I've seen both of these films, the 1st was best.

I've only seen the 1st one and loved it. I'd like to watch the 2nd one though and compare them.

[chris]

It's worth seeing Rob.

...the second is interesting because:
A) it is special FX guru Phil Tippett's directorial debut
B) it was made with 5% of the budget of the first.

[Owen Watkin]

Only 5%...Wow

At the risk of sounding like Molly Meldrum... everybody do yourself a favour and read the original Robert A. Heinlein novel.
