Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Aaron1375 I cannot fathom that the first Gor film was profitable enough to warrant a sequel. Sure, there were some pretty bad B movies back in the day getting sequel after sequel; however, I had at least heard of said films. I had never heard of Gor or Gor II in my youth. No, I only heard of this one after 2010 when I was looking through a list of films that Mystery Science Theater has riffed and that is how I first saw this sequel. I also saw parts of the first one, as this one recaps the previous adventures of Cabot the most bland sword and sorcery hero I have ever witnessed! Forget any Conan the Barbarian comparisons, this guy is worse than Ator or even Yor the hunter from the future who sort of lives in the past, but not really! I cannot think of a single 'hero' from a film of this type that falls as short as this guy does, and I am not just talking the character, I am talking about the actor who depicts him too. Guy is a nobody and obviously cannot fight as they had to use a stunt double for him during the 'climatic' battle scene against two rotund individuals who would only be threatening in real life at an all you can eat buffet. The only real actor of note in this one is a very angry looking Jack Palance who so obviously does not want to be in this film, but probably needed a check and thought a trip to Italy would be nice! The story has Cabot returning to the world of Gor, a world that is behind our times, but has some magic and lots of 80's looking women with big hair. That is one of the things I have to give this film credit for, it has some very attractive 80's girls in it showing cleavage and in some instances oiled up! Well, after his name is mentioned a ton of times, Cabot finds himself in the middle of a set up where a priest uses the king's trophy wife to take control of the kingdom, at least that is what he seems to be doing at first. Later, it seems more like the priest is the queen's puppet and that the priest is the more reasonable, who knows, it probably is a good book, but the movie is not. Cabot wanders the desert with his small friend sidekick and gets offers of pleasure all over the place before everyone rejoices as the defenseless queen is skewered. Bravo guys, imprisoning a woman with no weapons or powers would have been too hard.This made for a rather funny episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 as the jokes were fast and furious. Though most of the best jokes came during Cabot and friend first coming to the city and then Cabot and little friend escaping through the desert. I loved their jokes making fun of the badly dubbed little person's voice. Still, this film had more to offer as far as riffs that they seemed to miss, like the the queen being killed in kind of brutal fashion when she could have been simply taken captive. For the most part some funny stuff.So you get to see Jack Palance as some wizard type dude who seems to be pulling the strings and is not. An annoying sidekick that is thankfully tucked away for awhile and replaced by a small version of Edgar Winter. A vegetarian hero who really does not do all that much heroic stuff, but has great restraint when it comes to resisting girls who wish to give him pleasure and lots of cleavage! Also, lots of male buttocks shots for the ladies! There is something for everyone in this film! Just not a very well done story. Does not really have that great of action scenes either. The actors and actresses are bland too. Okay, so cleavage and buttocks are about it. Welcome to the magical world of Gor, where there really is not much magic beyond the ability of its people to bring a mediocre man from Earth to help them sort out their problems!
Installation_At_Orsk I was shocked to find that this was made in 1989; it felt more like an early '80s Conan rip-off. It also probably means that Jack Palance went straight from the mega-bucks production of Batman to slumming it in a desert with a bunch of Italian non-actors.The oddest thing about this movie is that it has no hero. Yes, Cabot may have the camera pointed at him most of the time, but he does absolutely nothing to affect the story's outcome. He doesn't kill the evil priest (someone else does that), he doesn't turn the people against the evil queen (someone else does that - with just one line of dialogue! These people are easily swayed) and he doesn't even kill the evil queen (someone else does that too). He might as well not have been there. For about the last 20 minutes, he just gets repeatedly beaten and whipped: it would be The Passion Of The Cabot, if anything approaching "passion" were in the actor's repertoire.Cabot's wormy friend is also one of the most annoying and punchable "comic" sidekicks in movie history.
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?
contactgmt outlaw of gor. the title says it all. a few comments before we begin: its a sequel, and far more exotic and watchable than its predecessor, useless comparisons to the story on which it was based will not be entertained here. second, mst 3k is not outlaw of gor. finally, whoever caught the midget butt thing was right on. this is typical example of a moment caught on this awkward film that makes me wonder, what, exactly, are we supposed to be thinking about this? we also see urbinos ass in the same shot. true, all of this is as appealing as awful watney smith getting massaged or the queen yelling "guards!" even once, though she does it about six thousand times in the movie...anyhow, you get the idea that the viewer is left to wonder what the filmmakers were thinking. its really baffling. jack palance is amazing. i assume he was taking his annual holiday in Italy when he got picked up for this one. his performance as Zeno is almost as good as the hip-hop/wizard costume he wears. any movie where palance wears fat gold chains and speaks in monosyllables is worth something. a half-smile is detectable on his face throughout his performance. the hardest part of the film is how unevenly its paced. this is typical for adventure films, to proceed in chapters, but nothing really apologizes for this. one more thing, in the first five minutes you will hear the name Cabot repeated about six hundred times. also, the set for the castle sort of looks like a terry Jones fantasy movie i saw once but forgot the title. one may also be confused by a scene which was choreographed in the manner of a high school dance class, with the added dimension of exploitation, achieved by a nodding palance and bouncing small man. the upper part of the frame here was masked off not very successfully in post production, or maybe during a set shot. you'll see what i mean. it sort of looks like the concert scene in the blues brothers where the crowd and the stage are pastiched together. naturally, gor doesn't achieve any describable effect. this film is very annoying at times and at others, downright mystifying. i would suggest this movie only to those who prefer a strange film and have a high tolerance for poor film-making. for those of you brave enough, i would say go out and see it right away.
