Curzon Soho, I thinkYou're right, it was radio signals, and they had to keep moving around the island as well, because certain sectors became 'hot' and would blow up any neck bombs in the area.
Bonkers film.

the film was ok,but mostly style over substance it has to be said.
If you were thinking "hmm, I know I'll try and make a cult film the kids will love and adults will be awfully shocked by", you'd make that.

Maybebut I was over there when it was released and saw the hysteria about juvenile crime...
This is a country that is currently shitting itself because as far as they can see , the kids are going out of control.Young people don't want to work in the oppressive environment their parents accepted, there have been several murders caused by teenagers and the Japanese don't know how to deal with it.
The measures they are talking about are extremely right-wing and ANYTHING that causes them to pause is a good thing.
Besides which it has KIDS BLOWING UP!!!!!!
Yees!!!

Nah it didn't really stop themthough I mean, the Japanese penal system is a total joke.
It's a mixture of naivete about crime and who commits it ( Koreans and Chinese , according to them) and fascism ( regular beatings for prisoners, no jury system, no rights for prisoners) which has left them in the position of not being able to do anything.
Then again in the 2 years that I lived there I never once locked my front door so they must be doing something right...

what wereyou doing there for 2 years?
(a friend of mind got busted in spain for drug dealing. He got put away in prison for a while no interpreter, no explanations, no one told him how long he'd be in there... after a month they let him go. Odd. He was guilty but odd nonetheless. He thought he might be in there for years)

Same as everyone else over thereTeaching English.
It's funny, I miss and and don't miss it in equal measure.
On the one hand, good money, good food, some beautiful places no crime, you feel totally safe , hardly ever rains....
On the other hand, rampant racism, sexism and conformity as an art form.

well it is in the running manafter being framed for commiting a crime, arine is label the butcher of bakersfield and is put into a prison camp with a neck collar.
then you see some futile escape plans as some idiot runs past the barrier and *boom*. luckily for arnie his hax0r friend uses all his skills and the gate is open and they run to safety.
i know i'vee seen in it in another cheesy 80's film , it's not exactly original
aprologies, this film is lying around in my flat and regularily gets watchedwhen we're drunk

I believeit's Fortress with Christopher Lambert, although I may be wrong.
And they use the same idea in Battle Royale also
