This movie rocks so hard. It has everything; monsters, martial arts, magic, truckers, gambling, sleaze, humor, one liners. How does John Carpenter direct and make such iconic music? Kurt Russel’s charisma is insane.
I got the concept early on and I didn’t feel like the plot needed to carry on as long as it did. Some of the themes like hating/loving parts of yourself were just so heavy handed and spoon fed to us over and over. HOWEVER! The magnitude of blood and silly gore shenanigans made up for it. Once the death metal started playing I was like Okay Fuck yeah.
The only reason this isn’t getting a 10 is because the plot got so lofty and ambitious (especially the last 30 minutes) that it lost my interest. HEAVY atomic bomb/Manhattan project themes throughout. The MUSIC is sooooo cool!!! I love that the bike gang kids became involved in a heady scientific conspiracy by happenstance. I love the bromance between the two competitive boys who met at an orphanage. So cute.
