It's funny that they say never released, but I remember watching it when I was young and seeing it in many video stores, unless there all buying bootlegs too lol. I remembered it being cheesy but it's pretty vague to me now. Probably just as good as the new one would be if they didn't have todays effects.

theres no way you have seen it back then davehaddad. The leaked copy of it was not available until 1997, that was when it first started turning up and the chances a video store actually renting out a bootleg copy of a purposefully unreleased film is not possible. No video store owner would risk his lively hood because it was already known to be a bootleg publicly and if it came back to the video store they would have been sued for millions. Actually, if thatdid happen, then maybe they could have afforded to release the film. It could have sold well, little kids were superhero crazy then.

All I can tell ya is that I watched it a long time ago on VHS, rented from the video store, way before the DVD renting days, they had some laser disks at the time. So maybe it wasn't 94 but I know it wasn't 98 I moved from there in 97 so I don't even care anyways its a movie.

What really ticks me is that Stan Lee lavished huge praise for the very silly Japanese
Spider-Man
TV show, with its giant monsters and robots, and Spider-Man telepathically communicating with his mentor who has become a spider, while dissing the Corman-produced
Fantastic Four
. Cheese is cheese, no matter what nation it comes from. Looks like Stan the Man, who's ego has outgrown Jim Shooter's, needs to meet Doc Samson for a few sessions.

I bought a copy at a comic con 3 years agofor $20. Yes, you heard that right, but that was the price of all the bootleg DVDs there being sold, and I was desperate to see this film in all its cheesy glory. (The other bootlegs I have are Batman: Dead End, Star Wars Holiday Special and Harvey Birdman Season 1) I've watched it a couple of times and all I can say that's its decent, with a good-looking Thing, Rebecca Stabb as Sue and a Doom that resembles the comic version better than Julian McMahon did.
There's so much pressure to like monkeys. -

A mate gave me a copy on dvd and it's appalling lmao. View it as a comedy and you may enjoy it, but don't expect to take it seriously. The "special" (and I use the term at it's loosest) effects are well. I don't know if I can comment on them coz I couldn't spot any. And the Thing! Looked like a Tortoise with a hangover. Funniest film I've ever seen.

i would LOVE to get my hands on this gem. have tried to see it before, but sources are slim. i see lots of copies on eBay, but none of them specify that its the 1994 version and honestly, i dont want to own the 2005 version.
i have renewed interest in this one after seeing Captain America last night. wow. they need to make superhero movies like these ones again!!!
any help on sources would be greatly appreciated! -

I'd give Doom and Ben both a nod in the right direction over 2005's. I love Julian McMahon as Christian Troy, but he is one awful Doom, not entirely his fault, electrical powers in the first, and a glorified Power Rangers villain in the second.
