One man, one boat, one child, one bust = one good oldie :-)

Its fun to watch *some* old movies. I've been transferring last box of my father's VHS tapes to discs, when I found this little gem. Yes, it is old, it has been poorly edited, and it shows its age - in some parts. But it is still funny, something I cannot say about many of other very old movies. The tape itself was in poor condition, originally released in 80's (recorded in mono, probably on 2-head VCR), so normally I would have pass on viewing it, but this movie kept me glued to the TV screen from beginning till the end :-) Without giving away its plot, I must say the story is believable, the action and its limited special effects (explosions mostly) are sufficient, and the acting is *not bad*. Certainly, after so many years, this movie is still more fresh than most of the modern low budget production ladden with high quality FX and brainless plots and awful acting... If you're looking for an hour+ of fun, with hint of action - this little movie is for you.
