It's on THIS right now!

I decided to take a chance and watch it considering it has amazing credits. I'm curious to see all of these people come together~for example, Huntz Hall & Troy Donahue! (That's just one credit "page".) Add Martin Landau, Jeffrey Combs and first-in-credits Heather Thomas, and this has the makings of a cultish work. THIS just keeps coming up with surprises. Earlier this evening, I watched "The Car", which I hadn't seen since the late Seventies, followed by "Earthquake", and now "Cyclone". THIS beat out MeTV this evening.

I'm in the same boat. Heather Thomas, Jeffrey Combs, Fred Olen Ray. 3 AM. Should be asleep but gotta watch.

I'm enjoying it so far. How young Jeffrey Combs looks! And, he didn't have to be as mad scientisty as usual. I'm looking forward to seeing if I'll even recognize some people though I had no problem with Huntz. Will I know Eighties Troy Donahue? Hmmm...

yeah...it's on, but it sucks. painful, and no hope of any nudity

Nudity on network TV?! Definitely not thank goodness! If gauging a movie comes down to gratuitous scenes, that's really sad.

I don't recall this one being on HBO or Showtime, so it's a completely new one for me. When watching something vintage, the viewer needs to recall the time period it's in. I'd like to see more obscure Eighties movies show up.

There are approximately three seconds of nudity in the film. A couple of women are in the showers in the background. You hardly have enough time to hit the pause button to catch it.

If that's what you're looking for in this movie, you might want to skip on over to something else.

THIS just recently started airing where I am. So far I'm enjoying it. This movie, however. I don't know...

2 extra hours of sleep would have been a better idea. What a mess of a movie!

Yeah I didn't bother sticking around very long.

I agree. Not a horrible movie but it was a mess. The good things...Combs was great as he always is and Heather Thomas was wonderful and beautiful as well

Watching this on MGM HD nudity in this
Good 80's fun
