One of my favorites. I have to ask with an A-list cast, how can this be considered a B movie?
As @Num10ck mentioned, so quotable.
I think my original copy is on Betamax, also have on vhs and disc.
Never did learn why that watermelon was there
I meet the author of the book at a convention years ago and asked him about the watermelon. He said someone higher up started micromanaging the director big time about halfway through the movie. Director put it there without anybody’s approval so there would be one thing in the movie that was his decision alone.
Personally, I submitted it mostly because I thought it fit the aesthetic of an 80’s B movie. Plus, it was a huge box office flop that has since become a cult classic, which seems like another characteristic of B movies.

Thank you. The element of absurd rebellion fits the movie perfectly.
