A hilarious spoof - how many other films can you spot

Rating: 10/10 (5 October 2002)

If you enjoy Airplane and the like, then you'll love this.
Look out for the background gags - the duty free carrier when parachuting into Occupied France, Peter Cushing and the terrific 2 minute long scene - filmed backwards, the musical parody of "lonesome tonight", noughts and crosses with machine guns and pistols, the worlds biggest escape tunnel ... and lots lots more. This film provided many clips for the trailers for "night time TV" in the UK (the rest were mainly provided by Battlestar Galactica). I still want to know how many folk provided arms and legs for the desert island scene.
The soundtrack is classic rock 'n' roll and very singalongable - I just wish I knew where too buy it!
Although Val Kilmer is not my most favourite actor, I cannot fault his performance in this film - after all - "it's just some bad B movie". ;-)
Get some beers in, loads of chips and enjoy a light hearted, nothing to think about film. No sex/drugs/mindless violence. It would be a perfect film for the whole family if you didn't need to concentrate to find all the best gags. 10/10
P.S.
At the end of the film - don't forget to read the credits to find out ... who the cow was ... and to find some other gags. For the record, I can spot over 40 films which have the mickey taken at some point.
