Reception
David Johnson of DVDverdict.com gave the film a positive review and said: "I'll just say this: there's a lot of meaningless fighting, gratuitous nudity, specifically in the opening where one of our heroes plays a few round of slow-motion topless tennis, and one of the looniest fights scenes I've ever seen: Bruce Le vs. a bull.This film's worth comes only from the surreal factor, but it's an excellent companion piece to For Your Height Only."[1]
