Viewing Notes
Cannon Day! for Junesploitation and saw a mutual doing this one so I decided to do the same since I haven’t watched it properly (first time was at B-Fest when I was exhausted and delirious). Ofc it’s goofy but totally earnest. All the adventure stuff is fun. The final showdown with Lynch is really the only letdown.
The Paul brothers are perfect for this and the premise is great. Wish they would’ve made a sequel or two. Smitten with Eva LaRue, who looks like a few of the girls I went to HS with and dug that look. So eighties!
I love this movie and need to buy it on Blu. It would be a fun movie night flick.
