Let me count the ways...
12 July 2009 | by – See all my reviews

This movie is great if you're having a bad movie night with friends and like to MST3K it up. From the goofy disco music throughout (it's not even cool disco music) to the bad acting, this movie is almost a waste of time - except if you have friends around to make fun of it! The plot has lots of double crosses and I think it could be remade very well.

The copy we have came with 100 trivia questions on it that were unintentionally funny. For example, a giant CORRECT! or NO! pops up on the screen. Or, after showing a clip, the question afterward is "What is the number on the police car?" The quality of the copy was very poor and the sound quality is absolutely terrible.
