Um, what's a "fantazoid monster"? There sure weren't any of those in the film I watched. What I did see were lots of low budget effects and sets, but the camera tended to avoid these and instead linger on our two heroines as they paraded around in lingerie and leather bikinis. Which makes the film a cheap exploitation piece, but we all knew that from the title, didn't we? This film is credited as a remake of the '30s classic THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME, but it changes the setting from an island to a futuristic planet. It's total rubbish but that's not to say it isn't worth watching. It does pass the time nicely and it's a good title to have in your collection. The acting is non-existent, although the girls don't stumble too much with their lines and there is a great role from Scribner as Zed, the psycho hunter.
I really liked this guy and found myself rooting for him. Gelled hair, black clothes, hairy chest, heck, even a medallion, he was the coolest bad guy (terribly clichéd too, but you come to expect that with films like these). The sets of this film are less than impressive. 95% of the backgrounds are obvious drawings, and I haven't seen recycling of the same sets over and over again since I watched PLAU DEAD (where they had the same street as two different locations, the difference? Parked cars in one, no parked cars in the other).
The special effects range from good to atrocious. The monsters look good, as do the robots, but the laser blasts are that bad computer effect which appears in hundreds of '80s sci-fi films such as these. Even DR WHO used it copiously. As expected the girls find various ways of taking their tops off, but don't expect this to be some soft-core porn epic, there's very little nudity. What there is, is lots of action to keep you watching. A real cheap and cheerful piece of trash. I expected it to be from Troma but not this time, however the spirit of cheap exploitation that we all know and love is definitely there.
