The Best Of The Series

Just saw this for the first time.

I've seen most of the others... never was too impressed, but watched this out of curiosity to see where the back story began. (In fact, the rest don't make sense unless you've seen this. You just watch them for the comic book effects.)

Anyhoo, ya know? It's actually a decent =movie=. Not just a 'summer movie' but a decent -movie-, which frankly the others aren't. It has a story and some acting and ya learn a little about the whole rice rocket scene and so on.

The stunts, the directing, the photography are all a LOT more interesting than the frankly 'comic book' sequels.

I kinda wish the original director had carried forward with the series.
