Topper Harley is found working as an odd-job-man in a monastery. The CIA wants him to lead a rescue mission into Iraq, to rescue the last rescue team, who went in to rescue the last rescue team who... who went in to rescue hostages left behind after Desert Storm. The President is Tug Benson, who also likes to be in on the action. Basically, it's a send-up of all the big shoot-em-up Rambo/Robocop/T2/Commando-type movies. Written by
Rob Hartill
At one point during the sequence which displays an on-screen body count tally, the movie boasts an ostensibly higher number of deaths than Robocop (among other famous shoot'em ups). Miguel Ferrer, who plays Harbinger in this movie, also starred in Robocop , and ended up 1 out that film's 30 strong body count. See more »

Only a master of evil, Saddam.

Your powers are...
[Coughs, then takes a puff of primatine mist and his voice is back to normal]
Saddam Hussein:
Your pows are weak, old man, you should not have come.
President Thomas 'Tug' Benson:
We'll settle this the old navy way: first guy to die, loses.

It's surprising how much fresher this movie looks and plays compared to most other spoofs of the 90's. It's a reminder (which you may need after watching films like "Dracula:Dead and Loving It") that ANY genre can work with the right amount of effort put into it. Maybe it does have a few duds here and there, but there are far more surrealistic gems along the way ("Geronimoooo!". "Geronimoooo!". "Meeeee!"). One of the best of its kind. (***)
