    Fun, quirky and worth a watch

    I had not seen the first Mandao movie (but will watch now) but really enjoyed this sequel. This is a wonderfully well written story arc into an easily watchable time frame. the characters give the sci-fi story substance. There are some fun story lines around time travel that add to the movie. Overall very well done and recommend. Anxious to see the first movie and will review that in due course.

    Absurd twist on b-movie Si-fi classics

    This was a great comedic twist on other out of body type movie. And apparently they've this is the second in the series, but I didn't realize it giving us a story that is distant enough from the original that it can be it's own film. I should have known considering it's called Mando Returns so I'll have to see the other one. There is defiantly a comedic voice here.

    A fun 70 min.

    A Fast and Funny Sci-Fi Romp

    Mixing sci-fi and horror elements with comedy is no easy task, but the team behind Mandao Returns has managed to do just that. If you're looking for something a little offbeat but a lot of fun, and that doesn't overstay its welcome, Mandao Returns is a great way to spend 75 minutes!

    A bonkers sci-fi/comedy!

    This movie is nuts. The story is fun, the characters unique, with the main players channeling the Three Stooges, all while going back and forth in time to fix errors and then making even more errors along the way. It wasn't boring, I can say that!

    Damn That Astral Projection

    What the hell? I didn't even realize this was a sequel until I finished the movie. It didn't seem to matter. I'm not sure I would call this science fiction, maybe more within the fantasy genre. I laughed many times and fell quickly into the story. It has everything I love about indie movies: quirkiness, humor, strange originality.

    Now I'm going back to watch the first one!
