But, in addition to honoring the classics, the film revisits such cult films as Megaforce , the megabomb starring Barry Bostwick (“the good guys always win... even in the 80’s”), The Beastmaster, The Sword & The Sorcerer, a low budget Conan cash-in and Liquid Sky , a film about miniature aliens in New York who thrive on heroin and sex.
