524 Nomads ( 1986)

 European  exiles ( Pierce Brosnan, Lesley Ann Down and  erm, Adam Ant) take  the lead  roles in  this  silly and  rather  pretentious horror set  in L.A. Brosnan plays a  French ( cue  horrendous  accent ) anthropologist  who  dies  in  hospital  whereupon  the  female  doctor treating  him starts  reliving  the  last week of  his life. These  mainly  involve  trailing  a  group  of  street  punks and  making  tenuous  connections to  tribes  he  encountered  in his  earlier  travels.

Lesley-Anne Down ( as  Dr Flax )

Sex : No

Death : Survives


This  was Lesley-Anne's first film  for  five  years following  the  disaster of  Sphinx. In  the  mean time  she  had restored  here  reputation  in  the  mini-series North And South

Anna-Maria Monticelli ( as Nicki )

Sex : Nicki has sex with her  husband

Death : Survives


Anna-Maria was  an  Australian  actress , mainly  on  TV and  this  was  actually  her  last  film. Down  has  suggested  she  was  having  an  affair  with  director  John McTiernan  at  the  time. She  wrote and  produced  two  screenplays  in  the  noughties  and  seems  to  have  retired  from  acting.

Mary Woronov ( as Dancing Mary)

Sex : No

Death : She isn't human 


Mary  has  no  actual  dialogue  in  this  one.

Josie Cotton ( as Silver Ring)

Sex : No

Death: She isn't human


Josie  is  more  famous as  a  singer  and  songwriter notable for  the  song "Johnny, Are  You  Queer ?" This  was  her  only  film  role.

Jeannie  Elias ( as Cassie )

Sex : No

Death : Implied  that  she  is  killed in  a  car  crash


Jeannie  plays  the  voice  of  sanity in  this  film.
