I thought it would be cheesy, but it actually maintained a great atmosphere of suspense, thanks not only to the interesting story and wonderful cast, but also to the still spooky fully-electronic score.

A movie that, like a great artist, steals from others (The Blob, Godzilla, Forbidden Planet etc). But great art, it ain't.

Directed by Roger Corman protégé Santiago, who brought us flicks like the Filipino Blaxploitation women in prison movie The Muthers. And multiple Mad Max 2 ripoffs. (About 2 a year in the 80s and 90s?)

This one seems to have every single outdoor scene take place in the same quarry (except for the world's crappiest canyon car jump?), just shot from different angles.

Slade (Norton) builds the world's most redundant assault rifle with like 6 barrels, which automagically wipes the floor against all opponents.

If they had put one tenth of the effort into the story as they did the (pretty awesome) action, it might have been half-way decent.

The plot, the acting, the effects, the pacing... none of them were anywhere near as bad as I was expecting. They were often downright good. Is this movie... kind of great???

So bad it's hilarious, especially the musical parts.

The star/producer/writer/director also sings, and every time he did, I cracked up laughing.
