Is it that obvious?Ĭome on, Uncle John, you just need to.loosen up. Tomorrow promises to be quite an evening. So, he's the lucky duck they plucked for the Gadget Program. Why, it's that annoying little security guard from the institute. Shouldn't we be working together, helping people?! Isn't there an off button or something? A mute? Sorry, sir!ĭon't push my buttons without reading the manual! Ooh, watch out there, now! Ha-ha! You're- Don't make me go "De-La-Hoya!" on you. Now, look here, come clean with me, or I'm gonna bounce you right outta here. Hey, I got heat sensors, and I know what you're thinkin' when Dr. Not that it's any of your business, but what makes you think I was putting the moves on Dr. Well, you know what makes me people sick? A rookie who thinks he's good enough for Dr. Whoo! More back turns!Ĭan you slow down, please? I- I get carsick. Speaking of breaking the law, who's not wearing a seat belt? You gotta wear the belt, baby. Speed limits are for cars, not the Gadgetmobile. I'm Officer John Brown, and you're exceeding the speed limit. Who you calling "car"? I'm a crime-fighting machine. Before we hit the road, I gotta tell you somethin'. Good mornin', Riverton! Hey! Who's in the car? I work alone! Hey. Bradford, there's something I just have to ask you.

Okay, now, it has voice activation, ejection seats, a power-assisted metamorphic camouflage system, a cardio-homing device, then there's a periscope, a candy-ĭr. Now, it may look simple, but this thing has just about as many factory extras as you do. You made me a car? The only thing anybody's ever made me before is a sweater.Īll right. Also, I don't remember if, uh, you enjoy that medieval fair, but. And I know how much you enjoy Japanese food so I made you a sushi hand. Well, first we have the opera hand, for those special nights out. Claw, I know how much you like to maintain an active lifestyle, so I have managed to, um, design a few interchangeable options. One that send my enemies cowering in fear. Very "diabolical." I deserve a dashing appellation.ĭashing appellation? What is that, a hillbilly with a tuxedo? This is sort of post-modern Captain Hook kind of feel it. But children of a certain age will almost certainly engage with the more clever stuff and forgive the rest. The action is shaky, the script plods along, and the effects soon take over Everett has to go to the extremes of hamminess just to be seen above it. Scolex, who blames Gadget for having to wear a prosthetic hand, develops an evil robot twin of the good inspector, causing much mischief and giving Broderick an opportunity to poke fun at his own performance of the virtuous Inspector. A crimefighter in raincoat and fedora, and equipped with a nifty Gadgetmobile, the hero investigates the death of a man linked to the villainous Sanford Scolex (Rupert Everett). Matthew Broderick plays the security guard who is physically transformed into a multi-use cyborg with a zillion attachments, from stilts to helicopter blades to skis. As a video, it's easier to take and appreciate for what works best in the story: the special effects.

Strictly for kids, this 1999 live-action feature version of the popular cartoon series seems long even at 80 minutes.
