Also lived there for 2 years in grade 8 and 9 back in 1978\9. All the scenes in this movie, as bad as it was, reminds me of my youth.

    The song which plays when the Tommy kid is trapped in the wharehouse with the bad guy is actually *"Strong as I am"* by The Prime Movers. Michael Mann and Hannibal Lecter fans know it for being in superb film *"Manhunter"* , the first adaptation of the Thomas Harris book *"Red Dragon"* , the sequel to which is the world-renowned *"Silence of the Lambs"* . Good song. And used there quite expertly. Rifftrax is constantly circulating the riff of "Abraxas" on their channel these days and when I first heard it I was struck by most painful confusion.

      I was surprised when about 15 years ago I dug out my old Captain Power toys and the electronic gimmick of 'interacting ' with the TV show still worked even on blurry uploads of the episodes on this site. Ok so I guess they had to work with 80s CRTs and VHS so yeah. It was neat though. :)

    Brandon, I want you to know, that I have avoided Abraxas for well over a decade and a half because of its reputation. But tonight, I'm giving in to that holdout.
    And maybe it's just the alcohol talking, but honestly? The saxophone music edit for Aliens honestly kinda slaps, in my opinion. But not in a "this is better" way, more like "Man, remember Short Circuit 2? Anyone? Anyone besides my ex-wife? No? Shit."
    Yeah, it's the alcohol talking.
    Looking forward to the next video, chief!
