I saw this movie in the late 90’s. It is not extremely popular or I would have found it again. I think it was made in the mid 90’s but not sure.

I really remember the first scene of the movie for some weird reason. Guy is drunk and is using a large pipe cutter to cut down parking meters. He get arrest and sentenced to prison for civil disobedience ( they used codes for all the crimes in the movie).

After that the guy is sent to desert like prison where other prisoners are afraid of him because the code (crime) he committed is usually for killers. Older bad dude is trying to rule prison area and at first tries to be friendly then its a fight between them. At the end i remember his saying that “your the same as me” because the old dude thought he was a killer but he reveals truth that he was just a protester.

Not star kid (1997)….. Just throwing that out there.

I saw this movie series on hbo in 1999. The plot is a bit fuzzy but from what I remember there was a kid who was fighting this alien commander guy. The commander guy would send like aliens and bounty hunters (also aliens) after the kid. It had a very power rangery vibe with the aliens being in costume. Kid had a space ship with artificial intelligence and i think some kind of super suit or just advanced tech. He would fly around and try to stop commander guy. I remember one scene in particular where he was trapped in a (terribly animated) blue box like force field and was waiting for his suit or gun or something to recharge to escape. I don’t know if it was a movie or a mini series. It did have several 2 hour (episodes/movies), around 5, I think.

Thanks, I just remember loving this movie series and wanted to let my kid experience it. Sorry it’s so vague.
