    Did you know the Hong Kong studio Golden Harvest co-produced this movie? It would have been more entertaining if it was a badly dubbed kung-fu sci-fi movie.

    A laughable flop that I had to watch many times as I was an usher in a cinema when it came out. Very few people came to watch this turkey and some day screening played empty. At least we got to yell and laugh at the screen. We renamed it ‘Megafarce’.

    Such a shame that edward mulhaure is in this junk, thankfully after this piece of trash he went back to television co-starring on the huge hit knight rider which came out the same and launch the career of the great david hasselhoff and of course had the sleekest most coolest car ever kitt aka pontiac firebird and william daniels who starred in st. elsewhere (one of my all time favorite tv shows).
