Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Allison Mack's feature debut before Smallville fame. She plays the computer nerd who hacks the camp database.
Released during the peak of 'kids vs. clueless adults' cinema (1993-1995), it bombed theatrically but became a cable TV staple that an entire generation watched 47 times on TBS.
