I kinda always assumed it was. FFS, Doogie Howser was the brains behind their outfit. And the heavy was
literally a giant rubber brain.
That always seemed like an intentional spoof of sorts. A high-concept, self-aware B movie.
You could tell because the good actors were chewing on scenery (Ironsides was just friggen great) while the absolutely awful ones were just...being awful. They were completely immersed and just weren't in on the joke. Van Dien and Richards were just spectacularly awful but anyone with actual acting chops knew how to play it intentionally over the top.
I think you're allowed to laugh there - I think it was intentional satire and cheese.
