Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Neil Welch There is a rebel uprising kind of thing on sword and sandal slave planet Gor.Stuff a synopsis, this "European with token American" nonsense doesn't merit it. It has come in for a fair amount of criticism and, for the most part, it deserves it.Yet it has some production value - there are many extras, there are costumes over which some care has been taken (they still look naff, though), there is some decent gymnastic skill showed in some of the fight sequences, and much of the scenery is attractive. So what if the script is ropey and the cast can't act? I have seen worse. But don't get the impression that means that this is good - it isn't.

MisterCentury My theory: The producers of this film first made the movie "Gor". It only took them four days. Then someone noticed that they still had three days left on their equipment rentals, so they decided to film a second movie. Someone put together a script while on a potty break. They used the same sets, the same props, and much the same cast. The end result was "Outlaw of Gor".Jack Palance must have been hard-up for money to do this. It ranks up there with the biggest wastes of talent in movie history, right next to Max von Sydow in "Strange Brew" and Sir Lawrence Olivier in "Clash of the Titans".

laferrythomas Wow, is this flick ever a heaping mound of elephant dung. The terrible skimpy metallic costumes and lame dance routines done by the few women "acting" in this film can't have been made in 1989... who was lame enough to continue fads from 1983 at this point in their career? It's a good "bad movie" to watch MST3K-style, though... although seeing Jack Palance in this just made me cry. Was he forced to do it? Did he really need the money? Poor Jack. Must be pretty embarassing to be a supporting actor with top billing. Rent it and weep, my friends!

soror_yzbl Ok, the movie on it's own is pretty horrible, but when you had mike, servo and crow to the mix, it becomes the funniest movie ever made. The whole Jack Palance bit just got me going. However, if you're just watching the movie, you can surely appreciate the cheese that this movie presents. As it is commonly said, there are bad movies, and there are movies so bad they're good. This falls into the latter category. Much like Battlefield Earth.
