This was my favorite "forbidden" film when I was a kid that my dad had recorded on a VHS. Even as a kid I thought these effect were terrible but my mom was sure I would get nightmares from how "realistic" they were, and ofc when I got older I started having nightmares about horrible CGI coming to make movies bad.

The priest on fire is actually the first use of motion capture in a full length movie. It had previously been used in commercials and music videos, but Lawnmower Man holds the claim to first movie that uses motion capture. 18:35

(Kinda) Fun Fact: This was directed by the same person directed Virtuosity and Highlander: The Source. Yeah, the director's skill was deluded over time.

Shhhhhhh....Lets just pretend that Highlander: The Source never actually happened.

So, Strange story time, the CG animators for Lawnmower Man did get their sequences in a video album that came out the same year. In fact, in some ways their uses there are much better than in the film. So if you just want to see the pretty graphics, Check out Beyond the Mind's Eye elsewhere on youtube in full form.

I mean, he already did the bad version of The Shining, so unless he was getting ready for a Doctor Sleep review, I doubt he'd do a review of the good Kubrick one.

It's a cult classic because of the sheer creativity of this VR scenes, I'd take that over modern uninspired CGI, however competent.

let us not forget this movie's important contribution to soyjak culture being Cobson, the only good coal soyjak.

Can confirm, virtual reality was 100% like this in the 90s. Our local theater had a VR demo that you could try for $20. It was rediculously disappointing, but it looked so futuristic.

Woooow. We're just gonna stand there a watch a man abuse his son. You're James Bond for crying out loud!

When Stephen King would rather have himself connected to time traveling meatballs (langoliers), aliens that poop out of your ass (dreamcatcher) and incestuous cat creatures (Sleepwalkers) than this movie, you KNOW crazy shit's gonna happen!

I have a soft spot for this movie, own the blu ray with both versions. Yeah, it’s cheesy, but as a disabled person I relate to Jobe’s character. Fun fact: my acting colleague was the soldier who holds back Pierce Brosnan when the chimp is killed in the director’s cut. Also Pierce was grieving his wife’s death during filming.

This movie is one of those that really influenced me as a kid...and it still holds a special place in my heart(even with the bad CG)....ok time for a rewatch
