Never Heard of this One



I picked up the vinyl soundtrack for this in a resale shop yesterday and I see there isn’t even one to be found on EBay and Prices on Discogs are sky high. I’ve never even heard of this movie before and Charlie Sheens in it. Anyone like this movie?

i like it. seems like the ideas in the film could be expanded upon. it's a nice slice of the 80s. something depressing about the world in the film. it is also called replicante in some countries.

I saw it and liked it. If you like cars, you’re going to love the Wraith car. Also features an in her prime, Sherilyn Fenn. To me, some of the funniest parts of the movie (Though it isn’t a comedy) are the exchanges between Skank and Gutterboy.

It was cool seeing Clint Howard in this. I kept thinking of Coopersmith from Evilspeak.

Better than average, not great.

Very 1980's.

Just finished it. Really 80’s! 👍

It's a bit like a modern version of High Plains Drifter

I didn’t think about it while watching the movie but now that you mention it, I see the similarities.

reply

A bit of The Crow, too. Actually, the other way around.

I've seen it but can't really remember much about it. But I remember liking it.

It’s got a great cast, lots of hot rods and it’s seriously mid 80’s campy. If you can hang with that, it’s worth a rewatch.

reply

Yeah I will rewatch it again one of these days. I watched body melt last night.

reply

Awesome film , partly because of the soundtrack.
congrats!
