Takeoff on Captains Courageous, in which a full-grown upper-class twit (Chris Elliott) gets marooned on a fishing boat with a crew of rummy old salts. From there, it takes off into Seventh Voyage of Sinbad and Mysterious Island territory: a nautical zone called Hell's Bucket, with its shark-man (Russ Tamblyn), its blue-skinned six-armed love goddess (Ann Magnuson), its giant ice-man, its even more gigantic housewares salesman, etc. Phoney-funny sets and special effects, and altogether an offbeat sense of humor, but frankly a bit too off -- all the way to innocuous. Written and directed by Adam Resnick. (1994) — Duncan Shepherd
