What do you mean Wigger ? Mirage ? That's so racist. But the movie was awesome. WAYYYYY better than the lame sequel FAKK 2. I wish more american animation would be as cutting edge. Love the magazine also.

Hot animated movie, this was always a fave of mine since i was 11 in 1993 watching this and taping off TBS in it's censored version. Then when i was 14 in 1996 i bought the uncut version with all the nudity and gore restored in, i've always had a thing for Taarna since i was 11. The soundtrack rules too!

I just saw this movie a few weeks ago on VH1 Classic and I could not think of the name. Pretty cool movie though.

Great movie, the sequel was kinda dumb.

Kick ass movie. Definitely one of my top animated features from the 1980s. The sequel sucked.
