Heat Vision and Jack is the silly, unpretentious, and consistently funny pilot to an exploitation TV show that sadly was not ordered by Fox. It has an over-the-top and bizarrely-specific premise, and every participant in its making appears to have had endless fun during it. The music, cheesy 1980s-style special effects, voiceover narration, and great use of Ron Silver as a sinister version of himself are the makings of a "trash" TV masterpiece.
After explaining his origin in the intro, Jack Black again regals us with the backstory of... Jack the astronaut, and his trusty, sentient motorcycle, Heat Vision (Owen Wilson). To explain more would spoil the fun of viewing my favorite thing Ben Stiller has ever done for the first time. It's quite tempting to do so... Heat Vision and Jack must be seen to be believed.
