Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to his book "If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B-Movie Actor",Bruce Campbellmentioned that McHale's crew were rarely given specific instructions in many scenes other than to followTom Arnoldaround. He andFrench Stewartwere not given any direction at all for their sequence in the talent show, so they scripted out a vaudeville act using naval and nautical terms all by themselves. Despite this, most of their sequence ended up playing in the background while the camera focused on Arnold andDebra Messing.

Featured review
The acting isn't the best and the story line is pretty stupid but it's a fun movie. Don't over analyze it because it's supposed to be a funny and retarded movie.
Why else would Tom Arnold be in it? lol
If you are a serious or uptight person who only appreciates high budget awarded winning films than don't bother watching it. On the other hand, if you are like me and enjoy watching all types of movies from low budget yet entertaining disasters to box office hits than you would probably enjoy this movie.
I love Tim Curry as Vladikov. He is a great actor and always does extremely funny roles.
I love this movie.It was extremely cheesy but it is so entertaining. When ever I want a good laugh this is one of the films I watch.
