The Plot... A cargo plane full of government secrets has been pilfered by a former U.S. General (Anthony Quinn). With the assistance of a contracted weapons expert, PETA hopes to reclaim the borrowed technologies and return them to their original owner. The NCRP, with the help of Humphrey Goodspeed (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), must skateboard through the jungle to return the borrowed thermo-nuclear explosives in a timely manner to the English people. As if this wasn't enough, he has only 15 days to do it. With the assistance of a grizzled navy seal (Sean Connery), our heroes must motorbike through the rain forest to return the stolen CIA information safely to the Argentinian government. The Predicament turns sour as he realises that his brother's girlfriend (Catherine Zeta-Jones) has been working for the the villain. Along with this we have the loveable slapstick of a sass-talking soul brother (Dave Chapelle) who when captured by the the villain says: "Wassup my niggas?" However this will prove difficult because a nosy reporter (Lawrence Fishburne) has information about his ugly life of crime. Just as our hero are setting off on their perlious journey, they suddenly join in on a sing-along of Magic Carpet Ride much to the embarrassment of PETA . At the final moment the President recites a decree to the peoples of the world. While this moment of truth unfolds he says: "When I took office, they never told me THIS would happen. Mankind will survive. Mankind MUST survive!" A PETA explosives specialist watching a TV in a store window replies: "I hope god is on our side." Coming next fall. This film is not yet rated.
