... wow ...
(gathers his breath)
just, ... wow ...

I just watched this for the first time, and I know what it's like to see a movie when you're 6 years old and have a sentimental attachment to it, but ...
... wow ...

This movie is a staggering, monumental, mind-scorching ode to wrongness and miscalculation. This movie aggressively mis-fires on all available cylinders, then passionately seeks out new cylinders on which to further mis-fire.
(What's with the mix of adult situations (in the first half hour or so) and sub-12-yr-old humor? Who ever said "sleazoid", even in the '80s?)

If Milton Berle, Morey Amsterdam, Salvador Dali, and that guy who did the costumes for 'The Carol Burnett Show' got together and wrote a script that they thought would go over well in the '80s, it might look like this. As realized by ILM, of course.

Here's a fun game: Whenever a character in this movie says "ducky", "ducko", "quack-fu" or variants thereof, drink an entire bottle of vodka. Make it a good brand. You're not getting those brain cells back, either way.

To sum up, FANTASTIC.

dark_jedi, a totally amazing job on the transfer, cheers.
