You see them on the street. You watch them on TV. You might even vote for one this fall. You think they're people just like you. You're wrong......Dead wrong. Just found this class site dedicated to my fave sci-fi film of the eighties. (And it's very eighties.) My favourite part is when Rowdy Roddy Piper calls the old woman "Formaldahide face". Includes a sample of Bill Hicks talking about the movie. |

Okay, now its just a matter of time before hollywood does a remake with Steven Segal and some various rapper. |

I'd also like to say that Meg Foster has freak eyes... |

It's funny how David Icke based his religion on it. It's as if he's not capable of understanding that humans can fuck everything up by themselves perfectly well on their own. |

Not as cool as Jake the Snake, although he is now on crack. |

Jack Burton, where is he now? |

Best fight scene ever!!! first half of the film is amazing, the second half is a real cheesefest. Like some chuck norris flick. |

compare and contrast.. |

Got this on DVD with interesting special features - they talk about how they really wanted to film the most realistic fight scene that they could - ironic considering how fake wrasslin' looks, but they did a commendable job. funny audio commentary with piper and carpenter, also. |

On a hardly related note I bought reservoir dogs and thought it was pretty good. and I saw evil dead 2 for the first time: a+ dawn of the dead was weird cheese + cool The following movies were anything but good though: lethal weapon 3 senseless i still know what you did last summer |

Great film. Evil Lynn is hot. Roddy laughs a lot. JC's last great movie. Bill_Hicks fucked the dvd, he told me. |

either put on these sunglasses, or start eatin' that trashcan. |

i agree with the billster... the fight scene is unreal.. goes on for ages "try on the friggin glasses... *smack" Autechre played it as one of their chosen movies on autechre -tv at ATP03 and it was perfectly timed with us lot being off our chops on some quality grass. |

There are the two sides of eighties American pop culture in this movie: The blue collar, Bruce Springsteen/ John Cougar Mellancamp, downtrodden "I still believe in America, man" guys, and Huey Lewis/Reganite, rich fuck, corporate raider yuppie aliens. Both stereotypes are hilariously played out during the film like the way the aliens use Rolex watches to transport themselves and the good guys all wear plaid shirts and blue jeans. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
that's bullshit. have you actually seen the film? The film all goes pearshaped once the aliens start using those teleportation watches. Up till then it seemed quite plausible. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I couldn't give a shit whether it's plausible. It's a satire (a pretty basic one at that) it doesn't have to be realistic. It's funny and entertaining. |
||||||||

|
it just goes all a bit too "star trek" for my liking. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haven't you seen the ending? Fucking hilarious! I always imagine after all the humans wise up, the aliens just flee the planet and nuke us. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
exactly. A bit "star trek". geek |

on a similar vein, i saw "Soylent Green" the other night. Man that "furniture" charlotn heston gets with is HOT! great little movie |
||||||||

|
the music in that picture is good - strange blend of some semi-symphonic stuff with electronics. I still have to get the soundtrack - Film Score Monthly released it quite recently, together with the even weirder soundtrack of "Demon Seed" on one cd. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
reviving the thread to say that Soylent Green is awesome. Heston is a complete ass throughout most of the movie and it's brilliant. the furniture is quite snazzy as well. |
