Tanya Roberts Nude Scenes:
On the disc’s main menu, select Extras. Highlight the Main Menu entry and then press Right on your remote: This will highlight a circle. Press Enter and the circle will turn into a reptilian eye, which then takes you to a few scenes of Tanya Roberts getting partially nude. As if the beating they give this woman in her bio isn’t enough, you now get to see various scenes that you can just tell she had less than no desire to participate in. Ah well, it’s a guy movie…
Ferrets, bad acting and cleavage, oh my!
Oh, sweet Jesus, where to even begin with this one. Remember how it was so fucking good back when you were, like, thirteen and they showed it, non-stop every two hours for ten years solid? Well, we were young, and foolish….
The REAL making of the movie:
Before I get started into my review, have you ever thought about how this fucking movie got made? I mean, really. I think about it sometimes, I think about a lot of things, for example, how Snickers bars are made. I think, and this could just be me, that the two processes are pretty much the same. Let me explain. Ok, if you don’t already know, Snickers bars are made by pirates. What they do is this: They take the bar in it’s pre-chocolated form(just nougat covered in peanuts) and load it into a cannon, they then light the cannon and the bar is shot across a waterfall stream of caramel and then chocolate. It then lands gently in a large cooler that, at one point, used to have slabs of meat hanging in it. Small monkeys then go and collect the bars, they are then put into laundry baskets where they wait to be wrapped. "Wait!", you say, "How do they make the mini’s then?" Well, it’s very simple, the monkeys will take a bar, put it in a freezer until it’s rock solid then smash it with a hammer. They pick up the pieces and put them in separate laundry baskets to be wrapped.
Uh, Bel?
Sounds like a pretty expensive way to make a movie, or a candy bar right? On the contrary. You see, the monkey’s work for bananas, the pirates grow bananas: Everyone is happy. Granted, you have your general labor and gun powder expenses, but it’s not like you have a full work force, just a few sweaty guys running around packing cannons and watching trees grow. You really don’t use that much gun powder either, to shoot a single candy bar, you can cut back to almost a tenth I’ve been told. It’s not a bad life, hell, I’ve often times thought of giving it all up to go and smash some candy with hammers….
This is what happens when you drink bad milk, white bits of crap floating in it should have been your first clue….
Now that we know how this movie, and Snickers bars are made, doesn’t it kind of piss you off that you let your boyhood memories con you into paying the $13 they’re charging for this shit? I kind of want to crack myself on the head with a hammer right now. In closing, the movie still sucks, but the disc is actually not too bad. It has a pretty nice booklet with a lot of original art(to help you realize just how far the actual dreams of the creator had fallen), a gallery of posters and, of course, the amazingly embarrassing theatrical trailer.
