Young Randy Cambell yearns to be New Zealand's greatest living stuntman, but his rocket powered BMX will not get him across Cook Strait. Years later, after many heartbreaks, Randy constructs a massive ramp and a rocket car - he still plans to jump the 15 miles across Cook Strait. Is this a suicide attempt? Does he plan to follow the path of his father and grandfather and die in a bloody, burning wreck? Another splatter comedy, sort of a "Evil Knievel meets Bad Taste". Not for everyone, but I guarantee most everyone can find humour here, even though they may not admit it.

Censor Rating: R16 - Review rating: C+

There is an R4 PAL dvd available from various New Zealand sellers for about $20nz. An R1 ntsc version is available for about $18us. The R4 disc is presented in the original 1.78:1 with 5.1 English dolby digital sound; the R1 in 1.33:1. Extras include a commentary track; a "Behind the Scenes" (28:23) featurette; a music video (3:46); a "Director's Cut" (16:00), deleted scenes (14:43); trailer; still image gallery and a "Spinning Devil Game" and I have no idea how they added things up to a "Total Running Time: 226 minutes" that is indicated on the dvd slick.

There is a two-disc set available from German, and other European sources, that contains an all regions 1080i Blu-ray and an all regions DVD. The Blu-ray has both the original English language track (DD 2.0) and spoken German language track in DTS-HD Master 5.1 or DD 5.1.

It also contains a bonus film, 'Car Crash' aka: 'Midnight Spares' (85 minutes) presented 1.78:1 with German and English spoken soundtracks and German subtitles. I have no idea why this 1983 Australian 'B' flick was added. The 2-disc package sells for about 15eur.
