I remember watching this when I was 8 years old. It was all that and then some. When you are a kid, anything amazes you though, I guess.
However, I recently had the chance to watch this flick again. I must say, that it still has it's redeeming value to it.
If you ask me, Number 5, is STILL alive! I recommend this movie to anyone. 7 out of 10.
