Palance and Davi make this movie

I admire their work ethics, neither one phoned in their performances, and I'm not sure they even know how.

1994 wasn't exactly a high point in Jack's career (this,City Slickers 2 and Swan Princess being his final theatrical releases), but he does what he can with the role and then some.

Robert Davi seems like he was given a one page script for the opening scene, then looks like a Candid Camera victim for the rest of the movie. He's the scariest guy I've ever seen in flip-flops!

These guys definitely make this movie worth the $3 at Wal-mart.

"Candid Camera victim" - I love that description. And yes, I agree, for the majority of the movie, he was just walking around looking confused, trying to figure out why everyone around him were acting so strange.

Gotta love Davi and Palance in the same dialogue, though. They had the same raspy voice. Imagine those two in a poker match.

Agreed. Both of them were awesome. Chase's character was too irritating to be funny.

The hot daughter was a bonus though.
