Super agent is sent to orbiting space station to rescue the presidents daughter. Yeah I know >yawn<, but wait! what this really turns out to be is Escape from New York (1981) with new paint and rims. Lets do the bad first.. leave any notion of real world behind, this guy is super Gumby.. he takes a beating that would kill anyone else and shrugs it off. Not that its never been seen in a movie before but not since Arnold stepped on a grenade in Commando that didn't even rip his pants has it been so in your face. Now on the the good.. delicious array of delightfully twisted and cliched bad guys, witty(ish) banter from the hero, lots of boom boom, and.. oh yeah everything happens in space so you get cool space FX as well. Great movie? no.. Fun watch? oh yeah. Just remember to strap on your macho.. it would be fun if people started showing up wearing a Snake Plissken eye patch..
