Viewing Notes

This is Fred Olen Ray stuff, so you pretty much know what you’re going to get here. Story, acting, plot, cinematography, SFX, etc. all pretty much suck. But isn’t that the joy of intentionally watching a bad movie?

One of the funniest scenes occurs right at the beginning, during an exchange of illicit archeological loot for greenbacks. Of COURSE the financier tries the cheat, and of COURSE the protagonist shoots the airplane with a single bullet from his pistol thereby exploding the fucking thing! Seriously, funny stuff.

B-Movie Queen Michelle Bauer provides most of the eye candy here as the returned-from-the-dead Egyptian queen Nefratis, but the famously endowed Kitten Natividad makes an appearance as, what else, a stripper; and Sybil Danning “rounds out” the cast.

The incredibly ancient John Carradine also pops up, just two years short of his death.
