Standout Aspects

Practical Effects

Explosions clearly filmed in someone's cousin's backyard.

Costume

Shannon Tweed's tactical outfits defy all military logic.

Best for:Friends: Riff party essential. Bring your own zingers.·Background: Perfect for folding laundry you don't care about.
Heads up:Triggers: Apartheid South Africa as exotic action backdrop, unexamined.·Sexual Content: Tweed's role is basically 'attractive woman near explosions.'
