5.0 out of 5 stars Great secret agent parody, October 27, 2001

Ok, this is a B-rated movie. It was panned in the reviews when it came out.

Still, it is one of my favorites. I even bought it after renting it. The class clown flunks French class, and ends up flying to Paris to salvage his grades, accompanied by the French-teacher-from-Hell. Once there, he is mistaken for a secret agent and ends up in a slapstick adventure. Next thing you know, he is soon sitting behind a Lamborgini complete with guns, parachute, and missiles, chasing a hot blonde babe.

It is a parody of the James Bond movies, that most will find mildly amusing. Most of my friends roll their eyes when I pull it off the shelf. Still, I think it is one of the greatest flicks ever made.

Alas, poor Yorik, I own no VCR, so I must recall upon ye olde memories of distant past. This movie portrays a brash but quick thinking high-school teen with a boring school, a boring teacher, a boring life. End of story, right? WRONG! SUDDENLY, CARS, GUNS DANGER, ADVENTURE, and WOMEN everywhere are all thrust into his lap, and things quickly begin getting a liiittle bit out of control. So much so in fact that the fate of all of Europe, nay, perhaps the fate of the ENTIRE CONTINENT OR WORSE lies in this hapless teenager's hands. Fortunately, he's not alone. He's been lined up with a great deal of out-of-this-world secret agent gadgets, not to mention a car souped enough to make a Campbells CEO drool and certain X-trordinarily gargantuan technology thieves drool as well. Yet he may not be able to pull it all off without the help of a certain someone... To find out who, you'll have to watch the movie. I am waiting for the DVD version, but if you haven't seen it at all, don't pass this baby up!

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE BEST ACTION MOVIES EVER!!!!!, July 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: If Looks Could Kill [VHS] (VHS Tape)

What are the odds of an airport mixing up your name with another person of the same name? That's what happened in this movie. Michael Corben and his buddies are headed to a field trip in France, but they are separated throughout most of the movie because of a mixup at the airport. While Michael is separated, he gets to work for British Intelligence. When he is with them, he gets to use all this nice equipment to chase bad guys. I don't want to give away anymore of the movie, so you have to go see it.
