This week we look back at Sam Raimi's darkly comedic superhero film Darkman. Released in 1990 and starring Liam Neeson and Frances McDormand, Darkman tells the story of a brilliant scientist who exacts revenge on the gangsters who brutalized him and left him for dead. Inspired by the classic Universal Monsters films and taking inspiration from The Shadow and Batman, Darkman is a unique take on the superhero genre and would pave the way for Raimi's Spiderman trilogy of the early 2000s.https://www.spreaker.com/episode/darkman--74756690

Their previous film Delicatessen, released in 1991, was described as a zany post-apocalyptic black comedy in the style of Terry Gilliam. Based on the success of both Delicatessen and The City of Lost Children, Jeunet would go on to direct 1997's Alien Resurrection and 2001's award winning romantic comedy Amelie.The City of Lost Children not only got its own Playstation game, but would also become a huge inspiration for both the Fallout and Bioshock video game franchises.Fallout designer Tim Cain listed the film among the cinematic influences on the game's art direction, and later said that elements of Fallout's power armor and technology aesthetic drew from the film's helmet eyepieces, tubing, and vents.This movie is also inspired the visual design of the video game BioShock (2007). From the scene of the man in scuba gear carrying a child to the parts where she climbs and descends from the pipes look like they came straight out of the underwater city of Rapture.
