Center
Primary
Pulse Pounders, an anthology of 1980s B-movie horror and sci-fi segments, focuses on apolitical genre conventions without promoting or critiquing any specific political ideology, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features primarily traditional casting, consistent with its era and genre, without explicit race or gender swaps. Its narrative does not critically portray traditional identities or center on explicit DEI themes, focusing instead on genre conventions.
Secondary
The film's segment adapting H.P. Lovecraft's "The Evil Clergyman" portrays the story's canonically male narrator as a female character, constituting a gender swap.
As a compilation film consisting of trailers and clips from various B-movies, 'Pulse Pounders' does not present identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's format precludes the development of narrative arcs or character portrayals relevant to LGBTQ+ identity, resulting in no depiction.
The film "Pulse Pounders" is an anthology of three horror/sci-fi segments. There are no identifiable transsexual characters or themes present in any of the segments. The narrative focuses on supernatural horror, sci-fi action, and fantasy challenges, without engaging with gender identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Pulse Pounders is an anthology film, with its segments either original or adapted from source material without widely established visual character designs that would allow for a race swap. No characters were canonically or historically established as a different race prior to this film's release.
