Why do the killer bees sting everyone except leading players Michael Caine and Katherine Ross?

É constrangedor assistir a talentos como Caine, Fonda e Widmark (para citar apenas três) recitando diálogos horrendos em um filme repleto de absurdos. Ao mesmo tempo, não deixa de ser moderadamente divertido.
