Dawson’s Complaint (01/03)

An offbeat black comedy trilogy about, in Les Dawson’s own words, “a man coming from nowhere, going nowhere” and what happens to him in transit.

Les Dawson was disappointed with the reception the series received. In his 1985 autobiography “A Clown Too Many”, he wrote: “Alan Plater, the writer, had an idea which we titled The Loner. In this I played a man coming from nowhere, going nowhere, and it was about what happens to him in transit. There was a trilogy of them, and like most things I’d done, frankly, it was ahead of its time. It was performed without an audience present and the whole thing was shot as a black comedy. Again, I incurred the wrath of the press, they simply could not see the situation, and Yorkshire dropped the idea of doing any more.”

Future War is a 1997 American direct-to-video science fiction film about an escaped human slave fleeing his cyborg masters and seeking refuge on Earth. A race of evil cyborgs kidnap humans from Earth’s future to use as slaves, and take dinosaurs from the past to use as trackers. One of their slaves, the Runaway, escapes and makes his way to present-day Los Angeles. There he must fend off the cyborgs and their trackers, the police, and the government, befriended by a prostitute-turned-nun who runs a halfway house

IMDB Trivia:

It was featured on Red Letter Media’s Best of the Worst: Future War, the Jar, and White Fire (2015), where it was indeed deemed the Best Of The Worst.

During filming, producer Dave Eddy and some other crew members remarked that it would be great if the film someday appeared on Mystery Science Theater 3000 (1988), which it ultimately did.
