Yah, I think it's a piece of garbage. The supposed humor is all so obvious and overdone.

Elvis will be in here soon though to rave about how great it is. It's his favorite film or something.

I haven't seen it in a long time, but I remeber it being awesome because it was so bad. Trucks holding people up for gas, you just can't be expected to take that seriously.

I took it for what it was and enjoyed it.

Perfectly watchable.

stephen king tried to direct -learned to stay behind the typewriter with this clunker.

but the soundtrack is AWESOME! the little riff pieces that angus and malcolm young pulled together are perfect driving music and the rest is classic ac/dc tunes. and who made who is an ac/dc classic now!

There were a bunch of accidents when they made that film. One of the remote controlled machines actually injured a member of the crew, I think he lost an eye or something.

It is a piece of trash yes, but entertaining trash.
