The Albert Pyun cut of the infamous superhero movie is finally coming to the big screen at a couple of festivals. The film had a troubled pre-production history bouncing around between studios, directors, scripts and stars. Curiously, both the stars of Pyun’s Radioactive Dreams (BMB post here), John Stockwell and Michael Dudikoff, were at different points attached to the picture before Pyun ever came on board. And then once made, the studio recut Pyun’s edit into something “more conventional”, which bombed.

    When I was in the hospital recovering from a rattlesnake bite my then best friend showed up with a copy of this on VHS, as if the pain from the snake bite was not enough.

        I reckon it’s kinda like when you have a headache, so a friend punches you in the gut so you forget about the pain in your head.
