Wiki.
China Lake is a 1983 psychological thriller film starring Charles Napier as a deranged police officer who rides around on a motorbike "targeting" people that have offended him in some way while vacationing near the film's titular location of China Lake.
The short film was directed by Robert Harmon, who funded this movie personally to promote himself as a director.
In 1990, the film was made into a feature-length made-for-TV movie titled The China Lake Murders, which is considered to be a remake of this film rather than an actual sequel.
