Definitely worth the watch. This tongue in cheek 80s action comedy is totally worthy of its cult status. Is it weird? Yes. Does it take itself too seriously? There's a character called John Bigboote (Big-boo-tay!), you tell me. Peter Weller, John Lithgow, Christopher Lloyd, Clancy Brown, Ellen Barkin.

Dont take it too seriously and have fun with it. Thats what movies are for.

As much as I desperately wanted to like this I really didn't. So slow, dull and poorly scripted.

Disappointing; the best thing about it is the title.

fake-cult; doesn't deliver any promised feats.

Just plain awful. Doesn't have the appeal of a b-movie.

Worried, wondering if worth watching...it's on Netflix. Like other comments, bad for quite good, particularly the acting from Lithgow (not stating if bad or good), but likes say it's pantomine :)

Enjoyable enough, so much films on various lists which e.g. have quite low scores on IMDB compared to some IMDB "gems" but on no lists. Thankfully, the other films I've seen on the other lists are worth it too.

You rarely see so budgeted trash. What the hell were they thinking? Definitely on the amusing scale of bad.

I'm 100% sure that everyone who worked on this film were on a cocaine overdrive - every single one of them - from the author of the script, the director, producer and down to the focus puller, best boy and the little black kid that saves the day. Well, maybe not the little black kid, but the rest of them were riding high on a mighty white stallion! Oh, the 80s. No wonder I hate that decade.

After that informed comment, I think I'll pass.
