Because of the rating my mother took _13 year old boy_ me to see it in the cinema, she knew I liked Dr Who and thought it was like _Quartermass and the Pit._ I spent a lot of the movie hugging my knees to my chest - but not out of fear. To say the meal at McDonald's afterwards was awkward is a understatement.

My copy is on VHS!!! I loved the movie and still pop it into my VHS player once in a while. One of my reasons for loving Lifeforce was it starred Steve Railsback who played the character Charles Manson in Helter Skelter and was delighted to see him in a couple of episodes of The X Files! I loved Lifeforce too because it was so campy, serious but comedic at times! Being a bit sexy with the two beautiful actresses also didn't hurt!

I think this movie is amazing. It's such an odd mix of tones, styles, and genres - Hammer-style gothic, Quatermassian cosmic horror, zombie apocalypticism, 1950's conspiracy, and the very current (for the times) one-upmanship in horrific practical effects, interlaced with an exceedingly DePalmalike sexual paranoia and even some Spielbergian wonder. I can absolutely see how audiences and critics absolutely rejected this weird mutant stew of a movie, but to me it is all of a piece, full of propulsive energy and pervasive dread and an overpowering horniness just as naked as Mathilda May.

Thanks for doing this one Minty, I'd asked for this in the comments only a few months ago. I really need to see the longer version now as I haven't seen this film for a long time but remember it well as when I was a young teenager I recollect a big article about it in one of the UK Sunday paper supplements at the time making me want to see it.

Seen this movie about a dozen times since it's release. I feel I enjoy it more every time I watch it. I would recommend watching it 3 times before final judgement. I love this flick.

Badly underrated and always worth a repeat viewing - if only to admire MS May's talents - with more than a few memorable scenes, the crazy blood image in the helicopter is a standout. Remember I found this as a £1 bargain bin video back in the day, believe or not with a copy of Bladerunner for the same price

I loved this movie! 11:20 Wasn't it said that Lucas came up with the design for the Millenium Falcon after he ordered a burger at a diner and it arrived with a pickle hanging out the side?

Depends on who’s telling the story. I’ve heard a hamburger or a pork sandwich, two slices of pizza sticking out of the front and an olive on the side.

I remember buying this from a bargain bin on VHS tape format, during that time when most video rental shops were closing their doors for the last time. Paid about £1 for it. The cover looked kind of interesting although I knew nothing about the movie or the cast. Mathilda May was well worth my £1. Wow! she was hot in her prime. 😍👍

Thanks for this 10 things episode. Love Lifeforce, actually only watched it for the 1st time 5 years ago, even though I'm an 80's kid who is also a movie buff. Somehow this just slipped past me, but so glad to watch it when I did. Makes me appreciate the 80's even more.
