Gunpowder

About This Movie

So, 'Gunpowder' from 1986 is one of those quirky films that blends action and comedy in such a strange way. You've got Dr. Vache’s absurd plan to sink the global economy with gold, which is just bonkers. The pacing is kind of all over the place—some moments drag, while others hit you with rapid-fire jokes. The chemistry between the spies, Gunn and Powder, adds a layer of charm, though the performances can feel a bit scattered. The practical effects, especially in the action scenes, have that retro charm, even if they aren't cutting-edge. It's distinctive for how it balances tension with humor, giving it an odd but engaging energy that keeps you watching.
