Made in 1986, released as a 97p DVD in 2006 ...

• Tommy Lee Jones
• Linda Hamilton
• Robert Vaughn

And, to top it off ...

• Bubba Smith

Oh, and, I suspect, a dyslexic scriptwriter - there's something made of "Kelvar [sic], the same stuff as bulletproof vests". A highly enjoyable 80s-tastic evening, complete with big hair, bad suits, the obligatory bad club scene and a cellphone the size of a brick. Oh, and to top it off, a story written by John Carpenter (who also put in some time on the screenplay). And released by Roger Corman's old company. I think that ticks about every box!

The DVD also has the trailer, which is even more 'of its time' - Voiceover Man™ doing the whole "They made one big mistake ..." schtick.

And the name of this paragon of the cinematic arts? ( Look away now if you don't want to know the answer. )

And, for forthcoming attractions, I bought more of the 97p DVDs at the same time, in the same series of re-releases - one of them's even a sci-fi film featuring Roddy Piper (of wrestling and They Live fame) and Billy Drago.

All of the photos from IMDB look like scans of the VHS or DVD case, or possibly the poster (if any were printed) - and have one of the least flattering examples of the cover artists work I've ever seen, even including the one done for Highlander.
