REVIEWS Review by anonymous (posted on 7-Jul-2006) Strange and funny- an oddly
entertaining sci-fi film, even to this day. For DJ fans, it is alot of
fun to see him so incredibly youthful. His boyish good looks (he is 25
in this film) were not yet "leathered" by the years of excessive booze
and drugs. Johnson is in virtually every frame, and shows his capacity
as a leading man. DJ is still an outstanding tv personality. He could
have been a first-class box office movie idol, and this funny, off-beat
movie shows the promise he never really lived up to.
Do you know something we don't?
