  • Saw this movie on its release and loved it,still do lol but soo many unanswered questions remain,i always thought the maniacs were the worst of the worst from round the universe,each from a different timeframe,but who knows,those little lizards guys u mention are the scavengers,they take the dead back to wherever it is they come from,also wondered about mohawk,his arm is chopped off and later its back again,regeneration or someone patching them up maybe.

  • Not seen this movie yet, it's been on my mental need to see list for years.

  • I just picked up a VHS copy of this for $1 today.

  • ahh yes the bad ass lightening video release, with all the maniacs peaking behind the text :)

  • I've got the region 4 CBS FOX version which looks like the original poster art. The region 1 version would be quite pricey over here.

  • thats awesome, i love the vhs artwork

  • i wish i would have gotten to see those saturday nightmares :) back in the day, i did see some joe bob briggs ghoulies 1 and 2lol

  • i would love to buy it from amazon, but it got above 15 dollars, darn, i just need to see my retailer again! awesome movie, there should be a special edition and an explaination, sequel or not? Neon Revelation or something! i know that no-one i know will like the movie, but i think it's perfect eighties trash par excellence! i like your review! why don't you use a hair clip for the shorter ones, then the rest won't bother you that much!

  • i agree i always wanted to see a sequel to this one, also did u ever notice the grim reaper maniac in a scene for a split second its very strange. not sure i need one thou.

  • really? must have missed that one! i just have to get the dvd as fast as possible! many cult films have gotten a great dvd, why not the Neon Maniacs? maybe one day! the clip thing was just an idea, mine bothered me so much one that i cut them very short, shame though!:)

  • yeah i was like who the hell is that it took me a few times to notice him. yeah it is so humid in my house at night i like wrap it around my head lol and the beard doesn't help the heat either lol.

  • i keep my eyes peeled for him as soon as i get the dvd! the heat can be a killer, especially with long hair! but you know, no beauty without suffering!;)

  • i think its the scene when the little girl goes to the bridge and sees Slash fall into the puddle, there is 12 neon maniacs besides the mysterious reaper. yeah lol

  • i tell you when i have found him too, i get this dvd as soon as possible, the only version i found on the net to watch is in spanish and i suck at spanish! darn!:/

  • lol yeah i know a bit here and there but could never watch a movie and understand in spanish lol

  • well, yeah, if it would come with subs at least!:)

  • yeah but a movie made in english and watched in spanish with subs is probably going to be pretty bad.

  • watching a movie dubbed into another language when it wasn't intented to be, it always sucks! Neon Maniacs is quite a bizarre experience in spanish! why do i have to travel almost 80 miles by train to get to my retailer? i want this dvd now!:(

  • not always lol but if its in english and u watch it in another language it always pisses me off, i don't mind old Italian and Spanish movies dubbed in English. yeah that sounds pretty rough, the movie i believe is oop now, but you can still order it offline.

  • true, depends, the old Fulci movies and all the other stuff of that sort, are great in their dubbed form, that gives them even more charm! the thing is my retailer has it for a very low price, it will be less then 10 bucks for me, when i'm lucky! do you know if there is a fansite for this movie somewhere to find?!

  • i agree it gives them a great grindhouse or cheesy feeling that works well. i don't think there is, but there should be, if i was good at designing websites i would do one :)

  • i would become a member, i suck at this to, otherwise i would creat e one!:)

  • yeah same.

  • i just saw the movie on my dvd, finally! yeah! i found the reaper, it's in quite a few scenes towards the end, just walking around but doing to action, i noticed also that a couple of these little lizzard guys appear, they are just there to drag the dead away! this movie is really enjoyable, don't you agree!? shame that there was no sequel, a Neon Triliogie would have been friggin awesome!

  • you mean the ones called thing or something that has the hook hes awesome, probably one of the coolest in the movies the reaper is only in one scene i can thing of, there are 12 excluding the reaper, Axe, Mohawk, Juice, Samurai, Ape, Thing, Biker, Solider, Doc, Slash, Hangman, Archer. and then of course Reaper.

  • the reaper guy with the huge blades can be seen when Slash falls into the puddle, later when they march to the dance and in one brief scene at the dance! in on scene you can make out that there are two of lizzard with the hooks! just check it out!:)

  • yeah i mentioned he was in that scene i remember the reaper , hmmm now you've intrigued me. i'll have to check out and try and spot of two lizard men lol.

  • i remember renting this one years ago

    something from the good old vhs times

  • yess the vhs was the best, when i was a kid i was like wheres the frickin back lol and i knew it was going to be a cheese fest.

  • You've encouraged me to stop watching movies altogether

  • lmao due to the movies i chose review? ..

  • No, it's just an eye opener to see how much movie's haven't changed

  • hmmm i donno 80's films have a certain feel to them, but i don't think there are to many films if any i can think of like this nowadays being made.

  • The movie industry is dragging so much ass these days, For real dude, have you seen Transmorphers, Snakes on a train, 100 million BC, too much gay shit being made

  • yeah i don't watch those movies lol, i never even watched transformers, i watch old bad movies, to me there is magic in them.

  • Hmm, i guess watching movies you already know are gonna be shit-tacular takes away the disappointment.

  • yeah, i try not to have high hopes, but i'm a firm believer in the good bad movie

  • I must say that this film looks EPIC thanks for bringing it to my attention.

  • sure thing :)

  • I still need to get Neon Maniacs , im gonna get it with my next purcheses . What films could you compare it to.

  • hmm a way better version of necropolis, i seen once some one compare it to night breed i can see that because the lots of monsters, maybe monster squad, plot wise, but actual movie its something like a cheesy 80's flick in the vein of mutant hunt but just way better, way bigger budget i believe. had to be.

  • Cool pokemon cards.

  • lmao...

  • great review, the movie looks interesting, love the old style special effects (CGI are for some movies very crappy)

    the 70/80's was great years for horrors movies
