"How was I supposed to know? I don't have a
precision mind like yours!" Ruggerro, Zombie
Abomination - IZM

Ruggerro:
A tall and well-built former college football player, Ruggerro not only plays
multiple
roles in the film, but he also built the miniatures and choreographed
his own moves
in the epic fighting scenes featuring the General; wherein he
performs as the
General’s
stunt double.
Reportedly inspired by the Japanese giant rubber monster
movies of the
1960s and 70s, Ruggerro’s massive thrusts and blows often left
Jeremiah, who is
no
physical wimp himself, feeling like he really was fighting for his
life! Ruggerro is also
a master of body control, and can discharge the contents
of
his stomach on cue; a
skill that has not been lost on the Director (this is
Ruggerro’s
forth project for him).

In the film, Ruggerro plays an
off-duty police officer simply trying to enjoy a
little vacation
with his
increasingly manipulative girlfriend Maria.
Unfortunately,
following a run-in with
an obnoxious attendant at a full
service gas station,
Ruggerro’s car breaks down on the
way to the campsite.
While trying to fix the car,
Ruggerro is attacked and bitten by some
kind
of diseased fiend wearing military
fatigues.
He and Maria are able to escape the
fiend by pushing their car down
a
hill to safety, but they are trapped in the woods.
Oddly
enough, the next day they
find the fiend’s decapitated head not far
from their car causing
Maria to deduce
that everything is fine now.
She then coincidentally spots what must be
Doctor
Falluci’s camper very
near by. She assures Ruggerro that
there will be adequate
first aid in Doctor Falluci’s trailer for his bite, and
someone killed the fiend so
he poses
no further threat, so they can begin their
vacation after all!
