No, I haven't seen that one. I did rather like Misa-Dark Angel and Parasite Eve (quite good medical SF, if a bit over-directed in places... read somewhere that the book it was based on has a darker ending... wonder if I can find it in English). Dark Soldier D is pretty bad, but also seems sort of enjoyable too (not as campy as Attack of the Killer Tomatos or Toxic Avenger, but makes a nice Halloween-time filler to make fun of, especially when the main character goes after a monster chicken). Then there's Zeiram (wish I had a sub copy instead of the dub), which is sort of like Laural and Hardey meet The Terminator... it's so stupid that it's good (the related anime, IRIA, is actually quite good and interesting, and even has a dub track that isn't painful to listen to, though I'm a sub fan, but it's more of an adventure focusing on the relationships between characters rather than a comedy)
