This is another previously lost flick that has recently been unearthed and released by Vinegar Syndrome. I am a little surprised this didn't get wider distribution early in its life as it feels like it is odd enough to garner something of a cult following. For those who have ever delved into the weirder side of kiddie matinees this definitely offers up some reasons to become a classic: surprisingly detailed lore, ridiculous looking costumes, some lavish set pieces, some amazing shooting locations, a fun animal sidekick, and a finale that is far higher stakes than you'd ever expect. I'd rate it higher but the low points are pretty bad and basically just feature some characters walking around while they banter. Additionally the cast of characters isn't as colorful as you'd expect from the initial psychotronic first act which makes things like the walk and talk approach to filler all the more patience testing. Still this is at least memorable as it is fairly weird but I'm not sure I'd suggest it to anyone who isn't already into psychotronic kid matinees as this is too poorly paced to make a convert out of most people.
