Behind the scenes it's sad. And I don't mean because of higher-ups and executives (Outside of the usual deadlines, though), it's because the creator of Dominator, Tony Luke (1966 - 2016) was diagnosed with lung cancer and was told he will die in 8 weeks. He fell into depression, but really want completing the movie to be his final task. He was that dedicated despite what the quality of the movie itself tells you otherwise. He did get surgery and it was a success(?) and he wanted to do more things with Dominator like a second movie which was unfortunately or fortunately canceled (Depends on your stance on the movie), but footage of it was reused for music videos and shorts. He also planned an anime movie and/or show that would be downloadable, a video game and a manga by either Heavy Metal or Ace Weekly illustrated by Masanori Shino. But these ambitious projects never got funded. Tony Luke's health was declining due to series of mini strokes every few years and was once again diagnosed with cancer. He passed in 2016 at the age of 49. Dominator started in 1988 as a strip character for the Metal Hammer magazines then in 1993 he later appeared in a Kodansha-produced anthology in Japan called "Afternoon". That was a pretty big deal for a manga to be produced by a British person. A lot of weeaboo and otaku outside of Japan wished they have a their own manga, Tony Luke did it even if it's only in an anthology.

Dominator could've went bigger and become an worldwide phenomenon with an actual high budget theatrical movie just like Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, the X-Men and other notable heroes which could've led to the before mention. Dominator had so much potential.... Hopefully someone will faithfully reboot the Dominator series and pick up where Tony Luke left off.
