Customer Reviews
This film is an up-dated version of the classic pulp hero Doc Savage,you would be forgiven for thinking that Ron Ely might turn up playing Buckaroo's dad, which leads me to the reason for the title of this review:
For Region 1 you can get a 2 disc special DVD. Tons of extras including extra scenes re-introduced into the film,including our hero as a boy with his parents.(Jamie Lee Curtis as his mum)
This might not seem like much but as you get to know our hero,you will have some unanswered questions like what makes him tick and what is the deal with his new girlfriend?
Heck. Get this DVD anyway and meet loads of aliens with the first name John, a watermelon and Jeff Goldblum dressed like Tom Mix.

This is *the* most feature-packed DVD I've seen in years, applied to a film that richly deserves it. If you're in on the film, the complete immersion in its universe is intoxicating, otherwise it can wear thin quite fast. I love it, and the print and sound mix are both pristine -- much better than the third-generation copy I'd been watching for the last ten years. The only shortcoming is the lack of an english SDH stream but otherwise, it's gorgeous. Now if only "The Wizard of Speed and Time" was available like this...
Oh, *don't* bother with the R2 version, it's a bland vanilla disc that will disappoint terribly.
The visuals are delicious, and the concepts are delightful, and every character seems to be perfectly cast for the role. John Lithgow's mad scientist is mad in the comic-book tradition, and before Robocop, Weller plays an architypal hero for modern-day western society.
You'll want to watch this many times (if you can understand it at all), and it isn't for people who think that Dumb & Dumber is challenging cinema. If you are brave enough to enter the 8th dimension, you'll be glad that you did.
The story is naff, the acting wooden. Read more
