I find myself saying "How does that even WORK?" every time i see that automatic fist gag. Also, fear the day that the "Automated Fist" becomes linked to a metal band music video.
I remember seeing this movie when I was 5, and I was so in awe of the huge tub with the toy battleships, and all I could think was that I didn't know who Francis was or what he did, but that was exactly how I wanted to be when I grew up.
