....Which is pretty much the only occasions I'd watch this film.
Honestly, this film is one long collection of laughable clichés. More than Star Crash, and that is a feat of some magnitude.
The incredibly poor special effects. Yes, it was 1979 and this film was a low-budget spaghetti sci fi flick, so I suppose we could forgive it for this. Almost.
The incredibly laughable reuse of models and costumes from other sources which shall remain nameless to protect them from comparison.
The painfully repetitive soundtrack, more like a collection of notes strung together.... I can't believe Ennio Morricone was responsible for it.
The stunning range of Richard Kiel's acting. He must have been getting mightily sick of playing the invincible, monstrous giant by this stage. Normally nobody would play the role better, but his rampage through various faceless soldiers is so stupid as to elicit more laughs than fear.
And then there is Marco Yeh as Tom Tom.... It doesn't come as any surprise to me that this is the only production to feature him listed on IMDb.... At least he didn't have to wear the stupid costume Ivan Rassimov was made to suffer.
But gawd is it funny as hell....
