Reception



From contemporary reviews, a reviewer credited as "Lor." of 'Variety' reviewed the film on March 21, 1987. "Lor." referred to the film as lifting equal amounts from both the 'Star Wars' and 'Indiana Jones' films and had poor derivative music from 'Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan'. "Lor." stated that O'Keeffe is embarrassing, posing instead of acting and like the rest of the cast, stuck with a funny looking punk-influenced hairdo.
