Continuity: After Archie shoves the car jacker into the trunk, the would-be thief shoots a hole in the lid through which his blood squirts as he is made into 'fuel'. The hole, and the rag Archie uses to block it, are no longer visible when Archie throws the crippled veteran into the trunk, but reappear later in the film when he pulls out the rag so that the car will run out of 'gas'.

Quotes:

Archie Andrews: Puppies... You killed that girl with puppies... Things are changing man, get it together!

Decent idea...that's about it

The opening scene has to be one of the most pretentious things I have ever seen in my life. I loved it. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie falls flat on its face.

This is a prime example of companies like Troma trying to make B-movies. A good B-movie is the product of someone trying to make a serious movie on a low budget but fails horribly. The end result is a movie that has a certain charm to it that isn't over the top in its comedic effect. This movie, on the other hand, wants to come off as laughable and ends up too forced.

If Troma's your thing, go for it.
