Never mind the fact that Evel can't act, the preposterous plot, or the lack of any really cool jumps (though there are a couple of okay ones), this movie dies on just being slow and tedious. You take a famous stunt jumper and make him deal with Gene Kelly's family troubles? Give him a love interest reporter gal? Make him the target of drug dealers? Such a missed opportunity to exploit a real character by putting him in a dumb situation.
