Seriously, this movie isn't quite as bad as people think it is. I mean yes of course it does have the CHEESY as hell love scenes and the whole meshing scenes together thing...but this was the EARLY 90s folks. We didn't have the crap they have now...on top of it do you really think this movie would have made it big in the boxoffice if it were done by Speilberg?! NO! I loved this movie for a few reasons...and I will admit to it's bad production...but lets be serious for a moment here...this is a small time movie...for actors JUST beginning their careers. You don't pile on the scenes and acting if someone is just beginning their career. A lot of people are shallow...this movie had great parts in it. Especially the gorrish blood and guts. I loved it. Technology HAS gotten better people, grow up!
