The suit’s forearm bracers had devices that could fling small hard yellow plastic “turbo disks” in rapid bursts (Projectile Weapons).The suit had a short-range radio comm system that allowed it to patch into wireless PA sound systems; this writeup assumes that the suit had its own integral speakers as well (Radio Communication, Super Ventriloquism).

Emanuel Levy felt the film "highly formulaic" and criticized Levant's direction as little more advanced than a television sitcom. Although he felt that the script did not provide sufficient opportunity for Hartman, Wilson and Conrad to give exceptional performances, he opined that "Schwarzenegger has developed a light comic delivery, punctuated occasionally by an ironic one-liner," while "Sinbad has good moments". [43] Neil Jeffries of Empire disagreed, feeling Schwarzenegger to be "wooden" and Sinbad to be "trying desperately to be funnier than his hat" but praised Lloyd as the "saving grace" of the film.

Brian Levant was hired to direct the film. Columbus said Levant "underst[ood] the humor in the material" and "was very animated and excited, and he had a vision of what he wanted to do". Levant said "The story that was important to me was between the father and son ... it's a story about love, and a father's journey to deliver it in the form of a Turbo Man doll. The fact that I got to design a toy line and do the commercials and make pajamas and comic books was fun for me as a filmmaker. But at its root, the movie's about something really sweet. It's about love and building a better family. I think that's consistent with everything I've done." [8]

The perfect tagline takes a lot of work. Globally recognised slogans like “Just do it” or “I’m lovin’ it” are the result of huge budgets and big brands. Instead of looking to corporations for inspiration, have a browse around ones of a similar size or industry and analyse their slogans for elements that you like or dislike. Another exercise that helps is to isolate one specific product and write mini lists of the biggest benefits, then keep reducing that down to the most important feature/message.
