Movie Connections:

Follows "MacGyver" (1985)

it isn't THAT bad!

I'm actually watching this right now. It's on BBC1 at lunchtime on a Sunday, and it is ideal fair for a lazy Sunday afternoon. Forget the comparisons to India Jones - it's a TV movie, it isn't supposed to be oscar quality, or even quality that you'd pay money for. If you liked MacGyver at all, you'll know what to expect, and you'll like this. Nuff said.
