“This is a wonderful parody of the original serial version from the mid 1930s. The quality of acting, writing, directing, budget, costuming, and effects is dead on, almost a one-for-one match. Lots of great dialog, very quotable (u0026quot;Good, thereu0026#39;s Oxygen on this planet.u0026quot;).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are two versions of this film floating around, the unrated version and a cut u0026quot;Ru0026quot; version. The unrated version is the one to see! Most films can have u0026quot;Xu0026quot; material edited out of them with no consequence, but not here. Whole sections of the plot (as thin as it is) are missing without the deleted footage.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film features early work from Greg Jein, David Allen, Rick Baker, and Jim Danforth (who is listed with his name spelled backwards u0026quot;Mij Htrofnadu0026quot;). All went on to greater things in their careers.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAvoid the sequal from 1989, it tried too hard and fell flat on all fronts.”
