Well let's see, you have Richard Moll as Satan, an 80's computer geek, and some idiotic looking puppets coupled with seven directors. This could not end well and as such, it didn't. It starts with our geek, Paul Bradford, hard at work making his boss look stupid. After a quick jog home and a flash to his girlfriend Gwen, at the dance studio, we see the object of Paul's affection, his computer "X-Calibr8." We are then treated to a dispute between Paul and Gwen about his infatuation with his computer.

Little did anyone know but Satan was watching and he wants to play a little game against Paul. Satan now kidnaps Paul and Gwen and forces Paul to compete in seven adventures to win their freedom and keep control of their souls. The challenges consist of defeating zombies, saving Gwen from a slasher, battling an 80's metal band, a stone giant, a musem filled with killers, an angel in a cave, and the only one he fails, a desert race in a post apocalypitic world. This all leads to Paul challenging Satan to a bout of fist to cuffs. Unbelievably, Paul casts Satan into a lava pit.

What can I say about this film? It had animated dragons by Disney! That should tell you something! If not, I have four words for you ... Puff the Magic Dragon! The story was good and the actors were pretty good but the seven directors were totally unnecessary and a bit of a hinderance to the potential of the film. Too many conflicting visions and it clashed in areas of this film. As such, it suffered. Still, it was a decent film and worthy of a viewing. Can't complain since it only cost me four bucks!
