Not as good as the trailer. Not as good as Black Dynamite. But it was still fun. The biggest problem with the movie ironically is that it focuses too much on things like story telling and character growth. They're all very effective but they aren't the comedic aspects. The comedy is there and it's good when it's there. Also considering it's legacy I was hoping for more meta commentary.
Casting Russell Peters as the native group's Big Chief was a hilarious bit of that. I think the final town fight had clips from other films in it though it's hard to tell. I wish it had leaned in more to how some ridiculous some of the behind the scenes tropes were. At one point I thought the movie was going to end in a giant meta break like The Quest for the Holy Grail.
