GUNHED (1989). Such a promising action/adventure concept, such (usually) lovely production design, some quite decent visual FX... all marred by plodding direction and a sloppy, schizophrenic script. A good rewrite which expands and refines certain aspects (the setup, the characterisations, the deaths of most of the characters so that they don't happen in the first ten minutes) and condenses others (such as the whole final act), and keeps the film at a tidier, quicker running time (maybe 80 minutes?), along with more stylish and coherent direction, might turn it into quite a memorable ride. At least I've always thought so
