If you are looking for a film that needed some help from MST3000, then this is definitely one. I am not sure if this is a true Star Wars clone or clone of an extremely bad episode of Star Trek. (and I do mean extremely bad).



For starters, the English dubbing is way off and the story plot is extremely weak. The special effects are horrible. The use of public Domain footage resembles some of the worst Community Videos found on this site. And the fight scenes (well), the fight scenes in my original film (The Great Dope Hunt) had more action (and that is not saying much).



The robots here makes you wonder if Twiki (from Buck Rogers) mated with a Teletubby. Yes they are that bad. Even funnier is that they are romantically linked, and run on throw away battery power. I know all robots require power, but must do not require 9 Volt batteries except in the controllers and then only if they are remote controlled. There is even one robot in this show that takes the comparison of R2D2 to a garbage can very seriously. It looks like someone took a steel barrel and added a Salad Calendar to it for a head.



Now for the weapons. They resemble something you could find in any toy store as a Star Wars -- Master of the Universe Knockoff or something you might find today at a Dollar General or Family Dollar store. The Swords are bulky and have that all too familiar glow in the dark paint. The guns remind you of the type that shot sparks and made a motor running sound when fired.



If there was an award for horrible film, this one must have won in all categories for that year.



But because the film is so bad it is funny I will give it 3 stars just for the laughs. This is one film not to take too seriously.



Notes:



Notice a bad section of the film where it appears to freeze. Happens during first 30 minutes of film before Prison breakout. Might want to fix this if you decide to place it on DVD like I usually do.



Also you can download "The Great Dope Hunt" on this site.
