Leeper This film has the distinction of being the only 3-D film of 1983 that did not look like a cheap imitation of ROAD WARRIOR. It is a flyweight invisible man story starring Steve Gutenberg (who was the fifth lead in DINER). This film would have had to include a treatise on nuclear proliferation to elevate it to the level of "fluff." At the height of network TV's attempts to create comic-book heroes back around 1976, this film would have been too weak and silly for network TV, and that's pretty silly when you consider what made it to TV in that period. It has a plot aimed at a seven-year-old mind, and nudity to make sure that it is appropriate to no audiences. Don't bother. (Evelyn C. Leeper for) Mark R. Leeper ...ihnp4!lznv!mrl
