The only problem is that while I'm perfectly prepared to concede that  
any appearance of Christopher Lambert (_possibly_ with the exception  
of the original "Highlander", although it isn't Lambert that saves  
that movie) on a piece of celluloid might be argued to be an example  
of failure, no film that has even a single frame's worth of Patricia  
Velasquez is devoid of all redeeming social value. So movies that  
feature both of them are rather a tough call...
