I didn't realize Chani was played by the same actress that played Rachael in Blade Runner and Lt. Einhorn in Ace Ventura, Pet Detective.







FWIW, Lady Jessica and the Emperor's daughter were also quite attractive.

Sean Young was hot back then. Yet she did not age well.

Jokes aside, cool movie.  Hard book to read in my experience.

And there was that thing with James Woods back in the day.

First book not that bad. I read the second barely. Third never could finish. Writing style just could not do. Think I got 40-50 pages in and said nope.

That mirrors my experience. I liked the first one, after that they were pretty awful.

Great movie - the part where the Navigator folded space was trippy.  The part where the Navigator comes in and threatens the Emporer is a classic.  Heck I even liked the video game.

She was also Russel Ziskey’s love interest in Stripes and the escort that bonked Kevin Costner (Yuri) and then was murdered by Gene Hackman in No Way Out.

How about " No Way Out " opposite Kevin Costner ?

looking back, Dune drew heavily on Islamic themes. Paul was an anti-messiah

From the movie it would appear so. From the books the religion is a mixture of Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism.

I read the fist three books and lost interest.

Currently reading Butlerian Jihad by his son it is about the war against the machines.

Extended version of the original dune movie is a lot better.... sci fi channel mini series follows the book much more closely

Enjoyed Dune, the book.  Read the entire original series by Frank Herbert and did not get a lot of it; seemed to fly right by me.  I read them again a few years later and enjoyed them a lot more, as they seemed to make a lot more sense then.  Then later read all the continuation books in the series by his son and some other guy who was an actual writer.  They came across as contrived to me, and lacked the occasional interesting turn of plot his father presented.

Lol she is crazy and was super hot. She once sewed James woods into bed sheets while has was sleeping and beat him with a curtain rod, cuz he smacked her around.

Never saw the movie...
My parents got me the book as a young kid, thinking it was somewhat similar to Star Wars...  It wasn't...

I would not mind seeing the movie if it was on TV or Free, not something I'd pay for...  I don't think its on NextFlix...

She was definitely on the wrong side of the hot/crazy graph.   She was nice to look at in her youth but that girl was off her rocker rather completely.

The movie, while visually cool, was a disappointment.  I don't know what level of cocaine consumption it took to convince everyone that Paul and the Fremen needed an electronic doodad to rule the planet.  Your basic garden variety wild Fremen was fairly destructive on his own, and once properly taught to focus that destructive energy they were invincible.

Was a cool movie to watch in an old run down Art Deco theater slated for demolition after the movie had it's run.  I think there were maybe four people in the audience that night.

The Weirding Module.  Terrible decision.  The Fremen were badasses because they grew up hard as fuck, a product of their environment.  The effects of ecology on a people was one of the major points Herbert was trying to illustrate.

Holy cow, I'd keep that under wraps.

The sequels are pretty dry, but the first book has always been a hit with middle-school kids.

Loved the book, movie was meh. Sequels had great moments and some mediocre ones as well. The stuff he wrote at the end of his life was not great, and his son’s continuation is awful.

Sean Young- incredibly hot, nutty as a squirrel turd.
