not "Balde Runner" it was more of a conan/road warrior type thing.  At one point he's standing on top of this aztec monument going "i'll poison your water supply!" my girlfriend in high school used to say that I'll the time "I'll poison your water supply"

I suspect this to be Never Too Young to Die, wherein Simmons plays a evil super bad guy (or maybe bad gal -- wardrobe is most unhelpful here) who plans to destroy the water supply of Los Angeles.

  Hhhhmmm....I can't say that what you describe sounds familiar to  me Raffles...However, if this helps to somehow jog a thought, [even though I know it's not the information you're looking for] when Gene was toying with the idea of being an actor....there are just some things that shouldn't be toyed with....he did star in a distinctly "B" level sci-fi movie with Tom Selleck called RUNAWAY. [As, of course, the bad guy!]  

....Y'know, now that his KISS gig is ending - which I'm totally skeptical about. It wouldn't surprise me if he and Paul Stanley continued on with different guys in a strictly studio capacity.- and with all due respect to his impressive career, I'd love to be a fly on the wall and witness an aging Gene Simmons in his family life. Couldn't you just picture him, even heavier than he is now, [Yeah, like we weren't going to notice his increasing girth sticking out beneath the costumes!] sitting with beer in hand, surrounded by six or seven nieces and nephews at some family thing?.... "Uncle Gene! Uncle Gene! Do that weird thing with your tongue again!"

For more laughs regarding Gene's foray into the world of acting, check out an older thread, also started by yours truly, entitled "B Movie Kisstory". Everybody's comments on it are hysterical! AWK!

Ozzy had some success solo. Black Sabbath was still pretty popular in Europe with that Dio guy.  Aerosmith has had hits of course.  I mean obviously all these groups best days were before the eighties, but Kiss seem to have accomplished the least since then.  They basically perform Kiss Alive every night. They should've just taken a 20 year vacation

Dio? - Jesus, is the vertically-challenged mutant still going? He is without doubt the most un-Black Sabbath vocalist I have ever heard. Ritchie Blackmore and he deserve each other.

 Ok, I think I've made an important discovery.... Excessive thought about B' movies may have the unfortunate side-effect of messing with one's short term memory....[Well, at least I havn't started melting or something.] I'd completely forgotten, Raffles, that you'd already graced my earlier, KISS related post with your comments until I ran across it again just now. Looks like I'm deserving of the "Zombies Would Ignore You" award for that one. I'd like to...sniff...thank my mother and Anothony Michael Hall.

....Zombies eat brains....and if one doesn't seem to have any....Y'know? Aw, just skip it.  8)

The name of the movie is called RUNAWAY it stars Tom Selleck its one of my favorite crappy 80s scifi , its one of the few movies directed by Micheal Crieton (yes the guy who writes those books like Jurrasic Park) I recommend it highly.

BTW this is my first time on the board so be gentle :)

Steve.

Is that the one where Mr. Magnum chases a itty-bitty robot around a field. Or was it a car-park?

Ian "GameZMaster: Nathanson

theres alot of chasing of robots, i dont remember a field but there are a few scenes in a car-park (as the british say) during the climatic end.

Steve.

That's the one - extremely crappy indeed (as we British say).
