Rarely does a movie have the confidence to strick out in a unique direction with the knowledge that the audience will catch on, catch up, and beg for more.
Though this wasn't a big money maker in the theaters, it has achieved cult status and big bucks in video rentals ever since.
Is it the cast? This film is crammed with familiar faces that would command more money than a film budget nowadays would allow. Is it the cast, filled with a neat plot, cool dialog, and lots of memorable, funny bits? Or is it that there's a certain weirdness that I haven't seen duplicated in any other film.
Yes, yes, and yes.
Rent this if you like any of the cast member, science fiction, aliens, comic books, Heros, Orson Wells, New Jersey, or just want to put your brain on hold for a while and have a fun time.
