A simple eight minute short which manages to demonstrate the unique style Rodriguez would soon become famous for. The special effects were well done, as was the camera work, complete with effective use of a multitude of angles and alternate speeds. The sound effects were also very well done, and I still can't figure out how he did many of them. While not his first film by a longshot (he made 30 other shorts before this, over a period of ten years) this was an obviously low budget production (he used his siblings for the actors). However, it did a brilliant job of showing off his potential, and, along with his first, ultra low budget feature film, he was able to get representation at ICM and became a major player in the Hollywood game.
