Geez, that does look nicer than my steelbook. Oh well, still totally happy with my purchase.

This was added to Netflix today.

Why So Blu?

I just watched this on Netflix and it was a blast and I'm not even drunk! Man, I was chuckling through the fake intro of the laserdisc promotional credit. The synth/new wave soundtrack was great and I loved the gore - it reminded me of the Kill Bill type gore. Man, Apple was pretty cute! I can't believe the actress that played her is 30!

If that deluxe set gets offered on Amazon I will scoop it up but I still won't pay 30$ shipped for it. I wonder if Mondo will release the soundtrack on vinyl?

VHS?

The movie is awesome but the soundtrack is great! So good it turned me on to Le Matos.

Something new to add to my Netflix list.

Quack

Just watched it yesterday and loved it, would be down with a sequel.

I was was looking for some sci-fi on Netflix with high ratings to watch that I hadn't seen and this one was pretty much it. Boy I was surprised.

It was much better than I thought it was going to be. Heh. Great stuff.

Jesus christ... this was incredible. Just glorious.

Solid Snake

I'd fuck the living hell out of Apple. She was that right kind of crazy cuckoo fuck you want.

The movie was awesome too.

I'd be even more inclined if she had her red hair.

Watched this again yesterday. I think I enjoyed it even more than my first viewing.

If the filmmakers did a sequel, I wish there was a way for them to

Fuck yea!

Spiderbite

Awesome. I loved this movie.

Solid Snake

LOVED TK. I'm game for another. Sure... I don't want one but if it it even has an ounce of what the first one had... that's refreshing all the same.

Apple was hot as hell. I love crazy bitches.

VHS?

If she is back, I hope they find the original wig. The one in that 'prequel' is horrible.

So, I've been wanting to buy this for a while, but couldn't justify the price tag on Amazon. Currently there is a sale on the "2 Year Anniversary Edition" from Epic Pictures: https://epic-pictures.com/merchandis...imited-edition

Each box includes a T-shirt, the 3-Disc Ultra Turbo Charged Collector's Edition DVD/Bluray set, a mini poster and one of three enamel pins.

Total shipped is $38.49. Just buying it by itself on Amazon is about the same price.

Turbo Kid 2 has turned into the Turbo Kid 2 Year Anniversary set? I'll believe a second movie is coming when it is in my bd player.

dex14

No? The set came out last year and is currently just on sale.

But, unfortunately, there hasn't been any news on the sequel front since the initial announcement.

In the meantime, the new film by makers of Turbo Kid, the nostalgia-soaked kids-hunt-a-bad-guy thriller SUMMER OF '84, has been getting some reasonably ok reviews, although so many of them go so such great lengths to rave about the film's dark climax that they seemingly give it away.

Thanks for the warning. Will skip trailer. But will watch.

I finally saw this movie.
Even though this film was made for my generation, I thought it looked a little too silly, like Kung Fury. I like my 80s nostalgia to be a little more serious like Stranger Things or This is England.

To my surprise, while the premise is purposely silly, it's played straight. I loved the whole film. The post-apocalyptic world of 1997, with all the 80s left overs of civilization was very detailed.
I liked the the little surprises, and there was just enough mystery in the beginning to keep me hooked as to where the story was going.
I regret not getting this on VHS.

Bumblebee was a letdown, while this was a very pleasant surprise.
I'm going to check out Summer of '84 next.

I need to rewatch this. Loved it

Spiderbite

I was always sad the same people didn't do a sequel to TK. Such a great movie, especially if you grew up renting films like this in the late 80's.

And I adore the score.
