WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

	This movie is available on video cassettes. Being a big fan
of Firesign Theatre ( I like everything of their's I've heard) and
their Nick Danger skit being one of my favorites, I immediately rented
the cassette. 
	I was never more dissapointed in any movie (I use the term 
loosely). It had very little of the charm of the original skit. Instead
of being a spoof on the 30's style detectives, (like the original script),
it became some type of satircal look at the future. It wasn't very funny,
nor very interesting. I was just bored. I didn't even watch the whole thing.
Nick Danger himself was hardly in the first half( the part I saw). My
personel opinion is that it was a waste of time and money.
	But this is just one man's opiniion, so do as you like.
