Trailer
Full movie
(Warning: there's a licensed copy available on YouTube, 1hr 19min, but it screws up the ending, cutting most of it. It was only after running into that problem that I finally remembered it was on Fawesome, complete at 1hr 25min.)
I'm pretty sure I saw this in the 90s. I remembered it a lot more "exploitationy" but seeing it now it was more like a fairly competent TV movie. Maybe the sequels are trashier and I'm confusing the original with the sequels. (For example, I could have sworn I remember seeing Robert Z'Dar in Hell Comes to Frogtown, but it turns out he's only in Return to Frogtown which I didn't even realize existed.)
Sailing the high seas was the only way I could find this. I have been wanting to try sharing, say, a folder in my Emby library outside my home network, to see if I can get it to work.
With or without ads?
On Fawesome, I haven't seen any ads yet. On the Roku Channel, maybe 2 or 3 short ad breaks per hour.
I watched it on Tubi... currently ad-free with uBlock Origin adblocker (on Firefox, at least...)
I don't know where you are, but in Mexico at least it's available, for free, on Fawesome and the Roku Channel, too.
