Best movie ever .... to make fun of., 1 December 2002
1/10
Author: jfulmer from The Midwest

Oh my. I only have a few things to say:

1) Diehard Ripoff

2) MacGuyver Ripoff (the Leatherman should get its own credit)

3) Best ending since 'Space Mutiny' (MST3K fans should get that one)

4) Go Karts. Yes, the final chase scene has Go Karts.

5) Christianity has a lot to do with killing people and blowing things up. Or so sayeth the movie.

If you want a good movie, go find something else. If you want to make ummerciful fun of one of the worst written, worst acted, christian-oriented action movies ever, this is for you.
