On an episode of 'How Did This Get Made?', it was revealed that Mick Jagger was offered this movie one week before shooting was scheduled to begin, and he decided to do it on the spot, based on a short description of the plot. He also said that if he had been given a few months to read the script and think about it, he probably would have declined.,When Alex is fleeing from Vacendak right after Julie Redlun first encounters Alex in the year 2009, Alex rams a car chasing him and then turns sharply to throw a random bad guy from the hood. As he makes the turn, the camera shows him shifting using a manual transmission in the center console and engaging the clutch, but when he throws the car back into gear it shows a shot of an vehicle with an automatic transmission with the shifter on the side of the steering column.,Nun: [after being slapped violently] The Good Lord always says to turn the other cheek.

Courtesy of Mercury/PolyGram Records Inc.,I lap up anything with Emilio Estevez. I've always thought he was extremely underrated. Sometimes, he picks the silliest scripts. I did have some fun with this movie, but It's far from a good movie. The futuristic storyline has been done to death, and nothing really stands out about it. It has some entertaining action, good humor, and a great cast to keep you watching. As much as I love Emilio, he's not really the action star type. That being said, he managed to pull it off with his natural charisma. He borders on cockiness at times, but his charisma manages to keep him likable and easy to root for. Mick Jagger is terrible as the villain. He should have kept his day job, in lieu of dabbling into acting. Anthony Hopkins is here for a paycheck, nothing more. Rene Russo is classy as usual. She takes a one-dimensional part and makes it worthwhile. That's what genuine talent is able to do.

I enjoy it for what it is! Then again, I dig anything that is enjoyably cheesy. This movie falls under that category. They were obviously aiming for much more, but they weren't able to pull it off. Keep your expectations low, and you'll have a decent time

5.5/10,
