Cassandra Peterson, the future "Elvira," doesn't get to do much in this film, but she looks absolutely terrific!

Yes she do... and she had a nice and deserved demise:-)

The future "Elvira"? Hahaha. Wow, I guess you didn't realize she had been playing Elvira at least 15 years before this film came out? She does look fantastic though.

But what under-use of her! Cassandra is not only great with curves, but also with lines!

I would have axed that high-priest, and give his whole role to Cassandra. What did they need him for, when they had Cassandra on the bad guys' side?

Lexa is cute!

Absolutely! In that golden, corset-like bodice, Cassandra would have been the ideal Queen of the Lost City. She could have spoken great lines, given the chance.

At best, that high priest should have been relegated to serving at her side, and at her bidding. Inexcusable mismanagement of the key baddies.

I was convinced that she was going to be the main baddie (and hoping against all hope that she would get naked), but for reasons unknown they decided to put the Gene Simmons-looking priest front and center. Oh well, at least he didn't get naked.

The impression from that first scene was that she would be in a good vs evil rivalry with the blonde. Equally disappointing is that she was mute!

[–] hrd171 9 years ago

You're right mute - without her outstanding moans if she falls to her deserved death;-)

I don't think Cassandra even has a line, but she's one of the few reasons to watch this disappointing sequel to the well done 1985 'B' film.

I didn't like that they made the dark-haired woman the villain, and the two blonde women were the 'goodies'.

You'd think that after the fucking Nazis, Hollywood would wise the fuck up, and make the *Aryans* the villains (as they were in REAL LIFE!) 😠 But, no, it's always us dark types who are demonised, DESPITE everything the fucking Aryan NAZIS did to us.

Fuck blonde, blue-eyed, peaches-and-cream privilege, and the people, even the *faux*-Jews, who'd have been spared the Nazis' evil, on account of the protection their fair looks guaranteed them.
