A mix of bone-crunching impact, hilarious pratfalls, inventive jokes, and "whoa!"-inducing stunts, raises the film from a throwaway kids' movie to one worth watching.

This is surprisingly dark for a 90s kid's movie. If you listen to the dialog, "Stop the killing." Which means who knows how many Native Americans got sick and died from the poison they were dumping. Possibly dozens to hundreds of murders. Doesn't exactly match the rest of the movie's ton of kid karate and slapstick. Plus it was the 90s, practically everything was doing an ecological message. There are minor character issues but very mild. The third act while they were trying to get to the court house or city hall, I forget which. But enemies kept jumping out of nowhere like this was the SNES tie in game not the movie. It really stopped the pacing dead. But it's pretty fun, even with the darker undertones it has.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
