Eighteen years after seeing their mother overdose in a seedy Hollywood motel room, a pair of permanently warped siblings attempts to fulfill their mother's dying wish that they both become world class ventriloquists. The son hasn't said a word since the day he watched his mother die, and daughter is determined to make it to Las Vegas by whatever means possible. They both come from a long line of talented ventriloquists, but these days the balance of power has shifted in the dummy's favor. Now, as these twisted siblings embark on a murderous desert rampage, it's plain to see who's really in control here. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

This groan-inducing would-be camp from the director of Leprechaun boasts some good makeup by Kevin Yagher but is still easily the worst of the '90s crop of fairy-tale horrors. Kim Johnston Ulrich plays a widowed mother who buys a jade rock at an antique store. When she cries on it, she releases Rumpelstiltskin (Max Grodenchik), a soulless hunchbacked gnome who grants wishes, demanding newborn babies as his price. He also spews a lot of bogus Freddie Krueger wisecracks, dons sunglasses to ride a motorcycle, and pulls off his own head to bite a cop's neck. Most of the film follows Ulrich and an obnoxious talk-show host (Tommy Blaze) as they flee from the little goon with Ulrich's baby. There are chases by motorcycle, 18-wheeler, dune buggy, bulldozer, and police car, as well as several crowd-pleasing explosions. At one point, Ulrich runs over the gnome and his severed hand gives her the finger. That should give an indication of the level of entertainment contained herein. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide

Friends star Jennifer Aniston made her film debut in this horror story about a psychotic, six-centuries-old leprechaun on a murder spree throughout North Dakota. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Movie Guide

The "brass" hopes to keep Hunter (Fred Dryer) and McCall (Stepfanie Kramer) out of mischief by ordering the two detectives to investigate a series of muggings. Instead, Rick and Dee Dee characteristically go off on their own tangent as they try to establish the connection between two seemingly random murders. The catalyst for all the intrigue turns out to be a demented ex-convict who has sworn a terrible vengeance on the members of the jury which sent him up. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The A-Team is hired to protect Salina (Sue Kiel), the daughter of middle-eastern potentate Sheik Kamal Fad, from being assassinated by rebels on the eve of her wedding. Problem is, Salina doesn't want to be protected--especially since she's fallen in love with opportunistic rebel leader Koram (John Saxon). And if that wasn't enough of a complication, Face (Dirk Benedict) is himself smitten by the alluring Salina. This is the episode in which Murdock (Dwight Schultz) poses as that dashing adventurer "Pasadena Murdock" (fedora and all!). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A Kenya game preserve is being plundered by a poacher named Madrid (John Calvin), who is working hand in glove with illegal animal trader McKaydoo (John Calvin). When her brother is killed by the villains, attractive game warden Kamora Kaboko (Daphne Maxwell Reid) turns to the A-Team for help. Complications ensue when B.A. (Mr. T) falls in love with Kamora--and is so smitten that he almost overcomes his fear of monkeys! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The A-Team gets the opportunity to officially represent Law and Order when they're deputized to keep the peace in Rivertown, a small village in the South American republic of San Marcus. The village, built to house the workers from a local power plant, has been plagued by mysterious accidents in which several workers have vanished. Among those missing is the brother of Nikki Monroe (Wendy Kilbourne), who is conducting her own investigation--and placing herself in serious jeopardy as a result. The climax involves a secret missile base and a spectacular mine cave-in, not to mention the muscular heroics of good old B.A. (Mr. T). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Someone has been stealing valuable parts from an auto plant--and isn't above committed murder to hide his tracks. Hired by plant foreman Rudy Garcia (Joe Santos), the A-Team goes undercover, with several of our heroes posing as repairman in their own shop, "Otto's Auto Parts." While Hannibal (George Peppard) dons several disguises and Murdock (Dwight Schultz) hides inside a soda machine (!), Face (Dirk Benedict) uses the opportunity to get his hands on a flashy "pimp-mobile"--which of course figures prominently in the climax. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
