The Plot... A cargo donkey train loaded with nuclear warheads has been hijacked by a good guy gone bad (Anthony Quinn). With the aid of a contracted explosives specialist, the FBI hopes to intercept the borrowed technologies and get them back to their rightful owner. PETA, with the aid of Carter Speedstitch (Will Smith), must race through the jungle to return the pilfered nuclear warheads safely to the Argentinian people. And if this wasn't enough, he has only 8 days to do it. With the assistance of a leather-faced veteran (Jon Voight), our heroes must skateboard through the Swiss Alps to return the pilfered thermo-nuclear explosives safely to the Japanese people. All this turns sour as he realises that his common law wife (Angelina Jolie) has been kidnapped by the the bad guys. Added to the mix there is the screwball antics of a jive talkin' soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when held prisoner by the the villain says: "What kinda FUCKED up place is this?!?!" It won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Ray Liotta) has secrets pertaining to his sordid life of crime. Just as our hero are marching off on their dangerous mission, they suddenly all burst into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the chagrin of NASA . At the final moment the President recites a decree to the citizens of the world. While this moment of truth happens he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. Drop the bombs, Commander." A CIA chemical specialist watching at home answers this with: "I just hope we're not too late." Coming next winter. This film is not yet rated.
