About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a breezy, old-school action-comedy with constant scuffles, broad jokes, and a tropical treasure-hunt vibe, similar to Crime Busters or Super Fuzz; Not for you if racist stereotypes or very silly humor bother you.
Pros: goofy slapstick brawls; light family adventure; catchy upbeat vibe | Cons: tired thin plot; uneven pacing; offensive stereotypes
