nick s @Nick_S Jan 15, 2026 I suspect the screenwriter was paid in matchbox cars and starwars figurines. It really was beyond terrible. World building was embarrassing. The leads were passable actors but that was the only redeeming quality. See more Mar 25, 2020 This film checks a lot of boxes for a typical 80s low budget Fantasy/Adventure/Action/Sci-Fi film. It has a "will they or won't they" romance with the lead characters, the heroine was kidnapped at least once, an archer sidekick that's also an effeminate monotone elf, a comic relief dwarf played by Peter O'Farrell, a slow-witted giant that's just a tall actor, a villain that wants to rule the world/universe and a budget that's one tenth of what the script calls for. The only reason to watch this movie would be to make fun it and from that standpoint, it's a success. See more William R. P @Ogn_Dulk Nov 10, 2018 why are they driving cars with right side steering wheels meant to drive on left side of roads? filmed in n.z., australia? the voices seemed dubbed. just about the lowest production values possible.

Overall campy with a decent cast and dumb humor, which to me, makes the film entertaining. Plot isn't too original, and the characters stink, and there are some pretty crazy moments. See more Mar 16, 2013 Prisoners of the Lost Universe is another one of those bad movies that's just as bad as you've heard it to be. Sure there are plenty of laugh out loud moments, but overall, it's a pretty boring affair. I think I fell asleep on it a couple of times while watching it, which isn't a good thing. It does have some redeeming quality to it. First of all, it has John Saxon as the comically-evil villain, who's out to sleep with every woman he comes into contact with. It also has some questionable score and sound effects choices in it, the latter of which would have been more befitting for a Looney Tunes short. If you want to watch this for enjoyment puproses, then I recommend seeing the Rifftrax version which is much better than just the film alone. See more Read all reviews
