Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDennis Hopper described the film's production - "It was a nightmare, very honestly, that movie. It was a husband and wife directing team who were both control freaks and wouldn't talk before they made decisions. Anyway, I was supposed to go down there for five weeks, and I was there for 17. It was so over budget."
- GoofsWhen Spike asks Iggy the square root of 26481, he answers 191, which is the square root of 36481.
- Quotes

Featured review
Corny as Hell, but fun.
This is one of those movies I loved as a thirteen year old, I remember seeing it a few times. It was a film naturally aimed at my age group in 1993, I wish people would remember that when writing up such serious reviews. It's quite a fun story, the special effects are probably a little naff thirty years later, but what do you expect? Bob Hoskins is good fun.
I'm surprised by just how dark the story is, funny how you have a different look on things when you're young.
What I found interesting, was the theme music, Almost Unreal by Roxette, what an awesome track, arguably the best aspect of the film.
Fun, 7/10.
