This movie is so quintessentially eighties it hurts me to watch it. In particular the garish, lifeless electronic score really grates on the nerves. There’s a hell of a lot of yelling coupled with some seriously hamfisted acting which makes up for the lack of a plot (well, maybe makes up isn’t the correct phrase) and makes one wonder if everyone on set wasn’t sampling a little of the product during shooting.
