	The Lawnmower Man (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		At a Glance: The Lawnmower Man, a drool-inducing sci-fi disaster from the early 90's, was supposed to be a touching story about stupid people and how they can become more intelligent with the help of fancy virtual reality devices.
		I saw the critically unacclaimed "Lawnmower Man" about eight years ago, and then immediately tried to train myself never to think about it again by using Punch Therapy (every time I thought about it I punched myself) but despite my best efforts I maintain a pretty clear memory of that godawful movie.
		The VR mode's terrible graphics are made up for by the gameplay in the same way that Macho Man Randy Savage's grating voice and terrible music are made up for by his lyrical ability and his fantastic grasp of the English language.

	The Lawnmower Man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The lawnmower man eventually deploys an 'aged red power mower' which autonomously mows the lawn while he crawls in its trail on all fours, naked, devouring the grass.
		Jobe (Jeff Fahey), the "lawnmower man" of the title, suffers from a form of mental retardation; he lives in the garden shed owned by the local vicar, Father Francis McKeen.
		Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace was released in 1996, and was retitled Lawnmower Man 2: Jobe's War for the video release.

		Lawnmower man and the monkey strike instant friendship, however the government agents track down the monkey and shoot him.
		Lawnmower is devastated (he has identified the monkey as one of his comic strip characters come to life), and so is the scientist.
		LAWNMOWER MAN is good scifi entertainment, with marvelous effects, but suffers in the performance of Fahey, who is totally unbelievable as the gentle Jobe, but who does gain some credibility when he becomes malevolent.

		Dawn broke, wet and bluish grey, and the lawnmower sulked in the shed.
		A tone which implied that not only could I forget any ideas I may have been entertaining about servicing her anytime soon, but that almost any man would do a better job than someone who was clearly incapable of fixing her infernal grass molester.
		But thanks to her beloved majesty Queen Liz II celebrating her official birthday on this date, I knew that the lawnmower man would not be at his shop and her threat was as hollow as the triumph I was feeling at having outwitted her.

	Lawnmower Man 2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		In this thriller that slows the heart rate, a Dickensian crew of techno-ragamuffins living under the streets of LA, led by Dr. Trace ("the Einstein of VR"), sets out to rescue the world from the Lawnmower Man, who survived his techno-meltdown in the first film to invade computer networks.
		The Lawnmower Man's MO is nothing less than the takeover of all computers, and through them the virtual world.
		The plot developments are unsurprising, the acting is underwhelming, and the audience is unaffected by the sheer mediocrity.

	The Lawnmower Man (1992)
		The short story was a tongue-in-cheek piece about a Pan-worshipping lawnmowing service that used remote control lawnmowers who mow the head off a guy who discovered their secret.
		To the film's credit fragments of the story are retained - the image of the remote-controlled lawnmower chasing a victim through his house, mowing up the carpet and leaving their severed head in the bird-bath, and even two or three lines of dialogue.
		The film was followed by an utterly laughable sequel Lawnmower Man II: Beyond Cyberspace/Lawnmower Man II: Jobe's War (1996).

		His trials and tribulations while tackling his overgrown lawn became immortalised in one of his poems after he killed a hedgehog nestling in the long grass of his garden.
		Now a 17-month correspondence between the poet Philip Larkin and a lawnmower company in which he details his gripes about a new machine are to go on display this week.
		The letters, to be exhibited at the British Library from Friday, appear to show he was so upset by the incident that he could not bear to use the Qualcast Commodore any longer.

	Laramie Movie Scope: Lawnmower Man (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		April 30, 1992 -- ``The Lawnmower Man'' is a film which has very little to do with lawnmowers and a lot to do with Stephen King, who wrote the novel on which the story is based.
		Those of you who followed King's television series ``Golden Years'' have seen this basic plot before, a man is exposed to a dangerous government experiment and some mysterious government agency, maybe the CIA, targets him for kidnapping because of special powers he has developed.
		Despite the familiarity of the plot, which reminds one of ``Colossus, the Forbin Project'' and ``Frankenstein,'' the acting is good and the special effects are top-notch.

		So loosely based on a Stephen King short story as to constitute fraud, "The Lawnmower Man" goes right to the bottom of a growing list of failed King adaptations.
		The first film to capitalize on interest in "virtual reality" technology, it does boast some dazzling computer animation sequences, including a sex fantasy/nightmare.
		"The Lawnmower Man" is rated R for profanity, violence and sexual situations.

	Lawnmower Man
		This may be the movie based on a story which has the least amount of carryover from that story.
		The only connection this has with the short story is the name, and perhaps the use of a lawnmower (although even that isn’t quite true in the short story).
		This movie is about a computer genius who uses a mentally challenged man as a guinea pig to test out his theory that virtual reality can be used to increase intelligence.
