Saw this cult classic 2 or 3 times in theaters when it first came out, it definitely has some nostalgic value for me. I hope Sony puts some respectable effort into making this special edition actually something special (please don’t pull a Warner Bros act on us!), the bonus material on the blu-ray release was pretty sparse & uninspired.
cool … interesting and odd all at the same time. I’ll get it. A fairly unique favorite from a niche genre.
“Leroy lives like a Chinese”
‘nough said. Next!
This i s my favorite movie ever. Wish they make a part 2. They should call
” Guardian Of The Glow “.
Thought I heard a sequel was in the works
