The copy I had had the narration, but I turned it off after like the first line and found a director's cut.

That was a seriously great film.

Ebert seems to agree too.

Another question if I may. Ghosts of Mars is one of my favourite go-to mindless films. I feel like I read a thread here a couple years ago discussing 'siege' films, which mentioned Assault on Precinct 13, but also an older Western in that vein. Am I remembering wrong? Was it High Noon? I could be way off base, but I'm certain I read that Mars was based on one of the classic westerns.

Thanks! Also, Ghosts of Mars is far better than it has any right to be.

Oh, Outland must be the High Noon style space remake, his wife just left

How cold are fire extinguishers? In the film the blob, they use a fire extinguisher to freeze the bioweapon that the US government created that crash lands in a town. Can a fire extinguisher get cold enough to freeze something?

You can get ice crystals forming during discharge. I think youd be pushing it to actually freeze anything though.
