Sinopsis(1)
Howard Langston es un atareado hombre de negocios que llega tarde a la clase de kárate de su hijo Jamie. Para que le perdone promete regalarle lo que pida por navidad: Jamie le pide un muñeco Turboman. El problema es que el juguete es el más popular y está agotado en todas las jugueterías. Contando sólo con unas pocas horas antes de la Navidad, Howie inicia una cómica odisea por toda la ciudad a la caza y captura del preciado juguete. (20th Century Fox España)

Well, this is pure bollocks, though especially in the first half there are some very successful moments that can entertain to some extent. Actually, I might have given a higher rating if the filmmakers had done away with the overly action-packed and at the same time rather boring ending, when Arnold in the Turboman suit unsuccessfully parodies Superman, Batman and other comic book heroes. It should be added that I definitely don't consider Arnie to be one of the weaknesses of this film, on the contrary, his presence alone improves many passages. 60%

Arnold, you should stick to Collateral Damage instead of this. You’ll never be a comedian, even if you had a red nose implanted on your face and dressed permanently as a clown.

Yes, it’s a total guilty pleasure, but it’s the kind you loved as a kid and can still vividly remember watching. I can even recall the couch I was sitting on the day after Christmas when I first saw it. And honestly, I’m surprised it still works its magic after all these years. This is absolutely Arnold’s movie — he’s hilariously terrible in a way that only makes him more lovable. That salute from his on-screen kid in the final scene? Pure gold. It’s the moment Arnold officially became the ultimate all-American hero.

I like Arnold, and even though this is a really big nonsense that is incredibly predictable, thanks to him I was able to enjoy it at least a bit. It's not a great movie because you really know everything from the first five minutes, but maybe the ending with the real Turboman is well done and B-movie-style action-packed.
