The greatest movie ever!
Humaira Grant
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Rio Hayward
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Some spoilers.After many, many viewings of the MST3K version of this film, I'm still in a fog over just why Robert Denby does the things he does. Why did he blow up that jet? Does he work for a rival defense contractor? Why does he want to crash the Baxter Special? After all, he has the full backing of the Baxter company CEO, so who's behind this plot and why? Why would he go through all the trouble of being on the racing team, couldn't he just sneak into the garage some night and lace the car with deutrium? If he's a professional sabatuer, then who's paying him to perform these acts? If anyone has seen the uncut version of this prime time special... I mean feature film, could you please clear this up.The most compelling reason to watch this film are the laughable attempts to splice the two films together. Most hilarious are the scenes where Abby's watching the monitor (I kept thinking of the creepy Army guys in "Attack of the the Eye Creatures," who use similarly implausible technology to spy on smooching teens). Notice how the dialogue track doesn't match her lip movements in some shots. Seems they culled dialogue from yet another episode and patched it over the video of Abby watching the monitor. Just precious.

well let's just say that one line from "Riding with Death" completely summarizes the type of movie it is and that is a big, fat turkey. This one was deliciously roasted on MST by Mike and the oh so funny robots, with many references to how dopey the hero, Ben Murphy really is. The flimsy plot jumps from an explosive being transported in a truck to another explosive substance being used in a race car to kill off some people for no apparent reason. The reason for the jumping of the plot most likely stems from the fact that the movie is no more than 2 episodes of a short lived 70's T.V. series, slammed together and released in theatres. Oh well flimsy plot aside, the rest of the movie is just plain horrific, most of the bad stuff is in the form of awful acting, which raises the question as to how this got made into a T.V. show to begin with. Well, the MST version was a lot of fun, though this is still an incredibly bad movie. 9 for the MST version, none for the actual film.

This is actually two unrelated episodes of the 70's TV show "Gemini Man" strung together to form a movie. And a really bad one too. It's not hard to see why this show was so short lived. Stars Ben Murphy (of "Being From Another Planet" and "Parasite" fame) and the hideous Jim Stafford. A real awful, rotting chunk of 70's cheese.Good MST3K episode, though.

Ben Murphy, Mr. Mellow, stars in a TV show that somehow is a movie. I laughed the whole way through although this was a semi-serious movie. The plot was hopeless and the actors were unintentionally funny. Buffalo Bill or whatever his name was, was a sorry excuse for an actor who was Ben Murphy's extremely hickish trucker buddy. If you liked dukes of hazards, you may love this movie, but I would strongly suggest not to watch it. I give it a 2 out of 10
