hey humanoids
just received another nice email from star Leonard Mann, including a
cool annecdote about the making of the movie:


" I just received a DVD of the film which I had no idea existed.
From your last e-mail I began to surf around and found a copy with
Japanese subtitles. I watched the film the other night with my wife
and she enjoyed it as I did. I did not remember it being so good.
I thought about a funny story about the making of the film.
When I was signed to do the film the crew was sent over a couple of
weeks before I was scheduled to go. We were first supposed to shoot
in South Africa but at the last minute Israel was chosen due to
production needs. Before leaving for Tel Aviv the Italian producer
called and asked me to carry my costume with me since they had been
late completing it. I, of course agreed. Little did I know. When
I got to customs in Tel Aviv the Israeli producer who was suppose to
meet me was late. When the Israeli customs officers began to open
the boxes I had brought containing my uniform discovering what I
guess they thought was something dangerous. They immediately
summoned security officials who began to interrogate me. They would
not believe I was there to make a movie. They insisted I was up to
something and they wanted me to come clean. It took several hours
before the producer finally showed up. As you can imagine, I was
angry. Looking back on it now it seems funny, but I can assure you
it did not while they were grilling me about my motives for going to
Israel."

with a few new pictures. other forthcoming updates include fangoria
