Verdict: 🥈 SHOULD SEE (once) Phil Hartman, Sinbad, and Curtis Armstrong (and, sure, even Jim Belushi) carry this movie on their backs amidst the most unintentionally quotable Schwarzenegger lines you can get before Schumacher cranked it to 11 in Batman & Robin. Who can forget such unforgettably festive lines as: • “You’re my numba one customa!” • “I don’t wanna Boosta!” • “Put that cookie down. NOW!” • and “I’m not a pervert! I was just looking for a Turbo Man doll!”
