Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlthough the leading couple are often presumed to be a send-up of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, the televangelists' scandal didn't erupt until five days before filming was completed.
- GoofsOfficer Depaul informs the sheriff that all members of the terrorist group are only armed with pistols (another character makes a similar comment later on). However, one of them carries a shotgun, visible at all times considering that there's cameras filming the group.
False: One officer says, "Look all they got in there is pistols and a two barrel. Don't blow it out of proportion. That's how wars get started." The two barrel is referring to a shotgun.

Featured review
This movie solidified my sheer love of all things Tim Curry (ha!). Seriously, a college pal was a video store employee at the time, found this and thought, "Hmm...." So a bunch of us had a Tim Curry Night Party at her place, and this was the "matinee" -- after viewing it, we should have made it the feature! My personal story aside, if you really want a good look at the inner workings of televangelism (at its all-time worst), and a good laugh to boot, then this is the movie for you! I just watched it again (for the kazillionth time, it seems), and I never fail to find something hilarious in it. So next time you're at the video store, looking for an interesting comedy, get this one! You won't be sorry!
