All in all, a childishly fun revisiting of the characters and story. It'll help if you're already a big fan of cowboys, big trucks, and car jumps, and, of course, the first film.

A lot of drama went on behind the scenes during the shooting, and at times can be glimpsed on the screen, including Sally's and Burt's strained relationship, Jackie Gleason's health, and Hal Needham's direction.

The sign in front of the church wonderfully demonstrates the level of humor throughout this movie:

"Texarkana Reformed, United, Evangelical, Fundamental Church Of God, The Twelve Apostles And Assorted Saints"

I was very pleased to see my heroes from my young teens again. Unfortunately, having made modern computers and electronics my profession, it was extremely difficult to suspend my disbelief when it came to the tech in this new and final adventure. I was also struck (dumbfounded) by the contrast between Lyndsay's and Lee's acting--she acted circles around him! No wonder Jamie had more of a following than Steve (other than her killer beauty). Anyway, while the writing suffered, it was definitely nice to finally see them wed. By the way, I don't know if the restaurant company was a sponsor, but look for the cameo of Wendy's founder Dave Thomas in the basement of the embassy. Had to rewind and look at it again 'cause it so surprised me.

My calculations are quick and dirty, but as far as I can figure, a 35' Twinkie would weigh FAR more than 600lbs.

If the average normal Twinkie is 4" long x 1.25" wide x 1.25" tall, and weighs 43 grams (0.0947988 pounds), then a 35' Twinkie would be about 11' high and 11' tall. The volume of such a Twinkie would hold approx. 1,157,625 normal Twinkies.

According to http://www.nutritional-information.info/item54852.aspx , one Hostess Twinkie weighs 43 grams, or 0.0947988 pounds. That means that a 35' Twinkie would weigh approximately 109,741.461 pounds.

Someone check my math, will ya?
