Standout Aspects

Acting

Paul Walker's surfer-dude accent is a choice that haunts us.

Practical Effects

Genuine trained prairie dogs, the film's true stars.

Costume

Neoprene wetsuits meet khaki ranger uniforms. Fashion crime.

Best for:Friends: Irony appreciation required. Bring someone who loves bad movies.·Background: Perfect for folding laundry while glancing up occasionally.·Rewatch: Only if you remember renting this from Blockbuster.
Heads up:Disturbing: Robert Englund as a tattooed, dreadlocked villain will scar children of Freddy fans.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This was Paul Walker's first leading role after Pleasantville, and he reportedly took surfing lessons for months only to spend most of the film in a ranger uniform.

Cultural

Meet the Deedles bombed so spectacularly it became a cautionary tale in studio marketing—Disney buried it with minimal promotion despite the extreme sports trend of the late 90s.
