Reply to comment by kylepm in Trying to figure out WHAT this 80s movie was... by patrick99e99

That was the zest of my jest.

As far as rating THE defining cyberpunk flicks of that era...I'd have to go:

Strange Days

eXistenZ

Johnny Nmemonic

Lawnmower Man

...and I suppose that low budget arthouse first year philosophy crash course The Matrix can duke it out with Tank Girl for an honorable mention.

However...worthy of note...Strange Days featured a absolute banger of a Skunk Anansie choon on the soundtrack:

I saw this in early 1994, all of these movies were made after then... I believe this movie was from the 80s, as it featured a LaserDisc...

LaserDisc continued until like 2000. If anything, LaserDisc had its most "popularity" in the 90s.

ok, well this was on the tv at a motel I was staying at while skiing in early 1994.. It could not have been a new movie at that time, so it has to be a film from before 94.

The only other 2 I can think of that have 1st person pov shots around that time is Brainstorm (1983) and The Lawnmower Man (1992)
