Terrible acting
Terrible dialogue (which stallone wrote for himself)
Terrible plot
Terrible 80's haircuts
No hamburgers
Brigitte Nielsen in swimwear
Entertaining car chase
Well, technically speaking, it's more of a completely-unrelated-in-everything-but-name-(and-of-course-the-sixty-zillion-tons-of-testosterone)-mickey-take-and-immeasurably-better-than-the-pathetic-ego-trip-of-a-film-in, but if you're pushed for time then calling it a tie-in is OK, I suppose ;)
Did I read somewhere that the C64 version was different to the Spectrum version, BTW? Did it not follow the Speccy version's template, or was that a different version (CPC or whatever?), or am I just going senile?

completley different, i use to get the same game on both systems the 64 version tried to follow the film more closely, no need to say any more on that. I had a similar moment of disbelief when i played Dan Dare on the 64
I haven't seen it, but isn't there some scene at a diner involving a giant plastic hamburger?
And Brigitte Nielsen, you say?
Oh god yeah that scene is awful, sly picks up the plastic hamburger whilst brigitte is eating her chips soaked in ketchup (like a model would eat that!) and says "here's your entree ma'am", a terrible terrible attempt at humour. Or maybe that's the idea lol

In short: I loved it :smile:
(although it's not as fun as the game)
