A well-done 80's Comedy with the swing of great action, 30 October 2002
7/10
Author: Radon13 (Radon13@gmx.ch) from Marburg, Germany

Here is another of my personal favourites 80's comedies. A solid production with a marvellous Anthony Edwards and a bad-ass Forest Whitaker. Lots of the scenes have an unique Choreography.

A good surprise for 80's fans!!
