this movie do not do well at the box office and be not a commercial success by any mean . it be and in my opinion and one of the best comic book to movie film ever do . with such a wealth of material to draw on and i do not know how richter be able to keep the running time under 3 hour . i catch the banzi band wagon a little late in the game ( first view it on tape around 1986 ) and have see it about 3 time but never seem to tire of it subtle ( and overt ) humor and colorful and well form character and clever and original premise and terrific ensemble cast . all i want to know be representwheres the sequel they promise u at the end . ( positive ) .
