LIght Blast (1985 89 minutes)

Any movie that opens with some people getting their faces melted off and then Erik Estrada shows up in his underwear to pull a gun out of a stuffed turkey to blast a bad guy that looks like a mix of David Crosby and Gallagher should be rated pretty high. Estrada's so cool he gets 2 bits of theme music  , one a jaunty bass line for when he's walking and another jazzy number with horns for all of the car chases. It seems some disgruntled scientist created a laser that melts stuff but he needs to point it at an LCD display in order for it to work, so he offs the train yard with the giant digital clock and then the announcer's booth at the stock car races.  The city won't give in to his demand for millions of dollars so Estrada puts on his sleuthing cap to save everyone from horrible face melting death.  Along the way we get a kung fu funeral home worker, multiple acts of violence against volkswagon beetles, a lot of slow motion gunfights, explosions and people on fire and a super car chase with a dune buggy + you can't have a car chase in San Francisco without a bunch of slow motion jumps over those big hills. Most movies are a chore to get through in one sitting, this one's smooth like lemonade.
