Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
stargzer I like reading SciFi and Fantasy, but I've neither read nor heard of the Gor novels. I saw the summary on the Comet TV listing on cable and figured I'd record "Gor" and "Outlaw of Gor" for later viewing. I was never expecting a classic film like "The Best Years of Our Lives" (one of my favorites) or a classic fantasy saga like "The Deed of Paksenarrion," just a generic Hack-And-Slash time filler, and that's what I got.A lot of both Gor movies reminded me a bit of the Edgar Rice Burroughs "Barsoom" novels I read in my youth--deserts, fights, hero transplanted from another world. Cabot's friend Prof. Watney Smith, an annoying schmendrick if there ever was one, reminded me of the incompetent sidekick Trent in the old "Leather Goddesses of Phobos RPG, which was released three years before this film; I guess this film compares a bit to the "lewd" mode of LGOP. He's not as treacherous as Dr. Smith in "Lost in Space," but you still want to slap him silly. I did, however, like the midget comic sidekick character Hup.Fight scenes? Check. Skimpy costumes, including some string bikini tops designed to look topless in a long shot? Check. Sleazy sidekick you really want to slap silly? Check. Comical "short person" sidekick who sometimes finds a way out of trouble? Check. A true actor stuck in a film just to maintain his union membership so he retains health insurance and retirement benefits? Check. A couple of plot twists about who takes out the villains at the end? Check.Three stars, something to pass the time; don't go in expecting any more that a time filler.
tmdarby Terrible movie, great MST3K episode. The movie, bad in just about every aspect. The acting, writing, and special effects are on par with a high school play. If you think that the presence of Jack Palance can save this movie, think again. He actually makes the movie worse by just being a good actor. He makes it glaringly obvious that the rest of the cast is horrible. Oh and the costumes, my god the costumes. For a fun game while watching, drink every time they say Cabot. You'll be drunk within the first 15 min of the film, and that's bound to make it more interesting.
nikkk-1 The only reason I actually sat through this entire movie is because I happened to be an extra in it and was curious to see myself on the big screen. They shot some of the scenes in South Africa, in and around an old mine dump just outside my home town (Benoni). As poor students, my buddy and I thought it would be a fun way to make extra money being extras in movies during vacations, and it kinda was. We made a load of spare cash too, since the movie makers were exploiting the currency exchange rate at the time and paid pretty well (for us at the time anyway).Anyway, the movie was laughable, and even during filming I could tell that it was going to be. If you ever happen to see this movie, there is a fight scene where the hero kills his attacker with a big (wooden) sword by clearly stabbing the ground next to his chest. Do I need to say more?
InzyWimzy Ah, Gor. I really used to think Cave Dwellers was pretty crappy, but Outlaw of Gor makes me wish Ator could skewer Cabot while Thong pummels Watney Smith into submission. Having seen Outlaw several times, I must admit, it does tend to get better and you catch even more hilarity. The strange thing is that the humor is so unintentional since the actors really play their roles so seriously! Also, add to the fact that Outlaw is preceded by Gor which makes following the plot (what plot??) a difficult task indeed.Jack Palance really looks annoyed in almost every scene he's in. Maybe it's those really goofy hats he wears and his facial expression which says "I have more talent in my pinky fingernail than all these scum actors combined." Urbano is less than mediocre as Cabot, but is less painful to watch than Russel Savadier's portrayal of sex starved Watney. Try not to regurgitate during his massages (EWW!). The barely clad nymphs in the film add a little (and I do stress little) enjoyment to the film especially the terrific acting of Donna Denton whose "Get out of here, you disgusting worm!" speech may be the highlight of the entire movie. That or any scene with Nigel "Kermit" Chipps.There must've have been so many Seymour Butts jokes during the making of this film.
