Everything made no sense. Why was Donald Pleasence a robot? It never said. Why did the subsonic speedcycle have to repeat everything three times? Why were the fight scenes half of the films running time? Why was the Professor Caucasian and his daughter Indian? Why did guns just not work for the omegaNazi's's?Questions that will keep me awake tonight.If you took mad max, the exact character of Dr No from You Only Live Twice, Kitt from Knight rider as an annoying Japanese motorbike and put them all in a blender you get something like the plot of this film. This was a tough watch, tread carefully.

I pride myself in my knowledge and appreciation of bad films. Back in the late 1970s, Harry Medved wrote an amazingly funny and brilliant book called "The 50 Worst Movies of All Time" and it kicked off the craze to see and appreciate bad films. I actually found and watched all fifty of the films from the book and then went in search for more awful films and decided to try watching IMDb's infamous Bottom 100 list. Not all of them are available and several have no subtitles or dubbing, so I cannot possibly see them all. However, I've seen a huge number of them and have noticed an annoying trend--nearly all the American films on the list were skewered on "Mystery Science Theater 3000" and MANY really bad films were never on this show--mostly because they couldn't get the royalties for all the films. Plus, other bad films have come out since the show ended. As a result, many absolutely horrid films NEVER appear on the list even though they are much worse than those featured on "MST 3000"...such as "Plan 9 From Outer Space", "They Saved Hitler's Brain", "Robot Monster", "The Room" and ALL of the films of Larry Buchanan, William Grefe and Ted Mikels! Clearly this list is NOT even close to being the 100 worst films...just the lowest rated and apparently the TV show's fans vote!I say all this because although "Warrior of the Lost World" is a terrible film, I've seen hundreds of films that are worse. But it is bad...really bad. Part of it is because they somehow decided to use Robert Ginty in the lead. I am sure he was a nice guy but he wasn't leading man material and his biggest claims to fame had been supporting parts on the TV shows "Black Sheep Squadron" and "The Paper Chase". Also on hand are Donald Pleasance (who would appear in ANYTHING provided it paid) and Fred Williamson (ditto). As for the film itself, it really looks like it was done with almost no script--just a broad outline and lots of guys running around firing the weirdest sounding machine guns I've ever heard in a movie. And, our hero and his babe escaping again and again from some ill-defined enemy.The bottom line is that YES this is a bad film with an excruciatingly low budget and little to recommend it. But it's not THAT bad...at least not Bottom 100 bad.

Elegantly, wonderfully, deliciously bad. The only way to truly appreciate this cinematic train wreck is to watch the MST3K version (less than a minute into the opening credits, Tom Servo asks, "Is it too late to kill myself?") Robert Ginty mumbles and grumbles his "dialog", Donald Pleasance reprises his many roles as the androgenous bad-ass, and a supporting cast of extras resembling Jimmy Carter, Saddam, Bluto, and Mimi keep things moving. One of the many films that makes an inexact science of ballistics -- no one with a gun can manage to even nick another character with a shot, even at point-blank range. Worth seeing, if only to watch in sadistic delight as "Megaweapon" runs over Einstein, the squeaky-voiced, talking motorcycle.

When i bought this movie's DVD, I didn't know it was from Italy. After I saw that all the vehicles used throughout are Italian, I learned it. Though it does not respect the initial promises - the landscapes and overall atmosphere are pretty good and live to be post-apocalyptic - it has it very high points: some good fighting scenes, a great soundtrack, very nice sound effects (though not used very well, like in the firing guns) and nice landscapes. And Donald Pleasence makes a great acting job as the Omega leader. Not to mention this movie's platinum items: the speaking hit tech motorbike (i didn't listen to the English voice, but its Italian version is really bad) with its onboard computer. And obviously the great, awesome Megaweapon!!!!Though this movie is not an epic masterpiece, it has its good points and therefore demands to be watched, since it still remains a very nice Italian Sci-Fi movie. Get it :)
