The movie was inspired by the short story. The screenplay is actually by William Gibson, the original author.

But it is a historic case of executive meddling. The end product was a huge disappointment and a commercial flop that many studios apparently took as a warning against attempting to adapt cyberpunk to the big screen.

My wife loves it for the camp.

Yes! Though they don’t get much screen time or introduction.

My wife utterly loves the movie. She’s watched it so many damn times.
