This might be the last of these that is a "movie" A TV-movie, sure, but still an actual movie. The ones after this are just shlock coasting on the name and the fact that Jean-Claude and Dolph can make money by visiting the set for a few days. This movie, is in fact a movie. Not a very good one, mind you, but still a movie. It has a plot, nonsense, characters, progression and a ticking clock. It isn't altogether bad, for what it is. Shame that the franchise just sort of went down the tubes after this one. Happy to see Bill here though - great addition.
