. No one is safe.
- Little kids love drinking brown water.
- George Kennedy is transforming into a Nazi. He is a WereNazi.
- Crenna and his beard is our only hope now.
- Alvin Rakoff directed such films as...
- I don't think the Nazi Ghost Ship knows this, but WWII is over.
- Nazi Hard Candy.
- Death by Nazi Hard Candy.
- A German Bible. The WereNazi strikes again.
- George Kennedy now dressed as Nazi Captain. The Transformation is complete.
- This little kid always has to pee. Must have bladder problems.
- "I'm scared." "Your scared, I'm scared shirtless." actually line from movie. Greatest line from a movie.
- Blood Shower. Naked Blood Shower.
- Stop freaking out its just blood.
- Stop freaking out its just a pit of dead bodies.
- The WereNazi kills again.
- THE SHIP NEEDS BLOOD. THE SHIP NEEDS BLOOD TO SURVIVE.
- So basically, the Nazi Ghost Ship is a Nazi Vampire Ghost Ship.
- George Kennedy likes the sound of the ship way too much. It must get him off.
- George Kennedy the WereNazi is no more. But not forgotten.
- AHOY. Rescue Copter. Ahoy.
- AHOY AHOY.
Overall entertaining enough bad movie. Recommend for George Kennedy Fans and Nazi Hard Candy Fans.
