...here to pitch, though. This bullpen has no pitcher's mound. It's a real cattle pen occupied by three real bulls--three real surly bulls. Sufficiently limber, Naldur ignores the snorting animals--and his age--as he hops on the back of a 1,300-lb. bronco that will try to launch him skyward while galloping at up to 40 m.p.h. It's a rough ride that ends with a kick to the head, a face full of blood and some tense moments as Naldur struggles back to his feet and to consciousness. Bronco 1, Naldur 0. "When...

Before the race is over, Whoopi Goldberg is stranded in the desert; Seth Green and Vince Vieluf, as two brothers whose greed is matched only by their stupidity, get trapped--in their Ford Bronco--atop an airport radar tower; a cow flies; Cuba Gooding Jr. hijacks a bus full of Lucille Ball look-alikes; and a nice Jewish couple played by Jon Lovitz and Kathy Najimy steal Hitler's car from a neo-Nazi museum. "We have, I think, one of the funniest movies...
