4.0 out of 5 stars In the Russ Meyer Mould, Dreadful but funny for it, 13 Feb 2004
This is one of those films that is so bad it is actually quite good. On the sleeve it says it's a spoof, although I'm not sure it was intended to be when they made it.
It says "Eye Popping Women" well they certainly would be if you stood to close to them. Very much in the Russ Meyer mould.
The story is weak at best but again it is so bad you want to know what is going on. The acting is dreadful (there is one character I couldn't understand at all) The quality of the DVD itself is not that good, you could be watching an old VHS cassette, and there are no extras.
This is a bad movie but I loved it and found myself laughing out loud quite a few times. Everyone should have a bad B-Movie in their collection, if you don't I recommend this one

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgonzola, 1 Jun 2007
By AG Stephenson "andrewjoychris" (Newhaven England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I love this movie. Amazingly, this was Jim Wynorski's first movie. I say 'amazingly' because it has exactly the same quality standards as his latest movie - 20 years and 30 movies later - where would we be without the King of the Grindhouse? Some people say that Jim's best movies were 'Transylvania Twist' (a personal favourite), 'Return of the Swamp Monster' and 'Vampirella' - but personally my favourite of all was 'Cheerleader Massacre' but then I'm a teacher so it's possible I have an agenda.

'Lost Empire' has truly terrible acting but makes up for it with an outrageous sci-fi/fantasy/martial arts plot, three extraordinarily beautiful 80s women with great perms - and actually some very clever directorial shots (Jim might be described as a professional making amateur movies). If only Quentin would rework this. Do yourself a favour, get in a couple of beers and enjoy a couple of hours mindless fun - that's grindhouse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ninjas, Wizards, Inappropriate Catsuits - it's got it all, 2 Oct 2007
By Timothy Butler "concerned citizen" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this DVD with fairly low expectations, I thought it might be mildly amusing in a kitchy sort of a way.
How wrong I was.
Taken individualy each scene is an absolute classic, for instance, you get a police shoot out against ninjas with mystic powers, a female prisoner interviewd in the shower for no discernable reason (well, she is cleaning up after a prison yard catfight), a ninja wizard devil-man with (yes!) a secret island fortress, I could go on... But if you combine all of these elements into a single film you end up with, an unwatchable mess? Well almost, but somehow Melanie Vincz and the splendidly named Raven De La Croix manage to roll the whole thing merrily along up to a ludicrous, delerious, potty finale.
If any of this ninja, wizardy, buxom fierce warrior nonsense sounds good then come on and cough up your £3.50, you won't regret it.
