The Plot... A cargo donkey train loaded with CIA information has been borrowed by military genius (Anthony Quinn). With the aid of a government explosives expert, the FBI hopes to intercept the borrowed technologies and get them back to their owner. The PMRC, with the help of Henry Speedwright (Will Smith), must skateboard through the rain forest to return the hijacked thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the Argentinian military. As if it wasn't hard enough, he has a mere 5 minutes to do it. With the help of a grizzled marine (Sean Connery), the good guy must skateboard through the Sahara Desert to deliver the hijacked CIA information promptly to the English government. All this turns sour as he realises that his 8th grade Social Studies teacher (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working with the the villain. Added to the mix we have the zany tomfoolery of a smart alec black man (Dave Chapelle) who when kidnapped by the evildoers says: "Wassup Muthafuckas?" All this will prove difficult because an old rival with a score to settle (Samuel L. Jackson) has secrets regarding his lackluster past. Just as the good guys are departing on their perlious journey, they slowly all burst into a sing-along of Love that Dirty Water much to the embarrassment of the NCRP . At the final moment the President fumbles through a speech to the citizens of the world. While this moment of truth happens he says: "Terrorism in all its diabolical forms will not be tolerated. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A CIA chemical hacker watching at home replies: "He better be right... for our sake." Coming next summer.
