I wonder how much editing was actually needed to match these up. I suspect it wasn't very much, which is a sad commentary on how formulaic contemporary film making (or at the very least contemporary film trailers) have become.

The tone at least is spot on. The combo of kid superhero and bloody gore wouldn't really fly back then, but for an homage/parody that doesn't matter.

I guess I got the joke with FC3: Blood Dragon. So much so I'd rather have a sequel instead of Far Cry 4.

But I've been watching a lot of '80s post-apocalypse movies and '90s pre-Matrix cyberpunk films and they really didn't need to have a date attached to the scenario to tell you it's the future. It doesn't matter if it's 1990 to tell me that the Bronx has gone to poo poo and there's warrior gangs running around it or that it's 2019 as long as it's after the fall of New York. poo poo, I've joked that all those Ozploitation post-apocalypse thrillers don't even need to have dates or timelines, they could all be the same continuity.

That "it's the year 1997" just tells me that they're being "oh so ironic".

Edit: Actually, I think it's the fact that Blood Dragon literally comes out and says it's 2007 in the first 30 seconds. It comes straight out and tells it's an homage to those films and sets up those expectations, while Turbo Kid leaves it for last and the joke lands like a wet fart. You don't have to explain the loving joke, trailer, I can see it's an '80s post-apocalypse pastiche from the guy in the skull mask shooting circular-saw blades.

I can't stress how badly I would want to watch a Final Destination movie set in the Terminator universe.

Instead of SkyNet sending robots back to kill John/Sarah Connor, they send death itself. Various Rube Goldberg-esque pitfalls develop. A hard R rating. Arnold fits in somewhere.

Like I said, I liked it but didn't care for the "1997" joke. I'll probably end up seeing this as well and share the trailer with friends, so don't get me wrong, I don't dislike the movie, I really just thought it didn't stick the landing with that joke.

I like that you picked up on the reference to 2019: After The Fall Of New York. I'm actually a big fan of Sergio Martinez's/Martin Dolman's work and have watched this and his Terminator-inspired cyborg assassin thriller, Hands Of Steel, almost constantly. In reference to After The Fall Of New York, the big thing about that is that there's a lot of worldbuilding presented inside the format of the movie. It does bog down with exposition, especially at the beginning, but a lot of it is well-represented in a show-not-tell manner, like the cyborgs, the whole license-to-kill system, and genetic damage from the war resulting in somewhat believable mutants, ranging from dwarves, to hermaphrodites, to ape-men. The only disappointment is that you can tell that they were reusing a lot of props and costumes from Starcrash, which seem too far futuristic for the setting. They could have easily just given everyone Beretta M12s subguns and SPAS-12s instead of those goofy crossbow lasers.

I was hoping someone would've gotten the 1990: The Bronx Warriors reference, but oh well.

Personally I just think this brand of ironic retro nostalgia is beyond played out at this point. It was cool when Drive and Hotline Miami were doing it, FarCry Blood Dragon is maybe the last one where it still feels fresh, and even by then it was starting to be redundant.

Like how about instead of putting all this work into going "look at how 80s retro-future cool this is nudge nudge wink wink", someone just tried to make a sincere movie of the calibre of The Terminator or Escape from New York, without any of this ironic bullshit. Those movies weren't memorable because they were trying to in-joke to something from 20 years before, they were memorable because they're awesome movies, period. Same reason I can't stand Planet Terror or Machete.

The Guest is maybe a good example of a modern version of those genres that's legitimately good on its own terms without having to wink at the audience every 5 minutes.
