The best way to watch this movie is on
fast forward, because it's halfway there already. We're used
to cinematic dreck, boy, are we ever, but this one has to be the
most energetic of an infamous crop.
The plot meshes nicely with the visuals by proving to be just
as frantic. Deep within the wilds of suburban Omaha, Batwoman
(Sela Ward/an emu) constructs her Playgirl mansion inhabited by
convulsing aerobics trainees sporting Abs of Custard.
But this is just a cover for the real purpose, which is running
a Jonestown boot camp involving automatic weapons, hip-huggers,
ordering take-out from a Mandarin card table, and subcontracting
to the Acme Development Corp. after Xena is kidnapped by a Mr.
Bojangles sock puppet and his henchmen (Mark Hamill, Gene Hackman,
Richard Gephardt, Ben Cartwright), thus mayhem ensues among steaming
beakers at a local Denney's.
Also highlighted is a Mole People cameo, human bumper cars, the
horrors of successful cloning, and a Buster Keaton retrospective.
In fact, this was probably originally filmed as a silent movie,
later dubbed by pedestrians at a bus stop.
