Topic: Lazers, Swords and Cheese. The cheesy 80s sci/fi fantasy movie thread! Forum: JoBlo

The film is a cheesy sci fi disco movie and also pays tribute to silver screen legeng Gene Kelly. Yeah, but you know, I recently did a research on 3-D and that gimmick has been going around since the 50s with films like House of Wax and many others that Vincent Price (king of 3-d back in those days) starred in. Then it died again...then resurfaced in the 80s with films like Jaws 3-d, and a whole slew of others which I mentioned on my 3-D thread a while back (check it out right here!) and now, this old gimmick is getting ready to get relaunched via the use of new technolog which will supposedly take 3-d to a whole new level of realism. Gotta be honest cant wait to see what it will look like. James Cameron has never ceased to amaze me. Quote: Originally Posted by MidnightAngel When Terrorvison will get the dvd or blu-ray treatment. I'd rather wish for a Criterion Collection treatment. Funny! We can only dream. At most, we will probably end up getting a full screen version of it.
