Cast

Production

Hogan himself saw the film as a "low-budget kids' film". [3]

Release

The film was released direct-to-video on August 16, 1996. Platinum Disc released a DVD version on February 8, 2005.

Reception

The film is listed by WhatCulture as part of the "tidal wave of garbage" in Hogan's acting career. [4]

A contemporary review calls the film "a dim-witted riff on True Lies ". [5] The Lexikon des internationalen Films states: "A James Bond adventure for children was probably the starting point for this film, but incompetent actors, a miserable script, inferior tricks and great lack of craftsmanship make this idea worthless. Only the cynicism of the filmmakers is visible." [6]
