Watching that movie, I longed for Ed Wood to rise from his grave and pick up the directors' megaphone once more.

No, I've never seen the '87 version of The Spirit. But I'm very interested to check it out, not only to compare, but because I loved “Flash Gordon” as a kid!

Thanks for the tip.

It just seems to me that, even though this was a cheapie TV movie starring Sam J. Jones of “Flash Gordon” fame, it was a lot closer in spirit (no pun intended) than Miller's “Sin City” wannabe.

It's such a striking look, why do it again for an unrelated film? That killed my interest in seeing it. It had a "been there, done that" vibe to it.
