Oh hi,

This week on Filmsack, we Go Go INSPECTOR GADGET no after Disney starts maniacally laughing and tenting its late 90 live action hands to bring to life an 80s animated DIC (without a K) classic and then immediately kills it with a terrible script they shoved down Andy Dick’s pants (with a K) after I can only assume … he escaped from the set of Beakman’s World? How ya doing 90s kids? We love you. Now lookout this movie is trying to escape from the Disney Vault and slip out of it’s VHS Clamshell box to destroy your childhood memories on Disney plus. A real Yogi Nut Punch.    

Anywho, move aside doctors and nurses. It is I… the sexy scientist and I have brought the entire police force here today to watch me remove this man’s insides without his permission and replace it with the contents of my kitchen’s junk drawer. Go Go Gadget malpractice lawsuit.

Randy, Try the big hole in the wall. Wowsers, 10 miles per hour in the parking lot Disney.

BRIEF

Inspector Gadget (1999) is Disney’s live-action take on the classic ‘80s animated series, following the origin story of how bumbling security guard John Brown (Matthew Broderick) becomes the gadget-filled, crime-fighting cyborg we all know and… tolerate. With the help of his niece Penny and her dog Brain, Gadget must stop the evil Dr. Claw, now known as Sanford Scolex, from taking over Riverton with his army of robo-minions and questionable one-liners.

Rated: PG | 1999 | Action/Comedy | 1h 18m
