Love the Golan/Globus Cannon Films feel it has.

Needed more from Barbarianna but otherwise I loved it. I was surprised it wasn't feature length.

Solid Snake

Jesus. This is amazing.

EDIT: They changed the actress for Katana. I thought the gal in the trailer looked better than the one they ended up with.

Troy Stiffler

Turned out really good. Thanks for posting.

RocShemp

Good catch. I thought something was off but I was too mesmerized with Barbarianna.



I want a spinoff movie starring Barbarianna as she fights laser raptors!

Solid Snake

Do you just have a setting in your search for big images?

Didn't look at any of the trailers, so I was expecting more of a Samurai Cop vibe. But this was still fun.

I thought Canadians only did this kinda stuff (Hobo/Shotgun,Manborg,Father's Day) so I was real surprised to find out that this is Swedish.

And seeing "VCR-Tracking" moments in action films is much cooler than "VCR-Tracking" moments in horror films.

You should Spoiler Tag that image just because it's so large that it's messing up people's browsers.

I hope they release this on DVD and VHS. I don't know how long this 80s nostalgia vibe is going to last but I'm enjoying it. When I get time I'm going to get this soundtrack for this movie. Besides Hasselhoff it features Mitch Murder, Betamaxx and others.

This was awesome, I could hang with a full-length feature.The 30 mins breezed by. Bring on the sequel !

6 minutes in, the police chief mentions Viagra.

Viagra didn't exist in 1985. Suspension of disbelief has now been ruined.

(And I was so into the movie before that.)

RocShemp

Done.

I hope for a long time to come. Because 90s Nostalgia just doesn't sound as much fun--the 90s are too much like now.

I enjoyed it. Some good laughs. I don't think a feature length movie would've worked though, even at 30 minutes, I felt it started to run out of steam at the end.

dugan

It's also on Steam.

So... people are stoked on this? Like, legitimately and not ironically?

It's terrible. Terrible in the same way HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN or the MACHETE series is; filmmakers who missed that the '80s films they're cribbing from weren't done with tongue jammed into cheek. Stop trying so hard to wedge your nostalgic memories into every frame. The only people doing these throwback movies right are the others who shoot them straight, not as a laughably bad pastiche.

The House of the Devil was excellent. Tron: Legacy felt like a love letter to the 1980s...I'm trying to think what other movies...Drive was influenced by 80s films and the soundtrack kind of reflected that too.

There's a lot of music out there heavily inspired by the synth-sound of that era, and tons of throwback music like Lazerhawk, Mitch Murder, Glass Candy, Chromatics, etc.

At first I felt the same way. I wouldn't mind something done closer to the tone of Black Dynamite where the era is only slightly exaggerated. Here though, it's like they're purposely throwing everything including the kitchen sink. The visuals though are really nostalgic though. The transforming arcade machine felt more like Transformers than the Michael Bay films did. The music video was pure parody but it reminded me of why I liked that era and style. It's a parody so they're just having fun with it, kind of like Ninja: The Mission Force.
Thinking about the cliches of 80s films, in particular action films, I wonder if Last Action Hero would have been better received if it had been set in the 1980s.

What modern 80s styled movies are done right in your opinion?

VHS?

Just watched it. Enjoyed it. Would like to watch stoned but I'm too old for that shit anymore. I'd pass out at the 5min mark

grundle

Wow - that was so much fun! I enjoyed it immensely.

For the price of one horrible Hollywood blockbuster, they can make dozens of superior films such as this.

Solid Snake

Holy fuck.

I agree on Black Dynamite, although the second half veers too far into parody territory.

House of the Devil is a great example. Almost Human is another.

Really, there aren't many because most of the films that set out to emulate an '80s production style and aesthetic often do so with the mindset of guys like Rodriguez, who seem to forget what made those films so fun to begin with.

RocShemp

I have no idea who the fuck that is. Some new SNL cast member?
