I don't know what it is about this movie that so thoroughly kicks ass, but it undoubtedly does. the storyline is not the most amazing, but then the point of a movie is to entertain and it certainly does that!! the "rippers" are absolutely hysterical, and both tank and jet girl show us gals the kinda people we want to be.... The rather random musical number is beyond words, its what every comedy needs!! MacDowel once again makes a great baddy, made better by the bad poetry.... and as for the tank itself... i gotta get me one of those!! show me a girl that hates this film and i'll show you the next applicant to the sisterhood of uptight prudes!!! and guys... if you're living and breathing then you must love this... that is unless your one of those strange comic-book store owners.....

Yes, it has REALLY bad acting, a laughable storyline and 2D characters, all trying hard to escape a thick layer of cheese. But there is something about this film (other than Caulfield in leathers, mieow) that somewhere down the line makes it appealing. The songs, for the most part are hideous and i cringed with embarasment when i watched it recently.... but i can remember singing along with delight to "reproduction" when i was 14 years old!! first a foremost a film is to entertain, whether that means it gives you a good laugh when strictly speaking it isnt a comedy, then there you go!! this film could have been so much more, but unfortunately it died on its arse. still, just for being a teenage favourite i still have to give it an 8 out of 10 (so shoot me!!).

well, i may be bias as i grew up watching a VHS copy of this film that is now ready to snap and have just spent the last couple of hours tracking down a DVD copy as a birthday pressie for my Dad. The film is so harmless and inoffensive it suits all ages.... much better than anything Disney ever made in my opinion (and i used to work in the Disney Store!!!). The characters are enjoyable and the award for best scene is a tie between the disrupted wedding (especially the musical talents of Swat, the fly. and Smack the mosquito), and the amazing night club scene. The musical numbers still have me humming 20 years after i first watched it. there is no other film that i can better recommend whilst baby-sitting, and in fact every child i know (thanks to my Hoppity loving parents) have seen this film, many times. It will always get top marks for its fabulous love story, a brilliant baddy and over all originality.
