My uncle lent me this for Zakir Hussain's tabla playing, but Steve Smith's jungle percussion is pretty great too. Outside of the drumming it seems pretty generic but certainly enjoyable.
I've been spending a lot less time watching movies and a lot more time watching Star Trek lately, so I figured this might be a good way to ease back in. The main thing I remembered about it from seeing it as a kid is how much the pacing bothered me. That wasn't as much of a problem now but goddamn, I don't think this kind of writing would make it into a major release these days. Tempted to say it's more dated than either of the shows it spoofs but at least in the case of TOS that's probably disingenuous.
