just saw this movie pop up on a torrent site and was intrigued by the poster, which looks cool as fuck, I mean how many hand-painted movie posters do you see these days?

turns out the director, David Allen, was a stop-motion animator who sadly died of cancer in 1999, so the film was never completed. a few years back some of his colleagues launched a crowdfunded campaign to finish the film and it was finally released last year in theaters and more recently on digital

thought this story was fascinating, the fact that this movie had been in development for 50+ years and shot 30 years ago just now getting released is intriguing. I haven’t seen the film yet, but I like stop-motion so I’m gonna check it out later tonight.

anyone seen this one yet?

    Man, how have I never heard of this? Looks like a Godfrey Ho film, or Samurai Cop. Definitely going to watch this.
