How incredible is Tom Atkins, and his mustache, in this? Why would you bring sexy lingerie on a trip to uncover why your father was murdered? How about that wild-ass score by John Carpenter and Alan Howarth? Why are all the murder-bots set to ‘pulverize’ mode? Does Dr. Challis have a Bond/Moneypenny thing with this coroner character?
