It has a lot of cool stylistic touches and a great look - something Ridley Scott is known for. It gets a little predictable in places, and the dialog is nothing to write home about, but yeah, I like watching it every few years.

Hmmm, guess I'll have to dust that LaserDisc off...

Good call, Richard!

That was one of my favorites back then, and it is still entertaining when I watched it the other day. Another Film Noir classic.

One of my favorite movies. Have you ever seen the original?

Yes it is ..... it also reminds me the undergroud society in Taiwan, where the culture is heavily influenced by Japanese since WW2.
