- Wheaton’s inconsistent exaggerated New York accent and dangling earring supply unintentional comedy; the jewelry is corrected from a cross to an ankh.
- Astin’s climbing, running, sliding and driving look impressively athletic, inspiring a hypothetical Billy–Rudy crossover.
- Opening in Colombia and throwing a judge from a helicopter are enjoyable action conventions.
- The judge’s flying robes, Yogurt’s name, Wheaton’s demeanor, the score and elaborate shooting-victim reactions are enjoyed.
- The boys’ detailed intelligence folder and maps are impressively organized.
- The Guinness-record expulsion joke recalls familiar action-film dialogue.
- Phone-sex lines recall a period of scarce adult material and communal teenage curiosity.
