This movie is pretty legendary in certain circles for it's unintentional humor and general craziness.... I was a bit let down, but it's pretty fun.
I had always read that you could watch this without subtitles and still get a kick out of it (i'm not even sure if it's ever been released with English subtitles or dubbing). The version I watched had no subs and it turns out you *can* enjoy it that way, only you have to be prepared to sit through very long dialog scenes were nothing else happens and it will get very boring in spots.
Unlike Turkish star-wars, I wouldn't call this action packed... It's much slower paced. In some ways it's much crazier and it might even be funnier if i could understand the dialog. Unfortunately without access to the language, it bogs down. In my opinion it's probably best to keep the remote handy for fast forwarding.
Despite those reservations...My Recommendation would be to check this out for sure. It's got some truly insane sequences...
The film is made with a sense of reckless abandon. It's like nobody really cares if it looks professional or not. Nobody is biting they're fingernails wondering what the critics will think. They're going to make a film and they're gonna have a good time doing it, and if they get a crazy idea along the way, they'll throw it in there just for kicks. It's like the film-making equivalent to a Karaoke bar. There is no self consciousness on display at all.
If they want to do a fight scene, they do a fight scene, and they don't care if anybody on the set knows how to make it look realistic. If they want an elaborate musical number, they do one... It doesn't matter if anybody can sing or dance... They can't, and the voice they've dubbed in for the girls singing is so obvious that it's comical. There is so much reverb on the voice... it's just wrong, but in a good way..
Continuity errors and sudden inexplicable scene changes are all over the place. One minute the characters are in a room and then suddenly for no reason they are outside singing and dancing already midway through a song. There is no attempt to develop any sense of flow from one scene to another. The music just changes suddenly and we're somewhere else doing something else... Sometimes it seems to happen mid-sentence.
Any fan of B-movies should Check this out. It's pretty cool and you'll never see anything else like it, but be ready to fast forward through the slow spots unless you speak the language or have access to a version with subtitles.
