Joe Dante hates this film admits he did it as a favour

Love Dante, love Hellman, even love Russel. I've got this on DVD. It should have stayed trapped.

This part made me chuckle:

The real standouts here are the veteran actors. Saxon and Gibson know exactly what kind of movie they’re in and play into it without overselling. Some of the newer or lesser-known performers don’t fare as well. Their delivery can be stiff, and it becomes pretty clear who’s been around the block and who just found the set.
