Viewing Notes

A ridiculously stupid movie that’s all over the place but it’s so ridiculous that you don’t have to worry about taking it seriously on any level and can just enjoy the great practical FX and over-the-top amount of violence (like, cartoonish levels of violence). This movie could only have been made in the cocaine-addled Hollywood of the ‘80s.

I may have seen this back in the day because some clips of it seem familiar, but pretty much just counting this as a new watch.
