Is it a diamond in the dung heap?

Just rewatched this little B-movie peach for the first time in about 10 years and loved it as much as ever. So I came on IMDB to check out what other over-looked gems the Director and Writers had come up with over the years... and I was horrified.

It looks like this great movie is an oddity in all their careers and just about the only thing that any of them have done that is worth watching. For starters the director has spent the last decade jobbing around picking up single episode gigs on TV shows like Burn Notice etc...and all of this because after Tremors and City Slickers he spent the next few years making dross.......reaching its nadir at the Eddie Murphy embarrassment called Pluto Nash.

The writers have been just as guilty building on their Tremors success by making such lamentable excrement as Bill Cosby's Ghost Dad and the truly terrible Will Smith abortion known as Wicky Wicky Wild Wild West.

So who was the true talent that made this movie a classic......because it would seem these jokers have spent 99% of their careers producing more sh*t than a bad case of dysentery.
