at 0:44 Vidiot looks like Freddie Mercury (no offence to the GREAT Queen Vocalist) and anyone remember Howie Mandel's character in "Little Monsters" just a thought...
@slugnbozo Hell, it CAUSED the video game crash. Any movie that makes Porky's look literate and well acted has to be baaaaaaaaaaaad. Look at those pre-silicone teeny tiny 80s boobs everywhere. Wasn't Joe Don Baker in this piece of shit?
For those interested, the woman at 0:27 on the bed with the whip is the girl behind the voice of Baroness in the original "G.I. Joe" cartoon. And she sounds almost the same, just minus Baroness' accent. She's the only reason I even rented this otherwise awful movie from Netflix because I was curious to finally see what she looked like.
@tonymontana1974 You mean the blond girl who jumps in the pool? No, that's not Lisa Kudrow, but Corinne Bohrer, who's been in a ton of stuff over the years. She even had her own show in 1989/1990 called "Free Spirit" on ABC.
@MikeAM78 Yeh thanks for the info i think she was in 1 of the police academy films as well wasnt she when she falls in love with "zed" i think it was police academy 3 citizens on patrol.
I did also. It was on a double bill with Sleepaway Camp. I was about 14 and the theatre i went to let kids in anyway. The most incongruous double bill i caught was E.T. and Forbidden World.
I've only seen it once, in edited form, on USA Up All Night. Mostly I remember this for the face-painted punk, King Vidiot. The same actor, Jon Gries, later played Lazlo in Real Genius, Uncle Rico in Napoleon Dynamite, and currently a recurring character on LOST!
@odinvonzero LOL, I also saw this one on USA Up All Night (I think in 1991), and only saw it a few times ever since on video tape... It's great someone remembered to re release this on DVD!

Just went to my local mall last night and seen they closed the arcade. It has been there for 20 some years. I guess it is the sign of the times.

This movie seems to have a lot of classical themes in it. I don't know if this trailer is more about videogames or sex. lol

Hahaha! That's awesome. A more apt double bill would've been E.T. and XTRO.

King Vidiot ought to have been the break-out star of 1983, not that damn bug-eyed alien puppet of Spielberg's.
