Heat Vision and Jack (1999)
Directed by Ben Stiller
As the result of a NASA miscalculation, Astronaut Jack Austin flew too close to the sun, the rays expanding his mind and making him the smartest man on the planet. Now he and his talking motorcycle (who contains the mind of his former roommate) are on the run from NASA and their assassin, actor Ron Silver who want to take his brain. They travel from place to place solving paranormal mysteries with the help of Jack's newfound ability to become a super genius when his brain absorbs sunlight.

What critics compared Heat Vision and Jack to
Bad timing aside, the story by Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab (plus Pamela Pettler) â the writing team behind the cult Jack Black/Owen Wilson pilot Heat Vision and Jack â is a wispy thing that, surprisingly, given its Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis producerial pedigree fails to adequately evoke the sheer kidhood magic of the Halloween season.
"Monster House," on the other hand, is full of welcome creepiness due to the terrific script by Dan Harmon & Rob Schrab (of the never aired cult television show "Heat Vision and Jack") and Pamela Pettler ("Corpse Bride"), great imagery and the dynamite voice work by its uniquely assembled cast.
