Let's watch another David Carradine flick..
The introduction monologue:
"In the year 1991, crime in America is out of control. Prisons were overloaded, police forces were understaffed. Gun battles in city streets became commonplace; No one was safe. The cities had become the battlefields of the future, and the criminals were winning the war. The public demanded change, and the government responded. Police departments across the country were shut down, and law enforcement was give over to private enterprise. Civilian Operated Police Incorporated (C.O.P.S.) took over, and within two years, crime was under control. The price however, was a heavy one, for justice as we knew it, ceased to exist."
I very much liked the cool mug shots on the TV in the opening.
Right away we are introduced to David Carradine, and let's be clear, he is not an imposing picture of a man by this point in his life. Pot belly and slow movements, and the complexion of a 2 pack a day smoker really set the tone. I spent more time typing out the introduction monologue than was spent on character development or plot for this movie. I digress.. lets move on.
The hard coded subs make it better IMO.
Holy shit.
Within the first six minutes of the movie, we are introduced to the main character of the movie: The Robot Arm thingy. Cars explode, then we are shown some cassette futurism retro tech.
This is rad. I want one.
I would keep going, but I don't want to totally ruin the movie for those of you that actually want to enjoy it. My only advice is that you look at the cars and technology in the background of this movie, it's actually quite a cool throwback. Oh, and remember, they made a sequel.
