Damn, what fun movie, and what a great cast; Kelsey Grammer, Lauren Holly, Bruce Dern, Harry Dean Stanton, William H. Macy, Rip Torn.

Just watched again today, and it still holds up

Decent flick, though a bit far-fetched at times.

Rob Schneider was off the charts, for as long as he lasted.

Seen it a few times and would watch it again.

Yep, a lot of zany characters supplying a healthy dose of laughs throughout the movie.

Never was a big fan of Bruce Dern because he seems to have been type cast as an a-hole in most of his movies.

The only one I liked him in was when he played the old man in the nursing home sharing a room with the Down Syndrome guy in "The Peanut Butter Falcon".

Great movie.

To this day, if anyone asks if I have any tattoos, I tell them I have "Welcome Aboard" tattooed on my penis.

Now you know it just says "Hi" since there's probably so little space to work with.

It’s a good flick.



I’ve always had a soft spot for old tech going up against new tech.

Submariners absolutely love burning Down Periscope on crew's mess. They consider it to be one of the most accurate films ever made about sub life in the peace time Navy.

Had to look this up as I didn't know of it.

Lauren Holly was not wearing a bikini unfortunately.
