Was Paranoid Schizophrenia not known about in the early 70's?
Dennis Hopper was apparently "Chemically Altered" for much of the shoot, but still a sterling job.
David Gulpilil is amazing and the late Frank Thring steals the movie with a few fantastic one liners!
How many times can The Rock nearly fall off something to a certain death?
Watch this movie and find out!
Good advertisement for Duct Tape!
A Man with the Golden Gun / Rocky ending.
A good way to waste and hour and a half!
Would have been funnier if it was a work of fiction.
Their own experiments disproved their theories, but excuses explained it away. Real Science was used to support the Global theory, they explained that away. At least they're "Mostly Harmless" - to quote Douglas Adams. It's when the pseudo-scientists go after things like vaccination that things get dangerous and can effect others.
If you enjoyed "Trekkies" as a non-Trekkie, you'll be amused and saddened at the same time as I was.
My head hurts!!!

Most successful film series ever? That's a long bow mate. I think the producers of the franchises and the box office bean counters for the James Bond, Fast and the Furious, Harry Potter, Transformers, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and a few others would disagree.
A beloved series - sure, but if you're going to masquerade as a reviewer, you have to talk your Trekkie blinkers off!

A fine representation of the attitudes and the atmosphere of Victorian Era circa 1888.
The identified Ripper suspect and the motives for the crimes were discounted decades ago.
Numerous historical innaccuracies also, but entertaining if taken as a work of fiction rather than a true representation of the Ripper Crimes and History.
Eg. Aberline relaxing whilst listening to a gramophone. The Gramaphone was patented in 1887, therefore it would have existed at the time, however, obtaining one would have been prohibitively expensive, reserved for Royalty and Aristocracy. Well out of the price range of a humble Police Inspector with an Opium habit.
The real Aberline was an alcoholic, not an opium addict and lived to middle age. He was a brilliant detective, though not psychic.

A 9 for technical achievement alone!
A 50 year old movie and the plot and particularly the make-up effects still hold up today.
Watched today 05/08/2018 on a 50" UHD 4K Digital LED TV. Even close up, the make-up effects hold-up and would hold up to anything current .
