Another thing I thought of upon re-viewing, is this movie really set the template for a lot of first person shooters, right? With the helmet cams and vitals and whatnot. I'm not much of a gamer, but that really reminds me of how a lot of games are set up. At the least it set the template for "Contra," or so I assume. "Contra" was 1987.

yeah contra is heavily ripped from this, including a lot of the boss visuals and stuff. and it reaches FPSes almost immediately if without such 1:1 connections in DOOM, whose creators had obviously seen this about ten times each.

(OK, xpost, but I guess Biehn and his wife Jennifer Blanc were producing a line of grind house films? Maybe I saw a press release for one of the more salacious titles and got the wrong idea?)

A lot of the movies lines were nicked and appeared in various FPS games.
