I have a soft spot for this movie, primarily as Haim was a pin up of mine back in the day and it is so very 90's.
The plot itself had potential but the script and the acting (at times) was iffy. If it had a better director, script writer and a bigger budget then it could have been a lot more successful than it was, however it seems to have done well as a cult classic.
I recently watched this again and the things that make it watchable are the guys who played Gary Lee, Bango and Bullwinkle (their acting was the best in the entire movie) and the soundtrack (it was edgy for it's time and cause it has NIN). Haim's acting was hammy at best and i just didn't buy him as the 'action hero' but then he wasn't successful because of his talent (for me his best movies were Lucas, License to Drive and The Lost Boys).
I think this is one of those 90's movies that might improve on a remake.
