I stand corrected.
I knew the concept was proposed in the 50's, but I didn't think the design work started until 1962 with a maiden flight in 64.

Either way, it's still goddamn awesome.

Upvote for the Iron Maiden style!!

A lot of these (the Iron Maiden in particular) were actually just made up in later years by people who wanted to do exactly what we're doing now.

There definitely was torture in the middle ages, but they generally weren't quite as gleefully inventive about it.

yep, my backpack in highschool.... 1 or 2 schoolbooks, whatever fiction I was reading and about 20 cassettes 'cos you never know if today was a Slayer day, an Iron Maiden day or a Sepultura day (I listened to a lot of metal in my teens)

I really wasn't a fan of Nirvana when they came out. I was heavily into metal (Iron Maiden, Metallica, Sepultura, Slayer, etc) and Nirvana just sounded like a boring watered down version to me.

It wasn't until much later that I realised I was looking at it from the wrong direction. Nirvana were a pop band who used heavy guitars, and that was kinda cool.

I don't believe we will ever see another band with their influence again. Mainstream music today is much more fragmented, so even if someone came along and radically altered hip-hop, for example, the influence would be felt far less in other genres.

Iron Maidens are more his speed...

I have played Blood Dragon.....3 times now.


@9547bis 's point still stands. 80's revivalism/nostalgia has been with us before either this or Blood dragon (I'm pretty mad into my "retro synthwave" at the moment)

Blood Dragon has
No Nazis
No Thor
No "Hacking through time"
No Bright red 80' sports cars
No Vakyrie warrior maidens

i.e. basically anything in common other than being inspired by the cheesiest elements of a particular decade.

Plus Blood dragon while also being very very silly had a somewhat more realistic edge to it than this and draws more on war and sci-fi films & games. Rather than the broader action & kung fu film strokes in this trailer.

I'm not saying there can't have been maybe a touch of inspiration/motivation from blood dragon, but the material they have produced so far bears no resemblance to me of a rip off in any way shape or form.


It's like saying The Last Starfighter was a rip off of Starwars.
Last Starfighter may have been motivated by the success of Starwars but the resulting film felt entirely original (well as original as any standard format hero epic).

hangin'-out with a group of those North Korean traffic-directing maidens at a karaoke bar then after in the suite would have to be on my bucket list...after the re-working of the parallel, of course (*pencils in, between naked Moroccan hooka desert party and spelunking Montauk Air Force Station on acid)

Fuck yes!

When people speak at me, I rarely listen. I'm too busy thinking to myself:
Do you even listen to Iron Maiden, bro?
