...audience gratification-this though the priest, aside from the town merchant, is the film's leading villain. The motivations are too involved, and the action itself is one which goes beyond personal conflict; it is treated as such.

The first inflates Spectra's black vinyl skirts and forces air to seep out from under them, providing a cushion that suspends the craft above the surface; the second turns a propeller that thrusts the vehicle forward. Only 10 ft. long and 6 ft. wide, Spectra I weighs 450 Ibs. and costs between $1,595 and $1,995, depending on engine size...
