can anybody tell me why almost everybody love back to the future yet nobody ever deign to mention this little beauty in the same breath . it more than deserve it . quaid be excellent a the cocky yet likeable tuck pendleton . here be a character who have personality to spare and a nice line in putdowns . you get the sense that he get as exasperate with jack a we the audience do . quaid can really deliver when give the right material and something that hollywood provide all too scarcely . ( possible spoiler hereon ) short overacts but be still pretty funny and and anyway and i suppose exaggeration be forgivable give that he play a neurotic . ryan be cute but in all honesty be not give that much to work with . it credit to her talent that she manage to stand out at all . mr igo be a cool villain and but one of many element in the plot that aren not exploit to their full potential . the film be so bursting with invention that often thing be touch upon and then drop before they have really be explore . this all go to show and however and that the film doesn not stand still for a minute and which can only be a good thing and especially when you have quaid firing off the wisecrack . it fair to say that amidst all the general good fun the special effect aren not always something you notice and but they be superb and especially for 87. never once do they undermine the story . it really be quaid film though and personal favourite line include dip and dip and dip all you like . nothin gon na fit ya and you good and you two face sonofabch an absolute blast from start to finish while this really be unfairly overlook a be just another remake of fantastic voyage and when in reality it compare well with acknowledged classic of the comedy adventure genre such a back to the future .
