Disjointed in all the best ways.
Don't know if it's bugged, but ended super abruptly for me. No credits, no wrap up, just "climax scene-DONE" weird. Heads up, lot of rapey stuff in this one. Made it hard to enjoy an otherwise fun movie.
Decent movie to watch at least once. Be warned: the hero never transforms into anything. Really. But still worth it.
Over the years I've seen so many weird films, and at times felt I had seen the best of them. Somehow this one made it past me and I can't get enough of it. Love the ridiculous story, the over the top action scenes, the cool soundtrack, and the strange love scenes. From beginning to end I found myself entertained for many reasons. It's got that grindhouse vibe going for it, but with that certain kind of weirdness that makes it more of a masterpiece of a different sort. Loved every minute of it, and would proudly recommend it to fans of strange cinema and cult films.
So glad I stumbled upon this Gem, I loved every minute
