One of the worst movies I have ever seen. I realize it is supposed to be a farce, but COME ON! The audio sounds like it was recorded on a wax record. The acting is terrible. No wonder Wyatt from Weird Science quit the movie business. This movie wants to make me quit the movie watching business. The budget seems to me small, but I have seen student films shot on NO BUDGET that have better effects than this movie. Particularly bad is when the boat explodes. GEESH!
Melvin Van Peebles also cast himself as the know-it-all detective with the hot wife, AND as the narrator which is both confusing as a plot detail and wildly unsuccessful. So if you haven't gather it by now, avoid this movie at all costs.
