The premise for this short is one of our all-time favorite plot devices: someone takes PCP to develop superhuman strength. In this instance, Pat is able to jump over a car which then crashes. Ostensibly, it was a commercial for Adidan-brand athletic shoes, but the deeper meaning is obvious. The movie was filmed on a road between an aluminum processing plant and baseball fields where John and Paul played during the summer. The theme song to the Nickelodeon show "My Brother and Me" is playing throughout. John is driving the much-beloved Buick LeSabre which was featured in several of our movies and then was lampooned in the "Buick. Strong." commercials. Tom first experimented with computer-enhanced jumping in this film, and later perfected it in the "2-on-2 Slam" movies and elsewhere.
