BEAN 1997

Copyright 1997 Timothy Voon

Bean fans, he's here! Billed as the 'Ultimate Disaster Movie', when in truth this is the 'Pen-Ultimate Disaster Movie.' Move over Twister, Volcano and up-coming Titanic, make-way for Bean - the man who can generate laughs with the cataclysmic propensity of Hiroshima.
Yes, it was funny. Watch out U.S.A. here comes the infestation known as Bean. He's ugly and mean, pays little respect to customs, or hygiene. Beware this lean, mean, fighting machine known as Bean, coming your way October.
Watch the Bean reduce a 50 million painting of ‘The Whistler’s Mother’ into a caricature of 'Hagar', and hear his insightful thoughts on the painting after. He makes Tom Cruise look like an amateur, when it comes to a 'Mission Impossible' break-in, with only the use of a skate board, laxatives, eggs and underwear. Witness the life-saving techniques of Bean as he removes bullets from downed cops, and the 'Bean-Defibrillator Method' of arousing coma victims; and at the end of the day watch him warm the hearts of his audience, as he brings a broken family together again.
Comment: Bean is his name. Disaster is his game. Hear him roar!
