The auditorium was about one-third filled, which wasn't bad for a weekday matinee.īut except for my wife and me, the audience was made up almost entirely of teen-agers, almost equally split between blacks and whites, with a smattering of slouching younger male adults of the sort who breathe only through their open mouths. Having said that, I think I also discovered why the movie might turn out to be a box office failure. It crammed in so many funny lines and visual touches that you couldn't be distracted for a moment or you'd miss something good. It ridiculed Hollywood heroes, villains, Mafia stereotypes, crazed car chases, absurd violence and poked fun at one movie cliche after another. It was clever and witty, at times hilarious, as it satirized Arnold's own action movies and cop thrillers in general.
