Supposedly based on the same popular sci-fi novel by H. Rider Haggard which was made into a film in 1935 and 1965 (the latter starring Ursula Andress), but, according to those in the know, it has nothing to do with it (despite claiming otherwise). This is a batcrap crazy post-apocalyptic sci-fi starring Sandahl Bergman (Conan the Barbarian, Red Sonja, Hell Comes to Frogtown). I frequently joked during the movie that there was absolutely no plan as to where this movie was going. They were just making it up as they were going on. The actors would raid the costume and props departments and just come back with whatever weird stuff they could find. There's no other way to explain a giant, bearded man wearing a tutu and a gas mask. The (rather confusing) plot begins with two men (David Goss and Harrison Muller, Jr.) losing their sister to a group of crazy-looking men. They hear that the local goddess She (Bergman) knows where they're taking her, so they considerately kidnap her and make her lead them to their sister. Apparently each small settlement has their own god or goddess, a few of which we'll meet along the way. Accompanied by one of She's chief warriors (Quin Kessler), they make their way across the post-apocalyptic landscape and run into all sorts of zany tribes. One has a god named Godan who has telekinetic powers. The most memorable sequence in the film has an annoying Robin Williams impersonator named Xenon (David Traylor, who is a stand-up comedian who goes by the stage name David Zed) who, when you cut him into pieces, starfish-like, regenerates into multiple Xenons. Don't get me wrong, this movie is pretty terrible. But it plays out like a drug trip, and you'll definitely remember it. I'm really surprised I hadn't heard of it beforehand.

The movie was not written for a mainstream audience, that should be obvious from the names of the primary male characters (What mainstream film would dare use Tom and Dick as names for major male charcters and then name a female character Hari?) The villans that the film's heroes encounter are also covered in humor factor (A large man should not wear a tutu... EVER... But the writers decided it would work for this film, and it did work.) Even the lines are blatantly aiming to make the audience laugh without trying (Who wouldn't laugh at: "Careful of my arms; they tend to fall off?" Especially when the man saying this line had the heroes cornered?)In spite of the humor though, the witers managed to slip in a love story, a decent adventure adventure story, and some very creative characters... This is great Post-Apocalyptic Fantasy/Humor film... I want to see more movies made like this...

Warning: Plot spoilers ahead!!I feel I can only properly review this movie by describing the plot.OK, first these guys with swords fight some Nazis dressed like football players, a boxer, and a guy in a tuxedo. Then this chick fights some knights (who appear out of boxes) and a frankenstein monster whose head explodes! Then the two guys and a chick are captured by some dudes wrapped like mummies (who wear sunglasses and carry chainsaws). Everybody escapes and they all end up at a pool party hosted by werewolves (I wish I was joking). They fight some Russian guy with telekenesis. They fight a guy in a ballerina dress and a gasmask. Finally they fight this guy who's a cross between Robin Williams and the Black Knight from Monty Python's Holy Grail. In the end, we get to see the names of all the people who were brave or stupid enough to take responsibility for all of this. Motorhead contributed to the soundtrack.Well that's the plot, I hope I didn't ruin it for you!By the way, this movie is TERRIBLE.
