Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 1 of whom clear the calibration test. 3,140 other films from the 1980s form the cohort it is ranked inside. Only 38 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 40 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
