**See a boiled egg fly through the air from one mans mouth to another mans mouth and then back again - all in Technicolor!** Comedy - _negligible_. Interest factor - negligible.

The cast feels bare-bones, at least in terms of the original bunch of characters. Bubba Smith dropped out for this, which is a loss, so only Michael Winslow, David Graf and George Gaynes stayed to complete the run of appearing in all seven films. It's actually away from them that you find the interesting performers, as Christopher Lee and Ron Perlman turn up. The former doesn't feature heavily, though the latter does and is alright I guess; as noted already, he is better than last time out's attempt. On the cast, the f
