the film is available in the us on vhs,i rented it and dubbed a copy,
mostly because i liked it when i was a kid.it is a slap in the face to
roger, imo.  bad special effects,blah acting,zero character development.
im with ya tho',it is high time for a remake,and kurt russel would be
fine,if he leaves snake pliskin out of it.(the escape from ny character
is intended as a parody of action movie heroes.)
i have always,as long as i can remember,been near-obsessed with
post-apocalyptic themes. yeah,i guess that makes me weird.it also makes
me watch a hell of a lot of BAD movies,which i usually love.   rj
