When loser Marvin Mange is involved in a horrible car accident, he's brought back to life by a deranged scientist as half man and half animal. His newfound powers are awesome -- but their adverse side effects could take over his life. Now, Marvin must fight to control his crazy primal urges around his new squeeze, Rianna, and his rival, Sgt. Sisk, who both think he's one cool cat.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Colleen Haskell was cast straight from Survivor season one—this was her only major film role, making her the most successful Survivor contestant in Hollywood for about five minutes.
This film represents the absolute peak of the 'SNL alumni + animal premise = box office' formula that also gave us The Master of Disguise and Deuce Bigalow—Hollywood briefly believed this was infinite money.
