Innocent and innocuous superhero fantasy about a retired Army weapons expert (basketballer Shaquille O'Neal: half a foot taller than the military maximum, but if David Robinson can join the service, why can't Shaq?) who, in a suit of bulletproof armor, teams up with a paraplegic colleague called "Sparky" (Annabeth Gish, a real actress) and a ghetto junkman (Richard Roundtree), a likable trio, to take on a megalomaniac arms dealer (Judd Nelson). Modest production values and shameless Hollywood in-jokes (re: Shaq's free-throw woes, Roundtree's long-ago role as Shaft, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Batman, etc.). And get a good look at that Ed Wood-worthy "sidewalk café" at the end: tables set up right on top of the city sidewalk and all the way across the curbside grass! Written and directed by Kenneth Johnson. (1997) — Duncan Shepherd
