"Hardware Wars" has its moments, but *every* moment in "Porklips Now" works for me. From Billy Gray's uncanny Sheen-like look and sound, to the incredibly and purposefully stupid dialog, to the spot-on Brando take at the end, "Porklips" is a masterpiece. When I first saw this on the original VHS tape that included "Hardware Wars" and "Bambi Meets Godzilla", I was working in a small video store where we were allowed to watch just about anything we wanted. This became a prized screening choice among all of us who had seen "Apocalypse Now", to the extent that we had to restrain ourselves from showing it every day, lest we grow tired of it. That never happened, btw . . . We need a DVD!

I cannot believe Harrison Ford signed up for this wretched tripe. Utterly predictable (the worst sin imaginable for a horror/thriller)--even given the "twist" regarding the killer's identity--and amazingly confused, this ranks as the worst major release of its genre since "Sleeping With the Enemy". I cannot believe this made the big bucks it did . . .
