I now know where Persis Khambatta went to die after starring in the first Star Trek movie (she was the bald chick, in case you forgot): B-movie oblivion.
It suits her though, and frankly she’s one of the highlights, if you can call it that, of Warrior of the Lost World, which is a typical post-apocalyptic ‘80s movie, replete with motorcycles, badly armored ‘Road Warrior’ derivative vehicles, punk/new wave gangs, and bad acting.
The worst acting is by the film’s star, Robert Ginty, whose lines consisted almost entirely of “C’mon, let’s go” and “C’mon, let’s get out of here.” I shit you not.
Donald Pleasence took some time out of his busy Halloween schedule to turn a trick as the evil mastermind who the good guys are trying to bring down. He has a pretty good death scene that’s worth watching for.
The gun battle action is hilarious, as it pretty much involves people running really fast and mowing down other people running really fast. I guess the tactic of firing from cover was lost in the future.
And in case everything I wrote above didn’t make it clear, I loved this movie!
