Wild Wild West

1999

USA

Steampunk flavored mess with Branagh hamming it up as a legless megalomaniac bent on taking over the USA and selling it off with help of a giant mechanical spider. Kline and Smith are the two Secret Service agents tasked with stopping him. Hilarity ensues...

Not quite as bad as its reputation implies, but certainly not a great film, either. Being based on an inventive and funny TV show, and given the talent involved, it should have been much, much more.
