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.
