Cherry 2000 (1987); dir. Steve de Jarnatt.
Have you watched Cherry 2000? I must have seen its ridiculous exploitationy cover on the shelves of a thousand video stores over the years, but it never appealed. It wasn’t until I saw Steve de Jarnatt’s delightful 80s cult apocalypse romcom Miracle Mile for the first time recently that I thought to seek out his other films—sadly, he seems to have made only two: Cherry 2000 and an awful-looking Rick Moranis comedy I will probably never seek out.
Anyway, here’s Cherry 2000 in its entirety. It’s my new favourite dystopian sex robot comedy ‘about’ the 80s terror of feminism!
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the cult of Mithras, the Roman mystery religion.
