Plot
"This film is set in 1970s Hollywood, California. This film follows two primary characters, Elijah Starr and Blaze Jones, played by Shaw and Thompson. These two characters are Hollywood Private investigators who attempt to help a newly arrived actress from Hong Kong who is being tracked down by a cult of Vampires." [5] [6]
"Vampire Blvd. is like pore without sex scenes, skit without comedy, action-horror with neither." "A mad scientist has created bondage-clad vampires, an Asian babe thinks she being stalked by vampires, a black and white face painted ninja gal writhes in a fast food restaurant, wiggled skate freaks zoom through a canal, Joe Estevez sings and lights a candle, a robot Robert Z'Dar beats his female robot equivalent, Shaw fights invisible bat things in an effect sequence that might have been created with a dot matrix printer, and porn star Jilly Kelly wriggles on a toilet." [7]
