    Catchy indeed, especially the dialogue

    Cruising through Atom Films the one day I came across this. It was great! Good camera work especially, and I love that Mako has a part because there's a presence to him you can't mistake. Of course the main attractor was easily Pat Morita, who reprised his role of Arnold with a little more sophistication but just as much absurdity. Wish there'd be another!
