David Carradine - all is forgiven... but don't come back!

This high school caliber production of God knows what is horrible. Terrible acting, insultingly bad fight scenes and torturous dialog are redeemed by the three blonde birds who jump aboard for the ride! Looking at them jiggling around the sets managed to keep my attention! Bananarama would have been very popular in sword and sorcery times!

This is good material for the nice peeps piloting the Satellite Of Love as WOTLK II isn't one of those films that is 'So bad that it's good.' It's just 'So bad!' Check out the reviews for the film sans MST3K for some good reviews about how appalling this film really is.

This is episode 11 of the new 14 episode Netflix deal and it's a good one. Not as good as WOTLK I, but it's a worthy addition to the series. It starts off a bit slow but quickly catches fire as the crew gets into a groove... so stick with this one - you won't regret it.

One thing I have noticed with this new series reboot is that the writers seem to have carefully avoided almost anything that could be construed as 'sexual innuendo'. In the original series, there were some bawdy and subtle gags for the grown- ups. This is a noticeable deficit in this latest collection of spoofed movies.

Best gag: "Message for you sir!" (Yeah, I could see it coming a mile away, but it's still a classic and bloody funny!)

The powerful the pubescent and the pantsless

Wizards of the Lost Kingdom 2, like the first one, starts with what is probably stock footage from other films. Then we're into another annoying kid gets grown up mentor as he is tasked to save the kingdom. But said annoying kid really needs a haircut, and really needs someone to teach him about girls.

The film has no tie in with the first. But its actually a little better, thanks to a possibly bigger budget as there are more performers. And they got David Carradine. Whose character is laconic and doesn't care so its unclear whether he's just doing it for the money or not. Has to be said the actress playing his wife is quite good. Within the confines of her role. And the various blonde ladies who feature are quite easy on the eye.

Not a good film, with a real bit of lazy writing at the end. But it makes for a funny watch. And a solid episode. Some great satellite sequences, and what would appear to be plot set up there as well. fun stuff. as ever.
