Maybe it's an early blockbuster spoof

Looking at this movie again at the beginning of 2008, not only did it not feel old-fashioned, but it had a "modern flavor" that is popular nowadays-a spoof!
In the "blockbuster era", with explosions, speeding chases, and gunfire flooding, re-examining the impact of these effects on the movie can only be said to be a visual dust, and there are very few things that you really feel.
After all, the movie must be watching fireworks shows. The big scene may temporarily drive the box office, but in the long run, there will be no content and insights, or the so-called content and insights, the final market for "blockbuster films" may be in jeopardy.

Tribute to the producer in 1993!
