Check Ben n Jerry Stiller here in very early cameos lol this is B-movie alright haha I love the Hellcop and the make up job on his face but thats about it, doesn't really make any sense, could do with a modern update.

Two young lovers get caught in an inter-dimensional speed trap, and are sent straight to hell. Fast-paced writing and action, as well as large dashes of humour and sight gags, make this an entertaining thriller.

Less a horror movie, more an infernal adventure as pizza delivery shmuck Chad Lowe journeys to Hell to save his girlfriend from the clutches of Hellcop, an accursed lawman who sports some wicked facial tattoos. Some original ideas about the wrong side of afterlife are presented while working with a meager budget, I particularly liked the literal hand-cuffs and the Good Intentions Paving Company. Some familiar faces in small roles included Ben Stiller(!), Jerry Stiller, Richard Farnsworth (from <i>The Natural</i>), Gilbert Gottfried, and supposedly Lita Ford who I somehow missed. One of those tweener flicks that can entertain when in the right frame of mind - not worth a Netflix queue, watch it On Demand instead.
