Emilio and Cox topped out early with this dirty little postmodern classic.

Cox's style is a step beyond camp into a comedy of pure disgust; much of the film is churlishly unpleasant, but there's a core of genuine anger that gives the project an emotional validation lacking in the flabby American comedies of the early 80s.

...the movie, more often than not, just comes off as strange for strangeness' sake.
01/30/06
Totally bizarre.

08/01/05
A sci-fi thriller takes a wacky look at a particular LA subculture and a zany farce with lunatic characters, including a TV evangelist who preaches against "Godless Communism" abroad and liberal humanism at home.
12/23/06
An unforgettable B-picture, a bizarre, strangely fixating punk sci-fi satire that simply refused to die.
02/27/01
Pure weirdo fun.
02/04/06
Despite, or perhaps because of, being British, Cox [has] a great handle on America and L.A.; especially that great chase scene down those concrete water canals at some corner wasteland of the city.
