Oh, I dunno; I thought it was pretty much of a deliberate sendup of action flicks. The scene where the cops literally shoot a house to pieces while the hero and heroine escape undetected is classic Keystone Kops stuff. Not to say I'd pay money to see it again, but it was more 'shaggy dog' than 'dog'.
