G-Force: Revisiting the Idol Finale's Most Stunning Segment

g-force_2mv.jpg

Last night's American Idol finale featured a deep, wide range of scene-stealers, from showstopper Norman Gentle to Katrina "Bikini Girl" Darrell's new twins. But for sheer, paralyzing drama, only one moment truly rivaled Kris Allen's Idol coronation. The footage is after the jump -- and as usual, we can thank Jerry Bruckheimer.

Clearly disgusted by the low talking-animal stakes of Beverly Hills Chihuahua, the megaproducer cajoled Disney into backing this summer's more cutting drama of G-Force. But whereas December's original trailer leaned somewhat heavily on human castmates Will Arnett, Zach Galifianakis and BIll Nighy, viewers on Wednesday finally got to know the FBI's interspecies spy squad a little better. And now our jaws are bruised from that collision with the floor.

Let's face it: Undercover houseflies and martial-arts-trained guinea pigs transcend the purpose of Movieline's Two-Minute Verdict, which is to judge the overall market appeal of trailers for upcoming films. Like Chihuahua before it, G-Force has unassailable kiddie creds that are well beyond reproach. But look closer: That guinea pig has a blowtorch. That fly is packing heat. The prospects of micro-sized weaponry alone wield far more crossover cult appeal than any deported chihuahua love interest.

And the only way you know you've reclaimed your voice after two minutes of stunned, G-Force-induced silence? You hear yourself whisper, "I am so, so going to see this." It's got a fart-tinged, high-speed gerbil-ball chase! Of course you'll see this.

VERDICT: Sold!
