I was just thinking of a flim and i believe the actor was jack nolte , he was kinda a scifi copper looking for folk that kinda turned into zombies.Might even have been a pi.
It was low budget but i think it spawned a couple of follow ups.
Anyone got any ideas.

No idea...
first thought it was "Manic cop" but don't think that's it!
any more form the movie?
According to IMDB Jack Nolte's only Movie was "Revenge of the Killer Tomatoes".

I was so wrong on jack nolte , hence why i couldnt find the name.
It was trancers , with Tim Thomerson.

Thought you meant They Live for a minute, with good old "Rowdy" Roddy Piper.
I'm reliving the eighties with movies these days - more cheese the better.
Managed to cringe all the way through Battle Beyond the Stars, Biggles (Adventures in Time), The Eliminators (Tasha Ya never looked so good!), Maximum Overdrive (ROFL), Meet the Feebles (cringe), The Wraith (love it love it love it). Electric Dreams still one of my all-time favourite movies, too :D

anyone remember 'Night of the Comet' :D
I remember all those movies Brumster.... Watched they live at the weekend... it's on at least every other month on Sci-fi channel :D
Talking about 80's movies...
There was one that i've been trying to find out about.
plot is basically:
A man, close to death. is surgically implanted in to an experimental Mars suit / Space suit and requires a white "blood" substitute to stay alive...
I clearly remember the end of the movie. the guys wife and child walk by a museum display of a proposed human landing on Mars. The boy turns to the Space suited figure and waves saying "Hi daddy"...
The name of this movie has been bugging me for years..

Master..
Think it was a stand alone movie rather than Martian Chronicles or Twilight zone episode... As i remember watching it on a VHS tape..
but might be wrong...
