The title should remind you that this is nothing to take serious. It also seems that they where -thank God- aware of that when making the movie; it's based on a comic book for pete's sake! That's it's only real asset; irony. This is the first film where I actually thought David Hasselhoff was fun to watch. Far from hysterical, just plain fun-if-you-havent-got-better-things-to-do. Playing the cigarchewing Nick Fury with an eyepatch he reminds us somewhat of Snake Plissken in "Escape From New York" and "L.A.", however the movie itself is far even from the standards of "Escape From L.A.".
