Riffs on multiple films & genres, veering from slapstick to homage. Gets bogged down for too long in mediaeval fantasy before picking up pace again. Somehow managed to get a ream of cameos ranging from Bruce Campbell to John Ireland.

Closes with a hiphop theme, as was de rigeur for early 90s Hollywood, but this one's a banger from the L.A. Posse. Suck it, hataz!
