The presence of Paul Lynde, in a small role, reveals more about the quality and tone of this film than the three top names.

The silly jokes are the point, not the plot, though Needham includes some impressive stunts. Some of the most notable draw blatantly on Warner Brothers roadrunner and Daffy Duck cartoons; notably, the film came from Columbia, not Warner. The film's attempt at satire is too heavy-handed to have bite. Bill Wu, Rovi
