- it has the worst fight scene I've ever seen - it's worth watching the first 5 minutes just to see it !
- it has the worst bit of set design I've ever seen - in the last 5 minutes when the heroic British invasion forces land (just in time to prevent the execution of the hero.....), the landing craft, which people on the beach pull in with a rope, appears to have been knocked up by a carpenter using banisters for the side and a bit of chipboard for the ramp. It looks like something children would construct for the school play !
