Trivia
This movie was filmed primarily in Houston, TX. It was the brain child of well known furniture outlet owner in partnership with Chuck Norris and his Kick Drugs out of Schools campaign, Jim "Mattress Mac" McIngvale, produced and invested 8 million dollars on this movie.It is believed his relationship with Chuck Norris, who starred in many commercials with "Mac" came to him with the idea of creating this film. In McIngvale's book, Always Think Big, he states going into film and producing was "extremely hard work". See more »Goofs
When Norris and Barry walk into the bar in the western fantasy you can see the two glasses of milk that they order on the bar before they order. They disappear in the next shot and then reappear as the bartender hands them the milk from under the bar. See more »Alternate Versions
The original UK video version has an entire scene removed, at the end of the film the nunchuck display that Barry Gabrewski does as part of the competition is missing due to censorship rules in the UK at that time. Additional cuts were made to other nunchaku and throwing stars footage, bringing the cuts total to 4 mins 38 secs. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

The main reason I saw this movie was because of Jonathan Brandis who plays Berry. I thought the movie was ok. Some scenes were rather boring and some scenes were rather funny. I do however think it is a decent family film. It did have a nice message though. It really is ok to dream and have fantasies. That part affected me strongly because I think of myself as a "Dream Queen". I sort of can relate to Berry in many different ways. I must say that I love the part where Barry beats up the bully and says "This time it's not going to be so easy" and they get into a fight. Also the part where Berry climbs the rope and is talking to Chuck and then finally reaches the top of the rope.
