    Identify the film 2

    There was a VHS a family member rented out thirty years ago which I'd like to see again. I was only about five at the time and the film had to be rated 15 or 18.

    It was a sci-fi film set in a dystopian future. The plot was about bumping off the evil dictator (who looked a bit like that bald bond villain) and at the climax of the film the heroes killed him. However, as an epilogue you then saw another copy of the dictator being pulled off a production line (a genetic clone or android).

    Stylistically the film looked a lot like "Escape from New York" and for a while I wonder if that actually was the film but I don't think it is.

    Any ideas?

        Maybe the film is one of those listed at Top 50 Dystopian Movies of All Time

        (That site has an obnoxiously in-your-face popup about an iPhone, but it is quite small you can still pan down the page.)

          Sounds like Flash Gordon, except for the future bit, and the clone bit, and.. ah feck it. It's not Flash Gordon

              Cheers for the links but that's not it. I reckon it must be a bit of a video nasty though.

                Yeah it was the ending which was quite memorable, I don't think I'm ever going to find out what it was!
