I stumbled into taping this movie off Saturday TV back around ~1985, and have treasured it ever since. Never seen or heard of it since, 'til just now.
Sutherland certainly did this as a half-day lark, and had tons of fun with his cameo.
Duke Stuyvesant (who really isn't as much brighter than his two idiot sons as he would like to believe) creates the local gas crisis. I don't think it's a spoiler to say that milk is a parallel story that gets braided in quite satisfactorily, as is the Arab Sheik, and a half-dozen other lines and characters.
The martial arts world takes itself too seriously. Peter Ackroyd's portrayal of Ed, the deranged kung-fu brother of the pretty girl, is great.
'Gas' is an unsung masterpiece.
