With the aid of a retired stick in the mud (Sean Connery), the good guys must skateboard through the New Jersy Turnpike to return the hijacked government secrets safely to the Japanese government. The situation turns sour as he figures out that his old flame (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been kidnapped by the the villain. Added to the mix there is the screwball antics of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the villain says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" All this won't be easy because an old rival with a score to settle (Al Pacino) has secrets concerning his lackluster criminal record. Just as the good guys are setting out on their perlious mission, they slowly join in on a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the dismay of the NCAA . In a stunning climax the President fumbles through a decree to the peoples of the world. As this dramatic grandstanding unfolds he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Drop the bombs, Commander." A PMRC explosives specialist watching at home replies: "I just hope he's right."
