The Borrower

[Romero&Juliet]

GREATTTT follow up for the director of Henry... Not really what I'd expect from the guy, as its a little light and VERY cheesy.

Sci-fi crime flick (think The Hidden) about an alien criminal whose punishment is to live on earth as a humanoid.. As he adapts to the environnement, he finds himself becoming more and more susceptable to human vice.. and even worse: whenever he does something unhealthy, his HEAD explodes! the whole movie, basically, is him walking around and trying to find new replacements for the exploded heads.. Meanwhile, a bunch of bad cops are tracking him down and get nowhere.

Fun stuff.. great gore and a whole lot of cheesy bit actors (LOVED the black dude..).

Anyone see this?? I dont think its very obscure (I've seen it for sale in a number of places) and it'd VERY worth checking out.. especially if you liked Henry and want to know what the guy (john...something!) is up to.

Isnt this the one with Rae Dawn Chong in it

[Romero&Juliet]

Tar Man: yep!

XCoRyX: It has held up over the years and I'd totally reccomend it.. However, I hiiighly doubt that it has gotten DVD treatment.

Is this the one with the cover of a guy with some glasses on holding his head with both of his hands?

Cause Ive allways been curious about it but never gotten around to checking it out. I know it got some decent reviews!
