Trivia
The high-tech "injector" used several times by Dr. Newmeyer is actually a butane soldering torch sold at Radio Shack stores in the US.

Goofs
Joe Keyes is shot by Detective Waters' gun without being harmed. Later he says to Waters, "You saw the effect a .38 had on me..." However, Waters' weapon was an automatic (possibly a .45), not a snub-nosed revolver.

Quotes
Joe Keyes: This is not a perfect world. In a perfect world, evil loses.

Somewhat cheesy, but fun

Caught this on TV last night and had to watch as Michael Biehn is a particular favourite of mine (Hicks.....cool). Basically alien nano-things (reds) that repair the bodies cells and make you effectively immortal take residence in a small girl. She possesses the only reds which do not decay within hours (deep reds) so nasty scientist type wants said little girl to make himself immortal. Emotionally battered Private Eye tries to protect little girl, to save not only her but to redeem himself.

The basic premise is pretty standard stuff, and the sci-fi involved is never delved into in suitable detail, things tending towards the twee and convenient. But hey, forget about James Cameron and Ridley Scott, turn off your brain and enjoy some pure cheesy old tosh!
