...plotted escapade featuring a pair of glamorous Hong Kong-based criminals, Li Ann and Mac (Sandrine Holt and Ivan Sergei). They are lovers whose most troublesome character flaw seems to be an addiction to hair gel. Li Ann also demonstrates an ability to probably run faster in a snug mini-skirt and high-heeled boots than even Dennis Rodman...

Titled Away We Go!, the half-hour songfest--a youngster's travelogue of Manhattan--originally aired on the Learning Channel and has just been released on video. The host of the musical, which is conceived for two- to eight-year-olds, is a shabby-looking puppet named Newt who takes a young boy and girl for taxi, bus and ferry rides throughout the city...
