The wigs

I had so much fun watching this movie with a friend, we were complaining all the time about everything, because everything is so horrible in this movie.

Everything yes, but the most horrible thing you must have guess by now, are the WIGS, they are so horrible, my friend and I have been laughing all movie long about the Jon-Bon-Jovi-of-the-80's-look of Christophe Lambert.

I must admit though that I used the Fast forward in some scenes. And at the end, when Vercingétorix is horse riding torward César, it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long. And you just can't believe it when you realize that he is not just going in a strait line, no, he has to go round the stand where César is and then, and ONLY then, he can get off his horse to kneel before the victorious chief.

If you haven't read any other postings about that movie that I would call a joke, I will say again that when I tried to watch in a theater (yes, I paid to see it), I left before the end, I was lost into boredom. But I watched it again at home, to see how much worst it could get.

Great movie, it will make me complain for years, about the fact that there is some geniuses that will never be allowed to make movies, because some people like Jacques Dorfmann are monopolizing the profession.

Demented forever!

lol, and I thought I was the only one who watched this movie just to laugh at Christoper Lamberts hair.

It really is a sight to behold.

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Christopher Lambert's wig makes his forehead unnaturally huge! He looked like an alien. Very scary!

It made him look like he has a gorilla skull.

That anyone can walk around with such a hair-do ... unbelievable! Even several 100s years back, they wouldn´t have left the hut that way ... :-)))) Classic!!

I haven't seen this movie, but I saw the review for it over at somethingawful.com and thought it was hilarious. The whole 'review' was just a series of pictures of the main character and his ridiculous hair.

And all the text except for the producers name is "wig". Funny *beep*

Yeah, I saw that at somethingawful.com too, hence my presence here. The wigs are totally bodacious and worth the price of admission alone. This is one of those movies, like Battlefield Earth and Dungeons & Dragons, that is so amazingly bad that it achieves incredible levels of greatness. A must see!

I'm going to add to your "Terribly Bad-Greatness" list - "Junior" and "Mosquito". Junior is not the one that had Arnold in it. Actually, somethingawful did a review of it not too long ago, but I saw it last year. It's HORRIBLE. I recommend it on laughing basis alone.

But yeah...Lambert and his wigs are going to become my new avatars.

You are so right! I really thought that my sister and I were the only ones that called this the Bad Wig Movie. Honestly, I thought that was Dame Judi Dench as Caesar until I saw the credits. Unintended comedic movie.
