Nemesis III: Prey Harder

Alex (Sue Price) has ended up stranded in the East African wilderness, and she has no idea how she got there. Soon encountering the obviously not-to-be-trusted "Farnsworth 2" (comedian / B movie icon Tim Thomerson), Alex ultimately flashes back to the previous 22 hours, in which she had learned that she has almost two dozen half-sisters who wish for her to return to 2077.

The screenplay is potentially quite confusing, but it's clear that writing is not B movie veteran Albert Pyuns' strong point. Mostly, he sets up some undemanding low-budget genre nonsense, with some decent action & explosions, a barrage of tacky visual effects, a solid music score by Tony Riparetti, and a welcome sense of humor.

Prices' acting improves a bit from the previous sequel, but her real asset remains her incredible physicality. Thomerson, as always, provides an excellent villain, and Pyun repertory player Norbert Weisser is likewise fun as a wise-cracking mercenary. The real highlight is the pair of camp performances by Sharon Bruneau & Debbie Muggli as two lookalike, blonde wig-wearing cyborg goons. They have good chemistry and get some good laughs.

Overall, this wasn't as entertaining as the previous movie with Price, and only truly die-hard lovers of this kind of techno-cheese may really get into it.

Five out of 10.

Nemesis 3 is the worst movie what I have ever seen!!! I think that Nemesis 3 was only 30 minutes long. And that movie was so boo-oo-ring. When that movie ends and I saw word: NEMESIS 4... I thought I will...NOT watch that movie never again.

This is going to be my first review on IMDb and I'm glad that the standard rating is 1 out of 10 because then I don't have to change anything...

First there are awful movies. Movies you can make a laughter out of, like Island City, Battlefield Earth or Conan The Destroyer. That is totally acceptable. They makes a great party enhancer. Then there are the worst movie ever. I cannot believe how utterly crappy this steaming pile of dog turd was.

I found it on a second hand store on VHS and bought it quickly because I like sci-fi, Terminator, post-apocalypse and stuff like that. Everything on the box art was very promising. Then I loaded in the tape quickly when I got home and the first thing that I noticed was... WHAT? There was maybe 10 minutes (or more) of switching between present clips and flashbacks in a very annoying blue effect, with sounds that makes you puke. And it just continues over and over. Then some "acting" kicks in and you wonder why you were ever born in a world, where this abomination of mankind actually exists... And then I realized, THERE ARE ACTUALLY TWO PREQUELS. I didn't think about it first, but the title says "3" in it... And I was horrified. But as I actually in great pain and agony watch it to the end, I thought nothing could ever make me feel worse about myself and this universe... But then a little text showed up saying... "Next..." and... NEMESIS 4?!?!?! NO PLEASE NO!!!!!!!!

The butch lesbian continues to run around for no apparent reason battling cyborgs to save the future or some $#!+ like it. Nemesis 3 isn't as bad as some people make it out to be. I agree that the flashback scenarios are irritating and the twin cyborgs are annoying as hell but this is still relatively decent straight to video action movie. The action sequences are pretty good with a lot of explosions, some of the cyberpunk elements are actually fairly good and Sue Price running around in her 3 foot tall muscular frame is, uuuuuh, sexy I guess if you like that feminine manly crap. Very very very very far from the best movie ever made but it's not too terrible. I've seen a lot worse I guess.

There's something about a movie that features female bodybuilders that gets me in front of the screen every time.

I've seen "Pumping Iron II", "Aces: Iron Eagle III", "Raven Hawk", and even the TV movie "Getting Physical", which featured some big names in the sport. They were tolerable in their own ways (mostly, because they featured Rachel McLish. ROWWR!!).

Then I went and watched "Nemesis III: Prey Harder", on the sole basis that it featured such luminaries as Sue Price, Debbie Muggli, Sharon Bruneau and Ursula Sarcev. Love the ladies, always will, but after this I'm kinda glad I missed the first two "Nemesis" flicks.

Well, the first one, anyway. Most of the footage here is lifted bodily (and kicking and screaming, I would guess) from "Nemesis II". Actually, that one looked marginally entertaining from the evidence supplied here.

But even though Price and company flex and pose, they don't get much of a chance to do anything else (like, say, ACT!). In fact, this whole film is an exercise (Get it? Ha-ha...) in oblique story-telling, ambiguous characters and open-ended movie-making (in terms of filming as well as the story-line).

Nothing makes much sense but even if it did, there would still be issues - such as making such small parts for such larger-than-life women as these. What a crime.

Of course, it was written and directed by Albert Pyun, so what did you expect: cohesion?

One star only, in consideration for all the hard work that Price, Muggli, Bruneau and Sarcev obviously put into their bodies, NOT the "craft" work done within the movie itself.

Thanks, ladies.
