    • Trivia
      Gabriel (Kris Kristofferson) trains Nea (Kathy Long) to fight Job (Lance Henriksen) and his army of cyborgs that are bent on harvesting the blood of 10,000. This foreshadowed Kris Kristofferson's role in the "Blade" trilogy, which he played Abraham Whistler, mentor of vampire hunter Blade (Wesley Snipes).
    • Goofs
      When Simon somersaults down the hill after Gabriel during their fight scene the trampoline used by the stunt double is clearly visible.
    • Quotes

      David: It makes sense, doesn't it? To kill us, he must be metal.

    • Alternate versions
      When the film aired on premium cable channels, there is an added scene between David and Matthew. After the fight at the river, they make it back to camp and David tells Matthew how lucky he was that Nea missed his kill zone. Then, Matthew rubs the top of his head and says that he needs an aspirin.

    Breath-taking!
    What a sensational movie. The script-writers obviously have really taken their time here. The plot is fantastic and the director deserves credit for keeping it together so well. The acting is sensational with a lively mix of both well executed humour and a theme which is so very important. It underlines a woman's place in society as being just as important as a man's. It also helps us realise just how important family values are. Lance and Kris have both shown how their talents demand more screen time. The film was so well rounded. Such a complex and engaging beginning combined with well developed middle and truly classic and memorable ending. Of course i approached the film thinking it would be slap-dash tripe but not at all. The many sets (the desert, the outback and the..eh...des..er.t) really caught the eye. The costumes were amazing too. The idea of replacing cars with horses in an age of cyborg's and robots was very eh.....original. But the thing is that Hollywood has been crying out for a kickboxer/robot team taking on evil, blood-sucking cyborgs theme. The movie's lack of success can only be explained by bad timing. The fight sequences are never repetative and the dubbing and editing are obviously the work of a master technician. The dialogue i believe was written by the script people from 'Howard's End'. The original tag-line for this film was 'Poetry in Motion.'Apparently a sequel was cosidered however the film's producers had the old 'Sundance and Butch Cassidy' problem of the first film being too final and not open-ended enough. Probably the film's only major flaw. May i also say that Darth Vader(Star Wars), The Joker(Batman), Mum-Rah(ThunderCats) and Roy Batty(Blade Runner) pale into significance to the ultimate BADDY - 'The Master Creator'. And though we never see it you could just tell that the brilliantly titled 'Cyborg City' would beat the hell out of the 'Death Star'. Hats Off. Pure Genius. Top class. First rate. Numero Uno. Ten out of Ten. Best of the Best. Made in Heaven. All time classic. My A**e. It was $h!t with a capital SSSSSSHHHHHHHEEEEEEEE!
