Just downloaded and watched this again, saw it years ago on vhs. I still think its a good film staring Rutger Hauer. Its a sort of sci-fi/horror film set in a flooded London in the future.
I've been searching for it on R2 DVD, not sure whether it's had a R2 DVD release though. I have seen a R1 DVD version on Amazon.....but for a friggin $99.99 to $159.99 :eek: and somewhere else for $20 lol
check it out http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105459/

ok shanks ... i hate to do this .. but..
You must be off your nut :)
Rutger is one of my all time faves but this movie was trash !
I have the laserdisc so if you get a region free player i can burn you a copy ..
The film made no sense .. A serial killer satanic mutant ?
And Rutger was just playing a parody of himself ..
It did have whatsername ... Kim Cattral in a shower scene so its work keeping the laser :)
the british lackey sidekick guy was ok.
I'll will say though - that because the look and feel of a UK film is a refreshing change from a US release, even a bad horror film is slightly more entertaining.

Holy shit....I haven't thought of this movie in years. From what I remember it didn't suck....and I do love RH. Will have to keep an eye out for this one.

I have good memories of this movie. I dont particularly find Kim attractive ( i like fuller, bustier women... Like my wife :D), i the first time i learned to truly love getting boozed up was watchiung this movie. Zima (uck), Butterscotch schnapps and Somberoes.... :D

I'll give you that .. bad but fun.
Rutger really chewed the scenery in that one .. the tough guy cop ...
I just couldnt grasp the concept on where/what/why the killer was.

Drink heavily and watch it, that is my prescription. Clears up all the finer points, because you arent capable of noticing there arent any :)

Hard enough staying awake past 9:00pm as it is without the booze :)
