Lousy sci-fi, but fantastic comedy.

Rating: 7/10 (26 July 1999)

Now, you're looking at me and thinking, "What the heck is wrong with you! That movie was the stupidest thing I've ever seen!" And you're right. The plot is terrible and the sci-fi element weak as water. To confess, the first time I saw this movie, I LOATHED it. However, the trick to appreciating this flick is seeing it with the right eyes. It was marketed as a sci-fi vehicle, and that's all wrong! It's a cheese-ridden comedy of characters, and a great one!
Sit back, relax, skip the first 10 minutes, and watch it again. You will not regret it.
Fans of MST3K and Death Race 2000 should definitely appreciate this. Ruby Rod will be a cult icon some day, take my word for it.
