I cast my mind back to my youth in the late 70's when it comes to this movie. I remember when "The Movie Channel" was the only game in town and this movie was in the monthly rotation. I also recall my brother and I, killing ourselves laughing at the one liners - not even realizing that the actors' voices were dubbed. The fight scenes in it were action packed (reminded me of the OOF! and BAM! of a good Batman episode) and the plot had enough in it to keep a 9 and 12 year old glued to the TV with rapt attention. We watched it so many times busting a gut laughing and quoted the same funny lines from it when it wasn't on....
That having been said, it is a bad movie, bad enough not to buy or rent, but if it ever showed up on TV again (probably would have to be the 3am "Insomniac Theatre" or something similar) I would have to tune in for just a moment....just to cast myself back to a simpler time...
Most of the comments in this forum are subjective things anyway and my review of this movie is no different - I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone - if it was made today it would receive a scathing review as unimaginative and goofy - but from a 9 year old's perspective, it was the most hilarious and entertaining thing a kid and his brother ever saw in their lives.....you had to be there to understand it...
