Featured review
Western in outer space
Moon Zero Two boasts a standard Western movie plot-a battle over mining rights -and simply transposes the story to the Moon .You can even see the main character ,Captain Kemp as a variation on the archetypal drifting cowboy,except that it is the deep range of space rather than the prairie that forms his environment. He is engaged by multi- billionaire J J Hubbard (Warren Mitchell )to bring back a rogue asteroid made from pure sapphire and land it on a remote part of the moon.He is also assisting the bewitching Clementine -fetchingly portrayed by Catherine Von Schell-to locate her brother who has gone missing on the moon .The plot strands are linked when it is revealed that he has been killed by Hubbard's minions as Hubbard needs the area of the claim to land the asteroid on.
The look and feel of the movie are very late 60's -bright colours;"dolly girl "hairdos and clothes for the women, and the "swinging" muzak like noise that passed for soundtrack music in the lesser movies of the day. The action scenes are awful-a bar room brawl is about the worst committed to celluloid ,and a shoot out with the bad guys on the abandoned mining site is stupendously lacking in excitement or pace. Add some poor acting in most of the roles --I except Warren Mitchell and Schell -and the result is tiresome and lacking in flair or pace
Treasure Hammer Movies for the horror movies they did and forgive them this misfire
