Dollman (1991)


Brick Bardo is an intergalactic space cop who finds himself 13 inches on Earth. [Hold for laughter.] This is basically Full Moon's answer to a science fiction version of Puppet Master. Featuring Tim Thomerson (of the long-running Trancers series), and Jackie Earle Haley as Braxton Red, Bardo's sworn enemy, this one is charming in a way similar to old '60s sci-fi features. It's the type of silly premise that's easy to laugh off (and encourages it), but it kind of occupies a strange, happy place in your memory.

Great, now you've got me imagining Watchmen Babies. I imagine it's much easier to get clearance from Wagner's estate and Dylan than Disney, so it might actually manage a physical release~
