Wow. SOOO BAD that I enjoyed it! Perhaps the worst movie of all time.


If you like poorly scripted, badly acted, post apocolyptic actions movies, then this hunk of crap is for you! It's all there! The horrendous writing, the shamefull acting, the love interest with the bad dye job and perfectly crimped 80's hair and Patrick Swayze with an amazing mullet worthy of Stryper!

Bad movie legend Brion James even shows up! Lots of dirt, torn up clothing, Mad Max style shante town, it really does have it all. For some reason you keep waiting for Bruce Campbell to do a walk on.

If you are a fan of really bad B movies. You will get a real kick out of this flick.

Watch Lunch Meat and Axem then come back and say this is the worst out there. Those movies alone will make you want to take a hammer to your head.

My god, this was so bad,it doesn't even qualify as a "B" movie. Kinda fun, in a kitschy, bad 80's hair sorta way.

i just watched it on hulu.com and it isn't that bad. If you want to see bad,
try watching Robot Holocaust www.imdb.com/title/tt0093872/ or Hardware www.imdb.com/title/tt0099740/

hardware rocks!

It's clearly a low budget and mediocre film, but the sword fights are fun and well choreographed and the bad guy is pretty memorable. I also liked the final fight.

This film is a guilty pleasure.

reply

You clearly have not seen movies like Blood Shack to make a statement that this might be the worst movie ever made. And frankly, I found a lot to enjoy in this little cliche movie. Yeah, every character is from either a western, apocalyptic, or samurai film, but that's what makes it fun to watch. Clearly the film is not the worst out there.



I'm just a guy that likes horror flicks.

If you think that this was the worst movie of all time, you ought to get out more. Without even searching hard through my personal databank, I have just 3 words: "Starship Troopers III".

reply

Any of Tyler Perry movies would be worse than this.

For sure. Good beginning w/ all the sword play in desert setting. Loved how he looks around at end of fight & makes that last move. Did keep expecting him to off the last critter guy still crawling around dragging a buddy. Maybe 'hero' a man of honor, lol. Definite 5-6/10 mini-mini classic of sorts.
