Brief Review: This thing has the aura that the major goal was not to
make an entertaining picture; the major goal was to make a film that
would cause Walt Disney to spin in his grave with such torque and
velocity as to start a new ride for Disneyland. William ("Get the
Jammies on, Ralph!") Katt spends the first half of the show proving
that those old regulations about four-letter words don't apply in THIS
production, no-siree-bob! If I had a kid, I don't think I would have
been too pleased with this as a children's show. As for adult matters:
Sean Young should stick to good Sci-Fi; Patrick McGoohan evokes nothing
but pity in me these days (talk about a *real* prisoner), the special
effects were very shoddy, and the whole things has a cruel overtone and
leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Thumbs down.
"OHHLYMPIAA! Olympia!"
"Osiris!"
"My friend!"
"What has happened to your nose?"
