It’s like West Side Story meets Jason and the Argonauts on crack!

...And with a heavy feel of Escape From New York and idea or two borrowed from Vanishing Point (The DJ).

I watched this by mistake the other day when it was on telly late night...

...The programme I was watching had ended and this started, while I was playing with my phone; when the deep seventies Carpenter-esque vibe of the music and visuals came on I looked up and thought: “WTF is this!?!”

Very atmospheric, but absolutely mental!

It drew me in, and I was mesmerised by it right through to the end.

Preposterous and absurd plot and premise, with identikit gangs from someone's surreal nightmare punctuated with some of the worst acting you've ever seen...

All the reasons I loved it! :)

I mean, there's even a gang on roller skates!!!

As they battle to journey through the city to get back to their turf after being accused of assassinating the “Big Cheese” of the gang world, and the word gets out to the other gangs to get them, I wondered if the people who made it were totally or stoned, or I was!

...And the amount of early / first time actors in this that you recognize from later fame is incredible (even saw Mercedes Ruehl in this)... and it took me a while to figure if the lead actor (Mr. Beck, of course) may or may not have been Jon Bon Jovi or not.

Nuts... Wonderfully bonkers and nuts!

 I had an In-depth talk with Michael Beck about the Cuts made to Film for DVD release. Something He was unaware of. Believe He was not happy about It. When We watched the Directors Cut and I pointed out the Edits made. Then We watched my VHS Original and I pointed out the Edits that were made for DVD release. He was like I did not know this Thanks for the Heads up when I get back Stateside I will be Having Words. Lovely Man so Approachable and Informative about Movies to.

PS The first Picture on the Link given by Zabadak. Is from the Opening Scene of the Movie that was one of the Edits He did not approve off ether as I took all Day to shoot. H.
