They just don't make em like Oblivion anymore. This movie is so bad that it's good. It's like watching a movie that was supposed to be serious but halfway through they decided it should be a comedy. There are some really great lines in here that should not be missed. "Not man enough? or maybe you're too much man, too much... HU-man?" or the s**t a brick in your pants funny "associ-whats?" line. Or the bingo during the funeral "B9!" Oh man, I'm cracking up right now writing this. And of course the best part is that it ends with "to be continued" and a hilarious preview of the sequel. Anyways, if you want to see a really unintentionally funny movie with microphones and ads for other movies blatantly in several shots then see this now, i concur with the beer suggestion of these other guys too. Oblivion, really great movie, watch it.

The special effects of this movie are, especially for its time, laughable and used in such an over-emphasized way that you can't deny their terrible existance.The acting redefines the term "terrible overacting" at the hands of Meg Foster and Richard Joseph Paul, where julie Newman and Andrew Divoff just redefine "bad".***spoilers***The charm in this movie can be found in two things: First is the excellent casting of Carel "Lurch" Struycken as the mysterious psychic Gaunt, who can sense where and when people will die and is always there.The second are original finds, the combination SF-Western is obviously original, if terrible, but other finds are more original, like the gunman Zack Stone being able to sense the pain of the people he shoots (though his acting falls short here).Overal...don't see this movie, except if you love that ol' hunk-o-brutal Carel Struycken, as any self-respecting Dutchman should.

What do you expect? After all, these are the people that brought you Jack Deth and the Trancers movies! It's an occasionally slow-paced sci-fi western parody. The acting is mostly dreadful, and the plot is telegraphed a mile away, but if you didn't expect that from the Full Moon folks, you deserve what you get. A movie best experienced with friends and vast quantities of intoxicants. Those of us who read comics in the 70s will get the "Man-Thing" reference, and it is a hoot to see George Takei telling a bottle of whiskey, "Jim Beam me up!" Meg Foster is totally wasted as a cyborg deputy, but she does what she can with a terrible role. I loved Musetta Vander as the S&M fantasy gal Lash. A good bad movie in spite of occasional slow bits and obvious plotting. MST3K material for sure.

This movie's plot line turns itself around in so many circles it ends up making no sense. There is not enough action to keep you watching and most of it is just too fake. The writers of this film didn't even have a good idea.
