Â
Risible comic book adventure about a futuristic bounty hunter
which tried to launch Pamela Anderson's acting career.
The plot could be easily summed up as a post-apocalyptic
version of Casablanca set in a seedy strip club populated with a horde of unlikeable characters.
It should come as no surprise that the film was a huge flop
and Anderson's film career came to nothing. What may come as a surprise is that the film was so terrible that it caused the original source comic book series to discontinue shortly after this
film's cinematic release.
