Abstract
This essay proposes a slipstream cinema along the lines of slipstream fiction proposed by Bruce Sterling - and suggests that it is where we might find the cinematic legacy of Philip K Dick, rather than in the typically disappointing adaptations of his work. It then considers two superhero movies - Special (2006) and Dai-Nihonjin/Big Man Japan (2007) as potential examples of a Dickian slipstream cinema.
