Gor is about a college professor Tarl Calbot who puts on a magical ring that transports him to the planet of Gor. This movie was made during the 1980's when movies like Star Trek and Star Wars were popular. Somehow they got both Jack Palance and Oliver Reed to star in this movie. I know Nicolas Cage over the years has starred in some bad movies. You wonder why they even agreed to star in this movie.
This movie really needed a higher budget. The armor the characters were wearing looked like plastic. You had cheesy music that resembled something cross between Star Trek and Star Wars. I guess they couldn't come up with something more original. There is suppose to be a planet called Gor with all sorts of unique creatures. This movie makes you feel like you are stuck in the Shara Dessert and not on some other unique planet. Someone mentioned in the book they weren't even riding horses. I guess they didn't have enough money to actually make this a decent movie. Disney at least tried to make John Carter a good movie. They tried to make a series of books into a good movie.
