Carrying over from the first Dexter Riley movie, we have most of the same returning faces. So far it's that darn ol' lightning that causes the potion to work, just like it gave Dex the super-smarts in the last movie.
AJ Arno is out of jail as well.
I saw this is the theater and it was always one of my favorites.
More when I'm done.

I saw this at a drive-in, myself, and it was so long ago that frankly it sort of scares me how long ago that was. Very entertaining with nice visual effects! And now available on a widescreen DVD...and yes, that Kurt Russell guy is STILL working!

It was a lot of fun. The cast was good and the effects are simple and for the most part, completely effective. I was surprised at how little I remembered of the movie, though. The set up, the golfing, all not in my memory banks. All I remembered was Romero being the villain, and not even much of that. It did come back pretty quickly, but all in all, it was almost like watching a new movie. Next up, my favorite- THE STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD!

The film was about invisibility, and wasn't it also produced by Disney? Along those lines, didn't Disney produce still another film about invisibility called "Mister Super-Invisible" starring Dean Jones? I've seen only the Kurt Russel film but Not the Dean Jones. Has anyone seen it?

There was a Dean Jones "series" I think, "The Misadventures of Merlin Jones" was the name of one movie (I think) but I don't recall much about it. I think it was more episodic than these movies. Disney did produce this one. I like Strongest Man best, although I wish it had started the same way the other two did.
