There's a lot more social commentary to this movie that the previous commentator would have you believe. If you lived in the UK during this time (thatcher you evil bitch!), it may make it difficult to separate yourself from the themes and story in this movie. Sometimes that is what makes movies truly great - that they speak to you on a very personal level - a level that you cannot stand or abide. Sort of like the popularity of "the office" - riding on that almost unwatchable uncomfortableness. Anyway yes when the band ahem "slade" sing 'We're having a gang bang, we're having ball, we're having a gang bang against the wall'. - it is the best bit.

Danger Theatre
(1993)
funny show
13 November 2004
I remember seeing this on fox in the summer of 1993 - probably a 4 episode summer try-out. It was shown back to back, i recall, within the same 'theatre' with a mostly forgettable Adam West lead show called "tropical punch" - a bad bad parody of 'Hawaii 5-0' insulting to Jack Lord fans everywhere.
Diedrich Bader played a leather clad 'investigator' ala the 'hitchhiker' but at every turn he was killed. Comic violence in the style of 'itchy and scratchy' purposely put to live action. Great Stuff - the lasting memory is when he's investigating a crime or something on the Universal Studios lot in LA and opens the door to the stage where they are shooting 'backdraft' with incinerating results.
