Time has made the film only more illogical than before, but it's enormously entertaining thanks to the ensemble cast. Ben Kinglsey is the only weak link here with his shitty American accent.

I remember a computer systems lecturer railing against how stupid this film was. Indeed it is stupid, but its a very fun sort of stupid.

Terribly underrated and terrifically entertaining. And what a cast too!
