Kind of lame...what do I mean kind of, I mean Mega Lame!!!

This film just did not work, though as a kid I sort of liked it. Mainly because of the vehicles were kind of cool, now they look like toys that would not be useful in an actual battle. The plot was rather stupid then as I watched it as a kid and I can not remember all the details all I remember is the stupid final scene with that one dude flying on his motorcycle. I feel ashamed to have even liked this one as a kid even though as a kid I was more stupid. This one was just lame a lot. The fighting with the vehicles has its moments, but in the end the fights look like something from a live action kids action show. I am kind of surprised by how much this movie cost to make and from what it cost to make I can see it was pretty much a flop. Though I can see why, the plot is paper thin, the acting was not very good, and some of the stuff this movie presented is very bad. I am surprised the guy who directed Cannonball Run did this one, but now that I see that he did I can understand why the film seems a bit choppy. His movies are usually kind of a train wreck. And while that works in a comedy in an action movie it simply does not.
