I was already well into adulthood when it was released (my kids were already in their teens) and I made a point of carefully avoiding it. I felt justified in this when I caught the last couple of minutes and saw the Village People, of all things.
Now reading your descriptions of the shots of Pampanito I'm rethinking that decision, especially when DVDs are so cheap these days. I have some absolutely dreadful movies in my collection just for a shot of a submarine or airplane, so why should I change now?
