"...from the author of Blade Runner and Ladyhawke..."
one of my favourite movies of all time (not kidding), this low budget post-apocalyptic sci-fi schlock features The Great Rutger Hauer (TGRH for short) and Joan Chen of Twin Peaks fame. The movie centers around a supposedly wild and brutal game - think weaponized basketball. Our heroes are a wastleland-travelling team of "Juggers", fighting for fame - and room and board.
Will things turn around when Joan Chen joins the team as the new runner after a match in her home village that sees TGRHs runner injured? Will they make their way into the League, where the wealthy heap luxuries upon the best Juggers? Or will TGRHs dark past in one of the Nine Cities prevent them from getting there?
This movie is straight up awesome, but also such a low budget affair that you can find enough fodder for the show. The game is both well- and ill-done at the same time, there are tons of cliches, Joan Chen must have spent lots of time in ADR from how she sounds, and Rutger Hauer does what he does best.
Do this one.
