Plot

Teri (Heather Thomas) leaves the gym and stops by a motorcycle repair shop to pick up parts for her inventor boyfriend Rick (Jeffery Combs). Rick has developed the ultimate motorcycle, the Cyclone. It is a $5 million bike equipped with rocket launchers and laser guns, which only needs oxygen to operate. After arriving home. Teri and Rick head out to a local hotspot. When Rick is murdered by those who wish to gain control of the prototype, it is up to his girlfriend Teri to keep the Cyclone from falling into the wrong hands. Teri can trust no one but herself.

Cast

Reception

TV Guide gave the movie 2 out of 5 stars, finding the B movie cast to be of more interest than the movie itself. [3] According to the review site DVDtalk, the movie is fun, comparing it to an episode of Knight Rider or maybe Streethawk, although many of the effects are lacking by modern standards. [4] Moria like the premise of the film, and enjoyed Olen's genre in-jokes and sometimes an appealingly cynical sense of humor, but found that little was done with the premise. [5]
