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.
