For those of you who have actually seen it....


Is it really the worst movie in the history of cinema? Does it have no redeeming value? Or have you never actually watched it before?

It's funny. There are bad movies that are campy and know they're bad, bad movies that are just boring and mind-numbing, but this one is the best - a bad movie that is ridiculous in how bad it is. It has all the terrible childish ball-punching humor of a 3 Ninjas movie with terrible effects, horrible acting and worse fighting.
But its biggest flaw is how it's just an incomprehensible mess. Apparently, the editors and other crew got switched around a ton (I think one of the editors actually posted here on IMDB about it). When you watch it, it just seems like its suddenly a different movie every 20 or 30 minutes. Nothing is ever explained. It seems like it's about to about to tell a story, then it just turns into wacky, irrelevant, low-budget hijinx. So, it's pretty awesome.

I have seen it, on YouTube. I don't know if it's the worst movie ever, but it's horrid, and not in a way that's entertaining or fun to laugh at. I wanted to punch out this movie's makers while I was watching it.

Apparently the production of this movie was a complete disaster and they replaced the director more than once, and they just barely managed to cobble the movie together from the footage that was shot. Believe me, it shows. The story is completely incoherent.

This is the nastiest piece of poop I have ever seen. My god.
There are some gems on the IMDB bottom 100 (Troll 2, Fat Slags, Kazaam) which are usually 'so bad it's good'. But this monstrosity is inept in ever way possible. It's even worse than Hobgoblins!

And that Sondi actress... my god. She was horrific!!
