    It's odd looking back on this movie now with there being tie-in graphic novels to both Escape From New York and Big Trouble In Little China and the writing for both of them are far superior to this. Though it is weird that there is a crossover book coming up where Jack Burton and Plissken meet up.

    Even the Snake Plissken Chronicles comic was better.

    Well were to start with this movie. First off this movie had the worst timing. It was set to come out in October 2001, but was postponed until February. Due to the September 11 attacks. And this movie's plot having terrorist killing Arnold's family and him going after the terrorist. The director saw the original script having middle eastern terrorist. He changed it because he did think that was current any more. And wanted to do more current terrorist threat. They actually considered not releasing the movie. They pulled the trailer from theaters right away after the attacks. Plus they had a game on the movie site called catch the wolf. It had players going after terrorist. They cut a scene that was filmed with Sofia Vergara high jacking a plane.

    This movie is frustrating because it never bothers to explain its internal mythology -- and you can't go to the source, because this is an original Stephen King screenplay. So many questions: Where/how/why the fuck do these cat-people shapeshifters exist? Except for the cursory psuedo-history in the introduction, there's exactly ONE line that references any context for their being -- the mother says something like "there's got to be more of us out there, we can't be the last ones". So are they searching for other "sleepwalkers"? Is their race being hunted, or are they dying out? Are the cats other shapeshifters, or are they just regular cats? Does this mean ALL cats are after the sleepwalkers? Why? And for that matter, why are cat-people fatally allergic (or whatever) to cats? This seems like an insane weakness for one species to have. On that note, it's no wonder the sleepwalkers have gone extinct -- they are fucking terrible at their jobs. The son spends the whole movie getting his ass kicked by a single teenage girl. The mother apparently can't even leave the house. How the hell have they even made it this far? What exactly are their powers? The shape shifting seems to come only out of surprise or anger, rather than need. They never change shape for any useful reason, other than to simply turn invisible, stay still, and hide. What a shitty power. Oh, and they can apparently turn a car (all cars? What about other things?) invisible, and change it from a Mustang to a Thunderbird. If you can feed on virgins, can you feed on children? It seems like virgins would be in short supply at high schools, especially when they're hot girls like Madchen Amick. Can they only feed on women, or are young men acceptable? Why not just go after another, easier, dumber teenager? Do you really need to take her out to several dates first? Why? WHY?

    If cats can kill them then why can they turn into cats?
