What I found watching this movie was the slow motion sequences. The flying bullets (as mentioned before) sequence would not be seen again until a more modern version of this is demonstrated almost 40 years later in the movie "The Matrix", with the same wide eyed incredulous disbelieve that such a thing could be possible. The movie does have that Disney feel, the dismissed professor by the military, the less than suave behavior with the ladies, the henchmen lurking in the shadows ready to pounce at the right moment, all connected together by funny sequences of self discovery of a new power, and not quite sure on the best way to handle it, focus it, or for the best possible use of it! The rule of "Three's" applies here with comical results, to point, to shoot, or to point and shoot together. Much like our own nuclear age, to point at a country and make them queasy, to say the word "Nuclear" to make them slow down, or to do both, and destroy permanently, that city or country along with our own innocents. This is a movie for all audiences, young and old, and I highly recommend it when a copy can be found, enjoy!
Zotz!
