Mr. No Legs	comment	Mr. No Legs (also known as The Amazing Mr. No Legs and Gun Fighter) is a 1978 American action exploitation film directed by Ricou Browning and written by Jack Cowden.Chuck (Richard Jaeckel) and Andy (Ron Slinker) are two cops fighting to stop Florida drug kingpin D'Angelo (Lloyd Bochner) and his enforcer Mr. No Legs (Ted Vollrath), named that way because he's a double leg amputee who is armed with two shotguns built into his wheelchair armrests.Much of the attention the movie gets is because of its casting of an actual double leg amputee as the title character: Ted Vollrath, a war veteran who lost his legs during the war, and went on to become a black-belt karate champion despite his disability.

Mr. No Legs / int_292d57cd	comment	Crusading Widow: More like "Crusading Brother", but the effect is still the same; Andy is especially motivated to bring down D'Angelo's operation after one of his drug dealers kills his sister.

Mr. No Legs / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
Mr. No Legs / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The titular Mr. No Legs actually proves to be a quite effective mob enforcer for a double-leg amputee,note helped probably by his actor being a martial arts expert, but even he eventually ends up in front of a logical disadvantage: When faced by Hathaway brandishing a gun, and with Mr. No Legs having run out of ammo from his tricked-out wheelchair's concealed weapons, Mr. No Legs is completely helpless and ends up gunned down full of lead.

Detectives Chuck and Andy are only refered to by those names, which are at least implied to be nicknames. This is a bit strange considering that, being police detectives and all, one would think they'd be refered at some point by more formal names, but nope.
