Got done watching ninja turtles 1990 and realized there were very few replicas of that type of film in the 90s. I wonder if the studios just couldn’t afford it?
The NY office setting, vigilantes and ninjas running around the streets, etc. As a child, this movie turned me off to skateboarding and cyberpunk stuff even though the movie was one of the soundtracks in the house. It wasn’t until seeing Pennywise the clown in the sewer on the VHS packaging of It from 97-98ish that drove me to consider "the candy" of enabling things like underage drinking
- cigarettes, the underground parts of TMNT, and the slippery representations on the screens (even the music video). (PC Doom was an independent and isolated pet project
)
Replicas is heavy with the sci-fi, lots of computers in the garage, small scale visual effects and action, and should require repeat viewings. The movie is slow, more like a drowsy soap opera than a simulated roller coaster experience, but its heavy enough to be compared with solid X-Files episodes. 90/10
That scene driving on the freeway in the rain in the carpool lane and unable to see is a trigger most drivers probably get a jolt from.
