Wonderful Disney Magic!

This movie has everything that made Disney magical in the 60's and 70's. It had great humor, a great all star cast of familiar faces and Kurt Russell. This was the last of the films he made at Disney and it's his thirs best behind Barefoot Executive and Now You See Him, Now You Don't. I love every single part where he uses the strength fromula. The part where he pours it in the car and when he lifts the bar bells are the best. I also love where he throws a guy into the other guys for a struke. The only thing that has bothered me over the years is that Kurt Russell disappears for about a half an hour in the middle of the film. I know they had other scenes to cover, but they should not leave the star out of the picture so long. This is still a great film.

You're about 10 years old, right?

I agree -- the absence of Kurt Russell throughout the middle of the film is sorely felt. Still, he's great here -- hard to believe in less than 10 years he'd be Snake Plissken.
