Rainbow Wars

[plonq]

This film played at one of the better pavilions at the 1986 world fair. I have tried to track it down a few times over the years, but had largely given up and forgotten about it. I know dad had it on loan from the company on VHS for awhile, but that was long before he retired, and if they have any copies kicking around they'd be forgotten ones stashed in a box in a back office at HR or something.

The message in the movie is anything but subtle, but it's delivered with enough whimsy and camp to make it palatable, and there are a lot of wonderful little touches through the movie that make it a lot of fun to watch. There are also a couple of familiar faces in this movie in the form of (very young) Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles. I spotted Ryan easily enough, but I forgot to watch for Colin.

That was simple but fun to watch, with some nice directorial touches throughout. :) Up until now you've been looking for it on-and-off? That's strange, it seems like it would've been more of a primary concern.

tl;dw - really hard to follow. Slow fox is slow.

How odd... I was just telling one of my co-workers (about 20 years old) about that very film, just a week ago...

Was always somewhat enamored of the use of the Vitruvian Man (?) as a form of transportation ;) That, and the emotive glasses.


It would seem that memories remain shiny, while the reality has tarnished.

Is that Colin on the left in yellow at 16:49 just after the woman is saved from the fall?

That woman in yellow reminds me of Lady Gaga
