Ho boy, it’s not often you play a game this bad.  Despite what some will tell you, this movie was a turd when it came out and became the very thing it was mocking.  The pinball machine is oddly pretty damn good and I’ve never been able to get my hands on one for the game room.

But wow.  Even with the invincibility code, which is a must, you are still barely beating the clock in this game.  No point in doing any move besides the jumping split kick.  The driving stages are insanely hard.  The last boss is a cake walk.

And, as usual, some decent elements.  Graphics aren’t terrible.  Music is like 20 second loops. 

So I’ll just spare you the 30 minutes and show you the amazing ending.



That’s it.

 :timebomb:

There’s about four enemies. They all have weapons.  You never get a weapon.  It’s not often you play a game this bad.

Agree about the movie.

In spite of having a few people I have liked in other things I remember even back then at the end thinking... what the hell did I just watch?

Remarkable that the pin is good when everything else is lame.

I watched that movie once.
i think it was too many times.

No wonder you’re all weird with genre nomenclature, your judgment is getting all clouded by playing this crap.  ;)

I'm going to stir the pot and disagree. I liked the movie, even if it was stupid. However, I also agree that the pinball was pretty damn good too.

Over-the-top 90's action movies... well, it was making fun of itself, even while it was pumping the Kool Ade. I thought Jamie Less Curtis was great, and I loved seeing Bill Paxton in action as a sleazy used-car salesman. If anything, his performance was my highlight. Game over, man. RIP

I was always disappointed, even back when, by the racial stereotyping going on with the bad guys and middle-eastern or just plain eastern negative vibes.

The bridge scene was great. Harrier jet thing was fun, and ridiculous.

Why did Jamie never wonder what her boring Arnie husband did to have huge muscles? I used to be a gym junkie, and I know that to have definition remotely like that you'd be spending 3-4 hours each day working out. But we never see any of that. If I was married to a guy who had one without the other, I'd worry that he was secretly The Terminator. Seriously.
