Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Jon Gillett Too many people watch films expecting EVERY SINGLE ONE to be Oscar worthy! In fact statistically you will find that most cannot hope to deliver a product at that level! This is one of those films, shall we call them "Friday Night Films". I usually have a gathering of friends round mine on Friday nights (too old to go out on the town nowadays), where we line up 2-3 titles to pass the time. Some weeks are "serious", some not. Last week we watched 12 years a slave, Argo & Munich, the week before it was this, Troll 2 & Hell comes to frogtown...catch my drift? The Lost Empire is a campy, exploitation piece of cinema with copious amounts of nudity, some hopeless "fight" scenes that have to be seen to be believed (especially the wooden shuriken to the back of the head scene), a craptastic villain complete with henchmen and little/no story. The women all look good, especially the 3 leads, but the extras aren't too shabby either! The story requires little/no attention to be paid to the screen throughout, which is exactly what crap film nights are all about, as more time is spent laughing and chatting than watching.If you're a fan of trash cinema like Death Wish 3, Street Trash, Tromaville films, etc then you really can't go far wrong with this! Enjoy.

punishmentpark Hot '80s chicks galore (though Raven is a bit beyond my taste, except for her bosom of course), and a lot of funny stuff going on, especially in the effects (robotspider for instance) and some very, very cheesy one-liners. There's a few fun and silly action scenes plus a fair amount of cleavage and even more here and there (1 prison catfight included!). Even some of the settings / backdrops were okay to look at. The acting... well, let's not call it that and just think of the ladies. This is just the kind of stuff I want to see when I'm really not up for paying attention to an actual good movie, too late at night.Now, for the rating; dare I give it 6 out of 10, because I simply had a fun time with it? Well, 5 should be enough.

danldhatu This film makes for one half of a great double bill with Russ Meyer's UP! Both are notable for featuring the 70s-80s lovely-busty brunette, Raven De La Croix. Miss De La Croix should have been a major star of lowbrow cinema. She could have played an ongoing series action-adventure heroine who comes to the rescue, bashes the baddies and comes out on top while being stripped of all her clothing in the process. She really gets better the less she has on, which means that she's PERFECT (and perfectly nude) at the end of UP!She was quite good as an undercover cop in UP! This wasn't the best of Russ Meyer's movies, but it's worth watching for Raven.Hers was a lost opportunity, but these two films are available on video.

BloodTheTelepathicDog Mr. Wynorski knows how to make cheese, but unlike other cheese distributors, he knows how to make it entertaining.Lost Empire follows a rogue styled police officer, well played by sexy Melanie Vincz, who searches for the killer of her cop brother. Teaming up with Melanie are mystic native Raven de la Croix, and badgirl rough-houser Angela Aames.The buxom trio fly to an island camp run by the villainous Angus Scrimm. There they fight against the terrorists and get naked at every possible opportunity. I admire Jim for his ability to get women naked in all of his films. And seeing both Angela Aames and Raven de la Croix nude, is a splendor to behold.
