Quotes
Hector: [discussing the Southern California heat] You have to know how to stay cool. I have a special method - one that renews both the mind and body.
Rachel: Go on.
Hector: I remove my clothes, and stand naked in my room. At first, the perspiration trickles slowly down my chest and back. Then as it begins to evaporate, my skin becomes alert to the faintest breeze. My organs of manhood, now free of restrictive garments hang low and unencumbered, my heart - she beats a gentle rhythm that is almost audible in the silence. It is then that I summon the spirits of my Aztec ancestors, men who endured the steaming heat of the jungle with strength and dignity. As their male power coarces through my body, I feel serene and refreshed, yet enormously potent. That is my method.
Rachel: Wow. I just... turn on the air conditioner.

Finally no Captain Kirk! Shanter as actor imagin that!

Finally a Shatner film with no stupid Star trek references in it ! My God he can act! Unlike the painful "Free Enterprise" made for all the " Please,Get a Life " trekkies, Shanter creates a new character and its pretty funny. He plays an escaped mental case who's "Voice cries out to be heard" and has a script that must be made under him arm. Shatner has many witty scenes that are a pleasure to watch. I was reminded of the old "Twilight Zone'"Shatner. It's nice to see Shanter with out all the dreary Star Trek baggage in tow.
