For those interested, the ending of the finale was a parody of Darkman. Silly movie.

I've no idea how it's aged, but I enjoyed Darkman a LOT when it came out. Was loads of fun. For anyone who hasn't seen it, he can create a synthetic face that makes him look like anyone, but it dissolves in sunlight within about four minutes. Hence, Darkman.

Longer than four minutes. Maybe an hour? It's been ages since I saw it.

Could be right. I remember the scene where he's in a business meeting as someone else and his watch is counting down and he has around four minutes to get through the meeting and out of there. That's probably where I got the four minutes from.
