Empire of the Dark

They used the type of dummies like on later seasons of Married with Children. My brother watched with me and we had a had to pause and rewind due to missing parts from laughing so hard. I teared up and will probably be sore tomorrow. The early parts with the ninja jawas were so funny I'm posting before even finishing the movie. It has been a rough week, and this movie absolutely gave us some much needed time laughing and forgetting the problems of the world. For reference, for me it seemed kinda like a better version of Samurai Cop (I recommend the Rifftrax version). Thank you so much for this film. It was perfect therapy for us.

This movie is something really remarkable. The acting is BAD... And sometimes great. The effects are BAD... And sometimes great! There is so much sincerity and passion in this that it's hard not to get swept up in it. Probably amazing in a theater setting, I still found it incredibly compelling at home by myself. Not for everyone, but I hope the right people will find it.

Hello All,

firstly i am over the moon to see that someone else has watched this film. Like they have said. This film is terrible. I remember going to New years eve party in 2002 and having a pretty terrible time of life (i wont go into it). My mam picked me up the next day from the party and took me home. I was ridiculously hungover and could hardly function. I was only 17 at the time (hardcore). She told me her friend and had picked this video up from a 1 Dinar shelf (1 pound 75 pence). She said Paul... You have to watch this. So begrudgingly i started to watch it. It started off pretty poor and it wasn't until the future when the demons arrive again that it got entertaining. Entertaining is probably the wrong word. I cannot lie to you here. I was on the floor laughing so hard my stomach was in pain. There is a specific fight scene where Steve or Richard fights off about 20 demons. Its quite strange how all the demons are wearing CATERPILLAR boots and blue jeans. Yes pretty much these 20 demons are in reality around 3 people pretending to be the other 17. I will not give anything else away.

So,

If you somehow stumble across this film in the shop or you stumble across this review. Please buy this NOW and watch it. Have a few beers... enjoy yourself because it is the greatest most terrible film i have ever seen!

'RICHARD, SAVE MY BAAABY'!!

A totally insane vanity project that's so earnest you can't help but give the dude mad props for the valiant attempt. Sure he failed on almost every level, but it's such a spectacular failure that it transcends moviemaking into something new. Totally worth watching!

I absolutely loved this movie. It was not good in the traditional sense, but it was immensely entertaining and had tons of heart. You could say it was the Rocky of B-movies. You can tell that the writer/ director, who coincidentally plays the main character, just put every ounce of effort into this thing. I mean, there's multiple sword fighting scenes. They could've used guns (which they do plenty), but he clearly, CLEARLY wanted to get in some sword play. The result? Sometimes good. Sometimes bad. Sometimes awesome. And sometimes laugh out loud silly. I won't give anything away, but if you're a fan of B-movies, this is an absolute must see!
