I love that movie, it's really too bad the square bodied shields turned most people off from it.
I never heard complaints about that as a problem, vs. all the other ones. The new version was a lot better, but this was in the 80s, so they did pretty good.
it's not perfect but it has attitude. Something the new ones decidedly lack.
It's got David Lynch among other things.
Say what you want about De Laurentiis but he took chances like a motherfucker. Any other producer with that kind of big budget project would've hired someone who would do the job just fine. But Dino's built different so he hired a guy who did Eraserhead because it would cool. True G.
