Isle of man: go fast lol idk

Not going to lie, I chose to watch this based solely on the poster. Not surprised to see David Carradine, but was pleasantly surprised to see Sherilyn Fenn a few years before her time on Twin Peaks. The movie is kind of goofy, and it definitely has its flaws but I don't regret watching it.

Kind of clumsily touches on elements refined in future movies like Gattaca, Minority Report and others, but it's still fun world building. My favourite tidbit is that in this world it's normal for cops to conduct dick inspections. What a future.

Fun effects, very 90's style, really interesting soundtrack. Overall a pretty decent movie, seems to be heavily inspired by The Thing (1982) with some of the practical effects. It's the duck's guts 👍.

NSW Police are a complete joke, if it's not strip searching minors it's just good old corruption.

Glad you enjoyed it, there's some wild stories he has covered. Another favourite of a similar vein is the multipart episode on the early Xbox hacking scene: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/45/

This movie definitely straddles that line between being so bad that it's good, and so bad it's just bad, but it had enough funny moments and self-awareness that I think it's worth a watch. There were some fun zombies as well, and some pretty great visual gags that got some big laughs out of me and my friends. If you love zombie movies I think this is definitely worth a watch, if not there probably isn't enough here to make it worth your time.

Anyone interested in diving deep into the rabbit hole on Team Xecuter and Gary, I highly recommend the Darknet Diaries episode in which Jack interviews Gary and goes through the history.
