Video: Action Cats are Awesome!

Anyone remember this commercial parody from Saturday Night Live, back in the day? I saw this as a kid and totally wanted it for our orange tabby at the time.

It's like the Dinoriders toys, but AWESOMER, because they fit onto a REAL CAT.

Perhaps these are the feline heroes of a forgotten Department of Defense program, now called back into action to protect Gamma Terra?

In any case, they also kinda reminds me of Gammarauders these days too (which I picked up a while back, and I'll need to do a full review of soon).

Still wish they actually made these. Forget Laser Cats and give me Skele-kitty!

Gamma Theater: "America 3000" (1986)

Al over at Beyond the Black Gate posted a picture in his regular Friday Frazetta's for a movie called "America 3000". Set some 900 years after the apocolypse (which, of course, occurred in the 1980s!) the world is reduced to rubble and ruled by women (Amazons?). At least its Wikipedia entry says as much--and not much else.

Here's a bonus clip of the film's highlights "in under 10 minutes" which is both sad and hilarious:
