I still love the early CGI effects of the spaceships etc .. just a step up from what they accomplished with Tron .. moving towards more realism with the geometry and lighting.... It's still crude, but beautiful in that way. Love seeing innovations like that .... It's more interesting than the stuff we're getting now where they can do everything. It's almost like the box forces film makers to think more creatively ... Now it's just, 'been there, done that' .. who cares really?

@waynechapman9823 3 года назад

Siskel had put it on his list of the ten worst films of the year, but Ebert hadn't seen it yet. So I'm thinking that when Ebert finally saw it, he thought to himself "It's no 'Dr. Strangelove,' but I like it more than Gene did" and was probably pleasantly surprised he liked it at all after Siskel had raked it over the coals. That might be why he considered it to be a guilty pleasure.

What i really love is how some of their opinions of these films have now been borne out. Films like Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, The Last Starfighter, The Last Dragon, The Entity, and The Funhouse have been re-assessed by modern audiences are now considered 80's classics. Other films like Summer Lovers and Tarzan are not thought of quite so fondly but i think Roger and Gene liked those films more because they appealed to their lubidos than their quality as actual films.

As kids in early/mid 90’s, this came on all the time where I lived and I loved it. My friend and I would re-enact the end where Leroy catches the bullet in his teeth. One of us would shoot the other, the other would fall on stomach and would put some ridiculous item in mouth like a toy, a Cheeto, a sandwich slice, maybe underwear lol to surprise the other when being flipped over. We laughed so hard, never got old.

He literally compares it to Wizard of OZ! Is that a "guilty pleasure" too? Pee Wee's Big Adventure is amazing, there's nothing to be "guilty" about laughing at a fun movie with a legendary character. I watched Siskel & Ebert religiously from their early days on, but sometimes their theme shows like this were all over the place and made no sense; they'd kind of reveal how out of touch they could be. Pee's Wee's entire shtick completely fit into (and was kind of a high poit of) the eighties' 1950s revisionist redux in underground art, and its obvious Siskel & Ebert had no concept of that whole movement. And through this whole episode they barely explain what makes them feel guilty about these films they say they like, except for some of the cringey talk of enjoying watching naked girls.

@FriendZone75 3 года назад

It’s not a remake at all. It’s all apart of the same kind of series in Japan called “Sentai”. The original Power Rangers seasons literally used footage from their Japanese counterparts. Saban (the producer) made a deal with the Sentai producers in Japan to be able to use the concept and footage in the US for Power Rangers. They filmed footage of the American actors and recorded a lot of English dialogue, but almost every battle scene is borrowed from the Japanese sentai show already produced - it was just overdubbed.

Infra-Man(1975). Called "Zhong Guo Chen Ren" in Mandarin Chinese. Top Score by Anthony W. Mawer was featured in the Hong Kong version. Danny Lee played Infra Man. He played an amoral police officer in John Woo's action-drama The Killer(1989).
