More “Behind the Face, the Computer” greatness.
Psychedelic-florescent on white like Peter Max with carny font. An acquired taste.
Shit-poster that someone thought was a good idea. Human face is replaced by normal door; scary guts by evil land, conveyed by people trying to escape from it. Grade: C-.
The famous “Utopian Gesture” of 1976 had been a long time in the making.
The “good” (safe) ones are exposed and archetypal working class.
Similar to Blade Runner here, with the compassion and all.
Cute and tender moment.
This nameless buddy had his face removed just to get past a retinal scanner door lock.
Main bad guy: deactivated. See below for the procedure.
The cleanest BTFTC removal operation in film history.
All three “Behind the Face, the Computer” scenes in one video!
