Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, 1979.

Miniscule theatrical release, near-universal scorn from reviewers, resurrected less than a year later as a TV series.

One bright spot: Erin Gray in form-fitting costumes.

Neither of which is present in Freejack. But if anyone can remember the song used in the commercial for Freejack, I'd appreciate it. I just remember "Weeeee want your body..."

Then again, I like Xanadu, so my judgement may not be all its cracked up to be............

]]> <![CDATA[Clubs of the Future with Mick Jagger, Jerry Hall, and Crazy Outfits!]]> I actually saw this in the theater. Not my greatest date ever.

And I love Ice Pirates! Whatever they were trying to do there, I think they succeeded.

Git Em SteveDave is a poor substitute for LindsayJoy

]]> <![CDATA[Clubs of the Future with Mick Jagger, Jerry Hall, and Crazy Outfits!]]> The premise reminds me of the book Altered Carbon, in as much as the rich could buy the bodies of people convicted of a crime.

You all are taking these movies way too serious. They're comic books, not movies. Much more fun to watch that way.

@bitgod: I have seen Freejack in HD, and it is good. Especially the gratuitous Scorpions song over the end credits.

If memory serves Sir Ant filmed this right after Silence of the Lambs but before that movie was actually released, so he was not yet aware that he didn't have to do such turd-burpery to pay the bills anymore.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm riding my hoverboard over to the San Angeles Taco Bell.

]]> <![CDATA[Clubs of the Future with Mick Jagger, Jerry Hall, and Crazy Outfits!]]> @Cantonkid: Or Geoff Murphy's previous directing outing, also starring Emilio Estavez: Young Guns II.

This could've been such a great movie, being based on Robert Sheckley's novel Immortality, Inc, where disembodied Assassins chase the hero into Zombie haunted sewers and billionaires attempt suicide by hiring Man Hunters to chase them down.

O yeah, and the ending of the book didn't suck.

]]> <![CDATA[Clubs of the Future with Mick Jagger, Jerry Hall, and Crazy Outfits!]]> @Cantonkid: I was also going to name Maximum Overdrive. The only good thing about that film was the song who made who by ac/dc. Honestly, Freejack was better than maximum overdrive.

Also, There are a ton of movies sillier and crappier than Freejack. What genre would you like us to start in?

Priam

]]> <![CDATA[Clubs of the Future with Mick Jagger, Jerry Hall, and Crazy Outfits!]]> "I dare you to name a movie sillier than Freejack..."

I take your dare, and I give you Emilio Estevez in....

'Maximum Overdrive' ;P

I actually lived in Atlanta when they were there making this movie.

We would go downtown and watch these chase scenes being filmed.

Afterward, met Mick at the local "Quiet place where music celebs hang out when in town", a.k.a. "Fat Matts Rib Shack". Mick did a couple of songs with the house blues band and then complained about how the movie sucked.

Ah, memories.

]]> <![CDATA[Clubs of the Future with Mick Jagger, Jerry Hall, and Crazy Outfits!]]> If even a few bits of this scene come true, I am excited for 2009 it's ridiculous. But really - wow. I do love the fashions. I love that the club ends up looking much more like Halloween at a midwestern gay bar than an actual "on the fringe" scene. You've got the few examples of Asian art, along with that glimpse at a stage show; but also a name like Industrial Revolution, some big plastic gears on the walls, the employee in the silver hard hat, somebody making a noble attempt at a Jimi Hendrix outfit, a couple of Star Wars getups and lets not forget the topless women with dragon body paint.
But by far my favorite aspect of this scene is the drink, "You want this drink I'm standing here awkwardly holding out to you as arrive?" says the barman. "Sure," says Emilio, "I only have every reason in the world to be suspicious of you. Why not?"
