For Clan and Honor
For Clan and Honor was a tri-vid film directed by Joe Bruckson, released circa 3132.[1]
Overview
For Clan and Honor, intended to be the first in a series, told the story of star-crossed lovers among Republic of the Sphere-resident Jade Falcons. It portrayed the Clans quite loosely. A young freeborn factory worker (played by Ann Ralston) and a trueborn MechWarrior (a genetic descendant of Aidan Pryde played by action star Placard Johannsen) fall in love against the freeborn's genetic plan (given to her when she reached her age of majority) and both of their families' wishes, and decide to escape outside the Republic. The trueborn's superior (played by character actor Rick Azura) catches on and, when the lovers prepare to the local starport, brings the freeborn's parents to stop them. Separately, the trueborn's father learns of the plan and heads to stop his son from fouling their bloodline.[1]
Through coincidence, both fathers end up dueling, the trueborn's killing the freeborn's. The freeborn's mother barely gets her away before the trueborn's father can kill her too; her lover, unaware of this, is convinced she was killed and decides to sign himself up on a combat mission, hoping to die honorably and reunite with his love in death. Before he can do this, however, his father forces him to have sex with a genetically perfect MechWarrior (played by former porn star Akitta). The film ends with the lovers separately shipping out from their planet.[1]
On 1 August 3132, ComStar FilmNews Today published Garret Deloray's review of For Clan and Honor. Deloray was unimpressed with the film, which he saw as just another one of many Clan-themed Romeo and Juliet adaptations, one with a contrived script and (with the exception of Rick Azura) almost universally poor acting.[1]
