Oh yeah, "The Last Days of Man on Earth." I remember little about the
film itself (thank god) but it's right near the top of my list of five
films I wish had never been released on an unsuspecting public. The
Chambanana SF Assoc. showed it once because it was supposed to have
been based on something by Michael Moorcock. Unfortunately, no one
had ever seen it before we ordered it. What an absolutely incredible
bomb.
Another film to avoid is "Stalker", a Russian film based (loosely) on
the Strugatski's "Roadside Picnic." They could have done so much with
their material, but they really blew it. Reminded me of "Days of Heaven"
in its pacing.
