In order to fully appreciate this movie, you have to catch it next time it is shown on TNT's Monstervision. Joe Bob Riggs' comments make the movie hilarious. Anyway, this movie is a great way to waste time. I must admit, even though the acting is terrible, this is one of the few films I could watch every single day and not get tired of. The best scene is near the end when Emilio Estevez and crew are at the boat dock. One of the guys sees a dead woman in her truck, and she's wearing a wedding ring. So, the guy completely forgets that the trucks are in close pursuit, walks over to the woman, and takes her ring. As he's walking slowly back over to the boat, eyes focused entirely on the ring he's just scored, one of the trucks comes out and rams him. Emilio Estevez then uses a missile launcher to destroy the truck. The funny part is that everyone starts throwing their hands up in victory and cheering while a very upbeat AC/DC song starts playing. If you tuned in just as the song started, you would never know that one of their friends had just been killed. When I saw this scene, I started convulsing with laughter. I mean, this movie was so wacked out and shallow, that it was I actually enjoying it. Do not buy it, and do not rent it. Tape it next time it's on TNT's Monstervision. Joe Bob's commentary is half the experience. Even though it will have been edited for T.V., the Monstervision experience is one that cannot be beaten.
