...ding-y!") like the Beaver Patrol on an overnight hike. Dent's villains are far zingier. They have names like Ull, Ark, Var, Zoro, Rama Tura, "The Sinister Count Ramadanoff" and "The Horrible Humpback"-whose hump, by the way, is packed with nefarious electronic gear. One of his nastiest creations is an Eskimo known as Heck Noe (humor is hardly Dent's forte).

The two villains of the piece, freaky faggots named Griff (Robert Phillips) and Terry (William Smith), provide some of the nastiest screen violence so far this year. There's a brawl toward the end of the picture between McGee and one of the freaks that has not been matched, for pure furniture-smashing gusto, since Frank Sinatra took out after that Korean guy in The Manchurian Candidate...
