SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

jenniferparton I remember watching this movie as a kid. My bother was only 6 and he watched it over and over and over. He is 20 now and knows the movie word for word. I have a five year old and am trying to locate a copy of this movie so he can enjoy it as I have. Family friendly, yet exciting enough even for the most action involved fanatic. Watching this movie is like reading a good book; you just cannot put it down. You are pulled into the story and plot line and kept eyes wide open through the whole thing. No matter how many times you have watched it you have to pause the movie to go to the restroom so as not to miss a thing. Suspense, action, comedy, romance, yet clean. Why can't the movie industry make more movies like this today!

gristleizer And that's saying a lot, since I saw it as part of a double-bill with "Mannequin" (talk about an ultimate awful film double feature for the ages!) for $2 at the discount cinema. All I have to say to show how preposterous the whole plot was is this: THE KIDS WHOOP THE RED ARMY AND RESCUE THEIR DADS USING A COUPLE OF BOTTLE ROCKETS AND M80's!!!!! That, and that "Mannequin" was the "better movie" in that double feature that I saw that day. The only movie I can think of that had a less plausible plot to it was "Weekend At Bernie's II"....and even that's still debatable. If a bunch of snot nose kids can defeat the army of the most populous nation in the world, why do we even bother to have such a high military budget? Obviously, according to Disney with this movie, you can go to your local Chinatown with, say, a couple hundred bucks and get all the arms you need to defeat a superpower from the illegal unsafe and insane fireworks dealer. Why spend so much money on rocket launchers and automatic rifles when you can arm the US troops with roman candles and cherry bombs for 1/100 the price...with better results. Damn...the curse in Mannequin was more plausible. Avoid this film like a hooker with tons of "cold sores".

fjordland@xtra.co.nz It is Interesting to note that "the Rescue"(1986?) set still stands on the Deer Park Heights outside Queenstown New Zealand. It is the same hill that George Lucas Filmed "the Willow" in 1988 and more recently several locations for the Lord of the Rings. The hill is open to the public via a Toll Gate. The North Korean style building seems a strange thing to come across in New Zealand but it catches the attention of bus loads of Asian Tourists who got up there to see the mountain lake that the refugees of Rohan file past on retreat from the evil minions of Saramon of Isengard... Who most likely never heard of this Disney Made for TV Movie whos presents looms spookily just out of shot.

John Seal Truly boring Reagan-era flag-waving nonsense, with patriotic super kids rescuing their dads from evil towel-heads. You'll struggle to keep your eyes open through all the non-thrills this Disney pic delivers. The one and only bright spot is the always reliable James Cromwell in a very small role.
