Comments on: Musings: Painkiller Jane http://www.kickassmysticninjas.com/2005/12/27/musings-painkiller-jane/ The Kick-Ass Mystic Ninjas are here to bring you a new perspective on old school science fiction and fantasy.

The guy who she was fighting in the mall was one of the bio-expert's men. He got her blood because he infiltrated the facility. Then he took her blood and isolated what he needed, then he used that to make himself and his lackeys impervious too. Didja notice how her Colonel friend had been fatally shot at the mall meeting, but how her blood conveniently dripped into his wound, helping heal him? There's only been one time when something like that has been done and I liked it, and that scene was in a 4th season Angel episode (with Jasmine). No one in her squad survived exposure.

If I remember right there is a guy that was in her squad that ended up fighting her. How did he survive long enough to take advantage of Jane's blood? And why didn't they grab her when they got him?

It seemed like the style they were going for was disaffected youth laced with angsty attitude. There could have been a little more energy put into the acting. But don't get me started on the plot convenience of the security breach by the bio-expert. It just wouldn't be pretty :) Fred, on the scale of previous SciFi Channel Original Movies, it’s definitely on the higher end, but when I see what they used in the story, I can only imagine what they had to work with, then wonder why it couldn’t have been used better.

Reminds me a bit of that 1986 TV pilot "I-Man" starring Scott Bakula: http://imdb.com/title/tt0091248/combined Am I the only one who remembers that? I think they showed it as part of that Disney Sunday night TV movie series, remember? Fast healing? Reminds me a bit of that 1986 TV pilot “I-Man” starring Scott Bakula:

I remember thinking they tried to go with style over substance, and they didn't quite make it. Saw it myself, thought it was okay.
