Delete to save a revdel (I removed the one-line plot as copying https://books.google.com.au/books?id=8tvGBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA81), and Redirect to Joe Estevez. No evidence of critical coverage found (though surely there must be something in Fangoria?). The only point of minor interest appears to be that this contains a cameo by Donald Trump. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 08:30, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Something just feels off about this. I can't find any true evidence that anything other than a trailer was released. The website for the film itself is fairly lacking as well - it just has the trailer... and that's it. Other than what's listed in the trailer, there's no confirmation about the cast other than the IMDb page and let's face it - IMDb is insanely easy to fake. Warren Chaney is probably the best example of how IMDb can be gamed - even mainstream films aren't immune, as there was a case of a person adding herself to the cast of Captain America: Winter Soldier as She-Hulk without any proof that the casting was legit. We have no way of knowing exactly how most of the people appeared in the film, as some could be footage re-used from a TV show. To be honest, if not for this, along with the website and trailer, I'd probably assume that this was a hoax put on by the students who were making the 2006 movie. I think that at most this is a film that Estevez made or started working on that never saw the light of day for whatever reason. (It's a shame, it seems like it'd be prime Rifftrax material.) It's decidedly non-notable and there doesn't need to be more other than a mention of this in a list of his stuff since nothing other this being a movie he was working on at some point in time can be verified in any reasonable fashion.

Also of note is that of the sourcing in the article, the first is a MySpace article that looks to have vanished due to the site revamping itself, a self-published blog that states that this is a web series that was filmed in episode format that has only limited information about the series, and a Fluge page that comes up as a dead link to me. If the movie was mentioned on the Today show, there should be more video out there of it, right? ReaderofthePack (｡◕‿◕｡) 17:53, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
