EDITOR’S NOTE: Think Big aired on USA Up All Night on January 22, April 17 and August 27, 1993 and January 22, 1994.

Rafe and Victor (Peter and David Paul) are truckers down on their luck, trying to keep their truck from going back to the bank. For their last chance, they’re sent with a load of toxic waste and put on a timer, on their way to a company called Tech Star that uses child labor. One of the precocious geniuses is Holly Sherwood (Ari Meyers, Emma Jean from Katie & Allie), who hides in their truck with her invention that can turn off and turn on anything electronic. This puts them at odds with Dr. Bruekner (Martin Mull), the CEO of Tech Star, who wants Holly and her invention.

Claudia Christian is in this as a doctor, as is Richard Kiel as a hired thug and yes, Richard Moll is in it too. I wish we had had a buddy comedy with both of them in it. Throw in Michael Winslow, David Carradine and Tiny Lister? Man, who cast this movie!

Jon Turteltaub went from making movies like this to 3 Ninjas, Cool Runnings and While You Were Sleeping to both National Treasure movies and The Meg. He wrote the script with Jon Turteltaub (Xtro II: The Second Encounter) and David Tausik. The story came from Jim Wynorski and R.J. Robertson (Forbidden World, Deathstalker II, Big Bad Mama II, Not of This Earth, Munchie, House IV and Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time).
