Absolutely love this movie!
I remember discovering it at random, and finally managing to persuade my local video store to sell me their rental copy (back before DVD and when lots of VHS stuff didn't get retail releases) if nobody hired it in a month. I still have that tape! :) Of course, I have it on DVD now too.
The Imp looks cool, and is a wonderfully silly yet cool vocal performance. The hero is actually likeable, and Linnea is badass and awesome (I always love when she's not a helpless "victim" and I wish she had more leading roles as I think she's one of the best "scream queen" actresses we've had).
The movie really knows what it is and goes for it, tons of "fun" nudity (rather than outright sadistic torture porn) and cheesy zany horror and cartoon violence.
Oh, and the movie is justifiably famous for that sorority spanking scene at the start, too... :)
Definitely one of my favourite random finds in my days of VHS library hiring sprees (along with the likes of Highway to Hell, 84 Charlie MoPic and Lifepod), and still one of my favourite b-movie horror cheesefests, from back when horror films could be genuine fun rather than always unrelenting grimness.
I'm guessing Simon or Arat will get the "belltower fight" scene, with either Michonne or Sasha in place of Andrea. This would make sense as a moment in the finale that made actors happy (a certain liked character's death is hinted at, then shown to be that they survived).
Even if its not the moment referred to (and I agree All Out War is next season for sure), I think Arat will still get that death scene. I do hope we keep Simon around longer because I really like the actor. :)
