A postscript: I think I picked up this disc during a Kino Lorber sale with an eye toward someday writing about it as part of my Dissolve column The Laser Age. Should I continue that project in some form here? I've thought about just picking up where I left off (a la Scott with New Cult Canon). I've also wondered if it would work if I restarted it as a podcast, though I'm not sure I have the skills or bandwidth for that. Hmm... Any input would be appreciated.
Watched this a lot on cable as a kid, and caught it again just before lockdown on a nice 35mm as part of the Brooklyn Nitehawk's Deuce series. The series usually features a film released at a 42nd St cinema. Since it didn't play theaters, they cheated a bit and counted its VHS release at a Times Square video store. Played great with a crowd!
(Keith: glad someone convinced you to put the ad for your book on here, but should it be a link to preorder? clicking on it for me just opens the image in a new tab.)
I had never even heard of this movie, but as part of the Miracle Mile cult (my first viewing was during its brief theatrical release) I will have to check this out.
