Wow, was this a bad movie!
Some films you have to wonder how they got past the 'pitchin' process.
Plot: Super-dooper scientist/80's musician (Peter Weller-RoboCop) and his gang, The Hong Kong Cavaliers, are attempting to cross through the 8th dimension or something, but meet some aliens that want to release their 'Hitler' for some reason. So it's down to Bonzai and his buds to stop them.
That's the simplest way I can describe this film, given that the editing and the screenplay make little to no sense and quite frankly, you keep checking your watch to see when it'll end. The crap I watch for you people!
Budget: $12,000,000 (it was the post Star Wars 80's)
Gross: $6,227,998
Fun Fact: A sequel and a TV series were touted, thank the heavens they were quickly shelved...but they may still come back! Not a lot of originality in Hollywood these days. Look out for early appearances from John Lithgow, Jeff Goldblum, Ellen Barkin and a pre-Back to the Future, Christopher Lloyd.

Did you work out the plot early and did the ending finish as u suspected?
ReplyDeleteThe plot is kinda inconsequential and yes, it ended just as you'd imagine...except for the credit rolling sequence. Makes no sense.
