‘Blue Thunder’ was described as one critic as ‘big dumb fun.’
Despite that it’s always been a sentimental favorite of mine.

“Lifeforce”
That would be the undead-alien invasion movie where the alien Matilda May walks around nude for the first 45 minutes killing humans.
That’s good writin.

He did Dark Star too? I shouldn’t be surprised. Probably one of the most underrated Sci-Fi movies ever. RIP, sir.

Rest in peace, Dan “Pinback” O’Bannon. Your contributions to film were greatly appreciated.

Return of the Living Dead was the best film ever. It was nothing but mindless (brainless?), pointless, ridiculous fun, with an a**-kicking soundtrack to top it off. Who could forget the line "Come in, dispatch. Send...more...paramedics!".
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Alien was the best sci-fi monster movie ever. Dark Star, Lifeforce and Heavy Metal were fun, too. Sad to hear. And too young to die. RIP, Mr. O’bannon. You gave me many, many hours of “terror-joy” and entertainment.
