Production[edit]
According to TV Guide, the film was shot in 1983 but shelved until 1988.[2]
Reception[edit]
The film remained almost entirely obscure until internet personality and filmmaker James Rolfe (best known for the Angry Video Game Nerd webseries) reviewed it as part of his mock feud with Doug Walker (Nostalgia Critic) in 2008. He panned the film for its mostly subpar attempts at clever humor, poor plot, and nonsensical references that had nothing to do with the Rocky films.[3]
