Review:

So there is this evil brother who wants to rule the galaxy with the help of Humanoids, which are hulkish supersoldiers. But first he wants to kill the good brother who happens to be the ruler of the galaxy right now using the Humanoid prototype who looks just like Jaws (the Jaws from the James Bond movies, of course). But then there is that annoying little brat with the bathrobe of Luke Skywalker who befriends the Humanoid.

A big part of the budget was spent on introducing the designers of this movie to the look of star wars, and then the story was reduced to what they could do with the rest of the money. It is nice and entertaining, especially for fans of so-bad-that-it’s-good. And that’s the only reason why I watched it in the first place: they featured it on SchleFaZ , which is the poor (or german) man’s MST3K. So unless you are a trash nerd you may want to skip it.
