    • Trivia
      Anneline Kriel did her own stunts.
    • Goofs
      During the slow motion bullet time sequence at the end, no imprints from the gun barrel's rifling can be seen on the bullet. This indicates that the filmed bullet was never shot through a gun at all. Rather it was part of a simple, but effective, special effects sequence.

      Kandy Kane: My father has been working for several years on a project to extract fuel from potatoes.

    DUDE, LIKE, THIS BE SOME BAD POTATO JUICE, MAN!
    I can't believe I watched this entire movie, but I just couldn't stop! The main bad guy has a terrible fake beard, who has kidnapped a doctor that created a chemical from potatoes (?!) that hypnotizes people to be slaves. There's a chick with fire-engine red dyed hair. The plot seems to have been written by a 3-year-old. The 'funny' parts are just plain painful. Guys float somehow by using martial arts techniques. This reminded me of an A-Team episode on stupid pills. Although, this movie was made by morons, it was entertaining. So what does that make me? Watch out for the evil potato!
