This has to be the worst waste of time, money, effort, and film-stock ever, and I deeply regret that 1) I actually looked forward to seeing this piece-o-crap for almost 30 YEARS, and 2) that I wasted 90 precious minutes of my life watching it!

Watch it for what it is, a PARODY of a not so great in the first place, serial.
I bet you thought "Napoleon Dynamite" was a classic. Now that movie not only sucked, it swallowed.
Skipped it - too many 'teen-tards like you in the theater... btw, just how much did you swallow while watching ND?

I sentence you to trial by ordeal!
shareIt could have been worse, you know.
You could be regretting having endured 90 minutes of anticipation and 30 years of wasted time.
"that I wasted 90 precious minutes of my life watching it!"
If you were so worried about your precious time, then why would you spend 90 minutes watching a movie you don't like? It's funny how the people that make the complaints- "There's [Length of film here] of my life I'll never get back.", when you could simply stop watching the movie after about 10 minutes(or sooner), at least that's how long it takes me to realize I don't like a movie.
Then again I wonder why the people who are counting the precious minutes of their lives are watching any movies in the first place.
I just don't get off on funerals, man, they give me the creeps.share
Nicely said.
share smerd_70,
You find it funny that some people will sit through a 90-minute movie and then complain about it afterwards.
What's actually even *more* ridiculous is people -- like yourself -- who'll pass a judgment on an entire 90-minute film after seeing only ten minutes of it. In the dictionary next to the word "ignorance", it must say to see you.
You got me, you're totally right, I'm ignorant...I'm going to rush out right now and re-rent/re-watch all the films that I didn't want to spend more than 10 minutes on(even though 10 minutes was enough for me to know I didn't like the films):
Batman and Robin, House of the Dead, Axe 'em, Gnomes, Dark Harvest 2: The Maize, Green River Killer, Zombie Nation, Beast of the Yellow Night, Mr Jingles, BTK Killer, Don't Be Scared, Zombiez, Dr. Alien, Ankle Biters, The Brainsucker, Tales from the Crapper, Vampires vs. Zombies, Lords of the Deep, Day of the Dead 2: Contagium, Blood of Ghastly Horror, The Mangler 2, Breeders, Ghost Lake, Killjoy, Death Dimension, Mulva: Zombie Ass Kicker!, S.I.C.K., Robot Ninja, Starship Troopers 2, Vampiyaz, Alien Dead, Glitch!, The Meateater, Octaman, Alienator, Deathsport, Frankenstein Island, Mac and Me, Frogtown II, Munchies, R.O.T.O.R., Slapstick of Another Kind, Cathy's Curse, Terror Within II, Watchers II.....
Once I've sat through the entirety of these films I will know that I can say I don't like them, and no longer be ignorant. Then I will have to get a hold of all the dictionary makers and tell them they can remove me from them.

On the other hand, there just MAY be something to your original attitude.
After all, less than ten minutes of communicating with you here has told me that you are somebody I don't want to know at all.
Obviously I'm crushed by the news that some anonymous person on a message board doesn't want to know me.

smerd_70,
Hello. It's me again -- Mr. Anonymous Person. i would have responded sooner, but I had completely forgotten about this discussion, until now, that is, when I just happened to be in the neighborhood again.
You know -- there's a form of life so low, so utterly worthless it ranks in value somewhere beneath pond scum. It is called the critic. *You* have shown definite potential that maybe someday, if you're lucky, *you* just may be good enough to be one of those pieces of human garbage. Good luck with that.
No, wait! On second thought, I'm afraid you can't. Critics are expected to watch the *whole* movie, not just ten minutes of it. Sorry.
Could you please show me where I've written any negative reviews on movies I've only watched 10 minutes of? Or any negative reviews at all. Otherwise I'm not really understanding your whole critic comment.
Yes, there are many movies I've only spent 10 minutes watching before I realized the movie isn't going to get better so I turn it off. When I started watching The Brainsucker, and 10 minutes or so into the film you can hear the director's voice, honestly, I don't really need to watch the rest of the film to know I won't like it...But nowhere have I written a negative review on it, I just don't like the film, simple as that...Or when I'm watching a film that is so low-budget that it's obvious they are using the microphone on the camera so you can't hear half the dialogue- am I supposed to assume that this is suddenly fixed 10 to 15 minutes later? Or when I'm watching a movie where the characters mutter through their dialogue(again you can't hear what they are saying), and all the scenes shot in the dark are so dark you can't tell what is happening, I really need to spend another hour and some minutes on the film? Or I put in a movie like Dark Harvest 2(aka The Maize: The Movie), about a guy walking around a cornfield, and 15 minutes later, the guy is still walking around the cornfield. Now, I assumed that this was pretty much going to happen for another 85 minutes, and I come on to the IMdB, and yep, I'm correct from all the comments, that indeed the movie is just that- a 100 minute movie about a guy walking around a cornfield.
Then there are the movies like Hellgate, Night of Horror, and Back Woods, and I did watch the entire films... and guess what? None of them improved after the first 10 minutes...I could have turned off each movie 10 minutes in and know that I didn't miss anything....

I actually looked forward to seeing this piece-o-crap for almost 30 YEARS, and 2) that I wasted 90 precious minutes of my life watching it!

C'mon...be honest...you thought there would be a lot more hard core porn in it, didn't ya!

You hit the nail in the head. The original post is clearly the frustration of a sci-fi fanboy who was expecting a great wank and it didn't happen.
I wasn't looking for "hard core" as such, since that really wasn't the style of the early 70's - compare "Deep Throat" to the triple-penetration-15-man-1-woman-gonzo-bukkake endurance-test freak shows of the recent past (none of which I watch, btw). I was hoping for something like "Thundercrack!" or maybe a cross between "Rocky Horror Picture Show" & "Behind the Green Door".

Dude, you wrote a big long list of movies that you'd only seen 10 minutes of, and said they were crap. Just a post before this one. Did you forget?
shareIf you say, "I turned if off after 10 minutes", but then people say, "but you didn't give it a fair chance" or that you can't comment on something you haven't seen. It's better to watch it all the way through and be sure you hate something, than give up.
sharedude it was hilarious!

I watched it 30 years ago in the theatre......should have asked me, I would have told you then!

It was OK(not good, but ok) in 1974 but I'll bet if seen now would really be awful.
shareWell, I saw it today and found it awfully entertaining. The set design, stop-motion and production numbers are bizarre and fascinating. I can defend this as a good or important film, but it fires on all cylinders as an amusing one.
shareI can be entertained by a grade Z movie, but I thought this was a crashing bore. There's no wit, no effective satire, just a porn film with a few space film props minus the hard core action. I feel like I wasted my time.
shareFlesh Gordon may not hold up too well these days against the Avatars of the world, but when I saw this as a teenager who had to sneak into a movie theater to see it, it really was something quite special. I remember the audience howling with laughter through most of it, and I recall having a woodie for about a week afterwards.
