      Rachel: [Rachel says goodbye to Stryker in a sweet way] See you later, sugar.

    Eight on the fun meter!
    Awesome Guy movie! Everything you would want and more from a mid Eighties action flick... While being more low budget that most Hollywood films this didn't feel like it, while the acting wasn't gonna gain any awards it worked! Just fun, grab some beers and friends kinda movie! A must watch for anyone who enjoys some cheesy action from the eighties
