Trivia
Released on December 29th, 2009 to capitalize on Avatar (2009), which was released in the U.S. on December 18th, 2009. Some claim that Avatar (2009) director James Cameron drew inspiration from the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs, which Princess of Mars (2009) is also based upon. See more »Goofs
During the first spiderling attack the collar and chain vanishes from around Carter's neck and then reappears. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

Enjoy a night in with these popular movies available to stream now with Prime Video.
1) Find a big-budget movie you can somehow associate your cheap knockoff with. That's easy, they are in development for years, while your ripoff can be made in a few weeks.
2) Try to claim it is linked to some book in the Public Domain. H.G Wells, Arthur Conan Doyle and Edgar Rice Burroughs won't turn into literary Zombies and march on your offices. (Although that would be more interesting that most asylum films, come to think of it.)
3) Get some washed up actors. People that you might have heard of, but aren't getting good roles these days.
4) Cheap Special Effects- Get some of those kookie You-Tube kids to make your monsters...badly edited them into the film.
5) Pad out 10 minutes of plot with an hour of fight scenes and wandering through the desert scenes.
Okay, Really, I'm going to say some nice things about this film. It's actually better than your average Asylum film, but that's like saying it's the least trampy Jerry Springer guest.
They've actually remained somewhat faithful to the Burroughs story, updating it a bit. (Carter is still from Virginia, but now he's an ex-Green Beret instead of an ex-Confederate officer.)
Honestly, the weakest part of the film was Traci Lords. She's never been a good actress, and you can tell she's in her forties every time they did a close up. Honestly, the girl who played the lizard chick was more attractive. Or at least firm in the places a woman should be firm.
Hey, I noticed something else. Ever notice in an asylum film, they have a lot of gunplay, but the muzzles of the weapons are almost always out of frame when they are being fired? I guess someone didn't budget for blank ammunition, but sound effects are always cheap. And Martians have 50 cals and Kalishnikovs, just like we do on earth.
