Man... it's brilliant fun to watch but my god is it bad.

Oh gods... I just finished watching it.

How the hell did it ever get such a cult following? It's horrible!

Although, the one scene where The Kurgan is driving along the bridge with "New York" playing in the background is probably one of the greatest scenes in movie history.

Yep, testosterone was in short supply back then, so any "kick ass" movie was treasured. I mean, it STARTED with a wrestling match. :saijin:

You should watch it.... it's really worth experiencing that part of the 80s.

I hated the 80s. Full of parental oppression, poverty and misery.

Dev, I don't know if you've got it on you, but watch the opening fight.
