I saw this when it first came out on video when I was 10. It wasn't earth-shaking, but it stayed with me. I never saw it again and it was never referenced, but the whole thing stuck with me- and ultimately that's the litmus test for something special.
Bear in mind this film most certainly didn't get its first choice of actor for any role, or director, or budget, but it did a good job with what it had!
And its vision of the future is surely prophetic... Kris Kris was given a couple silly lines to say. Some parts move pretty slow by today's standards but were typical for back then. That time would've been spent doing much more world-building nowadays. Given how few people have seen it, particularly amongst younger folks, I'd say it's a prime candidate for a remake!
