This is an extremely clever, relevant movie. Beyond the B Movie charm and incredible fight scene, it definitely contains some very astute social commentary. This is also a film that I don't think could be made today, at least by a major studio, what with its anti-government and anti-establishment themes. Any film where shooting police is shown as a heroic act would not fly today! (even if they are really aliens.) Although Rowdy Roddy Piper is not the most gifted actor who ever lived, he is perfect as a working man who has been screwed over by a corrupt system. And of course, this film contains the greatest fight scene ever captured on film. A paranoid science fiction/action masterpiece for the thinking person. Highest recommendation possible!
score 10/10
