Did they throw in the bit at 1:07 just for the folks who get turned on by John Carpenter movies?

Isn’t that kind of the plot of everything from Metropolis to Weird Science? Hardly surprising. Also, Rule 34 and all that.
But remember: technically it’s Frankenhooker’s Monster, the creation of Dr. Frankenhooker.

James Lorinz always seemed like the B-movie answer to Andrew McCarthy to me.

Not only made but made with a TALKING BOX
If you pressed the button, it said her only catch line “Wanna date?”
Also, I’d say the whole movie was readable as a feminist cautionary tale for men on the whole madonna/whore body-image thing too. Been a long time since I watched it though so I am open to being challenged on that too.

The middle act was a little slow, but I tried to judge it on its artistic merits personally. Some very avant-garde, near ground breaking stuff.

Basket Case and Brain Damage are better, but this one was fun.

“Where’s my johnson?!”
I am waiting for 45 to retroactively force the Academy to recognize this and give Oscars to all.

Well sure it did, where’ve you been?
Didn’t you see where they said “from the makers of Basket Case”? If they’re servicing fans it’s their own.
