One character is a technician called "Pinky" who has a cybernetic wheelchair thanks to a bad teleporting accident. Pinky later mutates into something remotely resembling a creature from Doom 3.
Well at least they know how to make a good comedy.

Just watched it, thanks to a recommendation seen in this thread :) WOW, it was *DAMN GOOD*. A first movie in quite a while that has managed to bring a tear to my eye. I am a fan of the genre, but this once really excels in many areas. The fights/jumps/etc aren't as over the top as in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Nice enviroments and camerawork and boy does Hollywood have a thing or two to learn from the Chinese about shooting passionate kisses.

saw this at a friends last night and didnt even make it the whole way through. Way too many effects and someone was on acid while shooting the action scenes. The strobe lighting and relentless chopping made it hard to tell what the fuck was going on.
Production design stuff was pretyy good though, even though it was ripped straight from Dune or Coriolis Storm.

on what criteria?
 Good List
#952 posted by HeadThump on 2004/12/10 20:31:27
I would substitute Fast Times for Back to the Future, Terminator for Aliens, and Empire of the Sun for Raiders of the Lost Ark.
And no Porkies, Police Academy, Revenge of the Nerds or movies with Ron Jeremy in them? How representative of the 80's could it really be?

Raiders of the Lost ark cant be substituted in my books :)
There were others that could have snuck on to that list too : Platoon, IJ & the Last Crusade, The King of Comedy, This is Spinal Tap, and Blue Velvet.
 Yeap.

It would be impossible to take it off the list, but I have always considered EOS his most underrated film (but then I am a JG Ballard fan too).
I notice we haven't even touched on the great schlock horror flicks of that time; Amityville, NightMare on Elm Street, etc.
PS. when I was a kid, I got to mess around the Blue Velvet set because it was being made locally. The ear prop was really cool to touch.

 That Was An Amazing Performance

he gave. He nailed that character dead on with that jive talk that was sort of Jazzy and Honky Tonk at the same time.

The #5 slot on my list was Short Circuit 1 or 2, either one. BTW, it's based on simple zaniness, not actual quality. Just good simple mindless fun!

just finished watching this and although it has some nice bits, it didnt really work for me. In the Mood For Love was a much superior film.
The heavy stylish touches on display here severely distract from the actual film and on the whole this actually seems like a lot of random footage was shot and then spliced together to make a movie.
