On paper, the amphibious hovercraft sounds like it was made up by a boat-obsessed child. It hovers, with the help of an air cushion, capable of jetting up to 95mph and, in one case, transporting three tanks. It can travel on sea, ice, and earth. Look at this bad boy. Its soundtrack is a ‘90s electric guitar riff. James Bond can ride it through a minefield. And now it’s getting ridiculous:

A bit much.
