Reception

From contemporary reviews, a reviewer credited as "Lor." of Variety reviewed the film on March 21, 1987.[2] "Lor." referred to the film as lifting equal amounts from both the Star Wars and Indiana Jones films and had poor derivative music from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.[2] "Lor." stated that O'Keeffe is embarrassing, posing instead of acting and like the rest of the cast, stuck with a funny looking punk-influenced hairdo.[2]
