Should you see it? Only to see the cast.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

Cyclone (1987)
How bad is it? It's very brainless.
Should you see it? Only to see the cast.
This film by Fred Olen Ray (see also previous review) was from his "peak" years of directing more than 130 films. It's about a motorcycle prototype that has the power of a fighter jet and shoots lasers. It also comes with a helmet that shoots lasers. Apparently, lasers are cool and easy to film. Like all Ray films, this has its jiggle factor, mostly at the start, as we see Heather Thomas in a gym exercising and then in the locker room (where women shower in the background). The cycle is stolen and the film's all about recovering it. As the film proceeds, you get treated to surprise actors: Martin Landau, Robert Quarry, Russ Tamblyn, Troy Donahue, Martine Beswick and even Huntz Hall (and if you don't recognize those names, you need to watch a lot more movies)! The film has little else going for it.
