In the future (I think) there's a semi-secret company that produces special order sex androids for rich clients. One of the clients decides she doesn't want her male love clown anymore and throws him on the street. He wanders around the streets (amnesia and mute) until he's found by a street woman who wanders the city making maps so others who have amnesia will be able to find things (?). Meanwhile the organization who made the sex clown (which apparently consists of a perverted business guy, his secretary who vomits cherries for all to enjoy (and damned if they don't), and a small group of retrieval agents who are either cartoonishly cowardly or have made a hobby out of child abduction) spring into action to try and find the sex clown before the horrible thing that for some reason they built their machines to do happens. The clown eventually learns how to speak again (by going bonkers in a grocery store) and the two make love. After doing the nasty, the map girl goes kinda crazy and after chaining the sex clown to a block of concrete and beating him up she calls the company. Soon the Sex clown really crazy, obtains super strength, and runs about 40 miles while screaming and dragging the 600 pound concrete block. The movie resolves itself with a bunch of Dragon Ball Z style fighting and people pulling their own heads off.

Moment of Madness: In one of the running scenes, the sex clown cyborg is running through a crowded street screaming, and the look on the witnesses is one of pure terror. The reason this is especially crazy is because the movie is relatively low budget, meaning that these people are probably actually witnessing this madman and expressing ACTUAL SHOCK.

Bullshit or Reel?

Reel, its name is “964 Pinocchio”, a cyberpunk flick from Japan. An interesting sidenote about this piece is that it was quite inspired by both “Tetsuo: the Iron Man” and “Possession”, it even steals the “Possession” subway vomiting scene. Another interesting fact about this flick is that it was done in both color and black and white, adding to the surreal atmosphere of the overall experience.

A bunch of Art freaks in New York city (who live in a closet on top of a sky rise in the early 80's) attract the attention of aliens, who land their paper plate on the roof and begin zapping to death anyone who orgasms. There's a lot of pretentious art jabber about how great it is to be transsexual and indulgent of the excesses of the era. One of the two women who live in the building becomes aware of the aliens, but she is immune to them because she is unable to orgasm. Eventually after several people die by her … hand, she is gang rapped by her female roommate and some indulgent lackey witnesses and her roommate dies from orgasm poisoning (or whatever is happening, I think the aliens are zapping out their brains and doing them like drugs or something). The un-orgasming woman goes through an Apocalypse Now-like montage where she applies neon paint to her face under a black light while giving some speech about the David Bowie era, then leads her followers of on a quest to kill a bunch of people with the power of sexing it. There's a subplot (sort of) involving a guy who was tracking the aliens and came to New York to prevent them from killing again, but gets to busy having dinner parties with some frigid bitch who lives across the street from the art closet, and becomes rather apathetic about the situation.

Moment of madness: At one point the un-orgasming woman's old art professor pays a visit, and then forcefully pays another kind of visit on her. After he dies, the woman is rather freaked out, but her roommate thinks it's hilarious, and decides to keep his body in a wooden trunk on their patio incase they want to have sex with him.

Bullshit or Reel?

Reel, this movie is called “Liquid Sky,” and god in heaven is it a hard movie to watch. Ever seen a movie that felt like you'd been watching it for at least an hour, only to realize that just minutes had past? The film really suffers because of its dated feel (late 70's / early 80's). Despite its flaws, the movie is A little bit famous because it was one of the first movies to address the danger of A new kind of social disease called AIDS.
