Man this movie is freakin awesome! I mean yes the acting is non-existent, but who cares?? Its all apart of what makes it so awesome! They don't make them like this anymore, thats for sure. Oh and Van Damme is barely in this, but when he is, he rules! The characters are so hilarious in this, the bully, the best friend, OMG its classic stuff!
