Early HBO movie.  A bit difficult to watch but a very good flip on a Bladerunner vibe.
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

Yeah, that was a fun B-movie.  Despite the low budget, the weird noir setting is interesting. 

Something reminded me of it last year (playing Eldritch Horror or some such).  I had forgotten the name of it for a long time; finally tracked it down and watched this YouTube version.  I had actually seen the movie back in the 90s (on HBO I guess?).

The sequel wasn't quite so in-your-face with the weirdness but it wasn't completely terrible. 

Wish there was more weird magic alt-history stuff like this, of higher quality. 

There was another movie, not quite as old as this, which featured two friends in some weird modern occult magic setting that was interesting, but I can't recall the name of that one at all.  Probably made for Showtime or something... I dunno.  It was similar but had a bit more comedy focus IIRC.  That one came out in the 2ks I think.  Wish I knew wtf it was called.

Yeah.. I suppose.  John Dies At The End was closer to what I was thinking.  They're few and far between.
