Catching up on old stuff here, but you know that Rogue Trooper movie mentioned in the RT Annual?
Could this be the film that ended up as Paul WS Anderson's 'Soldier' later in the 90s? I know that's more-or-less acknowledged to be a Rogue Trooper adaptation, and if anything it's based on the War Machine idea of a super soldier being sent to a battleworld and then has to face off against a new, improved but soul-less new super-soldier.

I actually saw Harley Cokeliss at a Q&A screening of Battletruck but I don't remember him fielding any questions about it.

Interesting - it's not a film I've seen so don't have a frame of reference on how close a rip-off it is.  Are we talking Robocop or Hardware levels?

[AlexF]

Oh, not at close as either of those. He (Kurt Russell in this case) isn't even blue!
But he is a genetically engineered soldier with more of a conscience than his superiors would like...

Soldier, a movie that made me famous among my friends because I once did a tight five making fun of the concept of a "garbage planet" which features heavily in the movie's plot. For the record though, using a planet with a breathable atmosphere to dump all your trash is stupid, if you can move trash from one planet to another why not just dump it into the sun?

"For the record though, using a planet with a breathable atmosphere to dump all your trash is stupid, if you can move trash from one planet to another why not just dump it into the sun?"

Because then where would you send Universal Soldier to have fun adventures while you're having important boardroom meetings?!? You gotta have a handy trash planet saved up for special occasions.

The fact that it prevents Universal Solider plots is, if anything, an additional bonus!

In our thrilling two hundred and thirtieth episode Fox and Conrad continue their journey through the Galaxy's Greatest Comic with Progs 704-707 of 2000AD, covering November & December 1990. This episode...aw jeez, what happened to my XXXXX rated movie?

Notes: Conrad is aware that Caligula wasn't actually rated X, and that Lord Kitchener is the UK Uncle Sam, not the US one. No need to write in about it!
