In the bizarre world of REDBOY 13, the good guys and bad guys alike sport kid's toys for real weapons and fly computer-animated planes and helicopters in their journey to HO-scale miltary camps in the backyard jungle. This film isn't like ANYTHING you've ever seen, a military/spy epic constructed from things you might find in your 13-year old's closet. Robert Logan is pretty much straight-faced through the whole movie as the stone-like, inexplicably omnipotent Colonel Calcan. Roy-Brown is fairly believable as a kid who wields a lunchbox and an Uzi with equal aplomb. It's kind of a tribute to the end of the Cold War, and a pretty funny parody of Rambo III. Follow the links, there's an incredible story about how this was made. The director is some sort of tech whiz who decided to make a movie. He wrote the script, built his own studio and camera crane, wrote his own software for the computer animation, and even performs three different parts in the film (but you would never guess they were the same person). The result is flawed, grandiose, goofy, but brilliant.
