Trivia
During filming Mathew Karedas ate nothing but shredded chicken as he believed that it kept him lean. See more »Goofs
When the van explodes for no reason the driver transforms from a very obviously Arabic Orlando Quijano with a mustache to a very obviously white with no mustache stuntman. The stunt man even looks right at the camera. His lips are not even burned. See more »Quotes

Sure to be a cult classic here in the states as it was in Europe. A comedian Joe Bob Briggs, has brought this classic to DVD. Did you know they BANNED it in Germany. Well, who can count for taste. There's plenty of action and full breasted babes in action to keep you interested when the dialog gets you laughing. At it, not with it. Not to mention a mullet here or there. So, your best bet may be to watch it with the Joe Bob Briggs commentary track. A group of friends and I watched it together and Joe Bob's comments had us laughing our asses off. I guess there's no chance for a sequel since most of the cool characters die by hara-kiri, beheading, death by sword, fire or get shot off a roof. But our hero and his partner could always return..if they're not in convalescent home by now. If you can't get your hands on the DVD don't despair, this film will surely show up on, "Dinner and a movie", or "Mystery Science 3000".
