Summary: For your viewing pleasure
Comment: People mentioned it in their reviews, so I'll go ahead and say it.
MST3K should really put their version of Outlaw of Gor out on DVD. Since they don't, here's a suggestion...
When I was in college, my roommates and I sometimes threw "beer (optional), pizza and bad movie" parties on Friday nights or at the end of exam week. I wish at least one of us knew about this movie back then.

Summary: Conan Il Barberini
Comment: "Outlaw of Gor" was delightfully skewered by the MST3K crew,led by the indubitable Mike Nelson,but one can assume that on its own it's a pretty awful movie. It's an Italian pseudo-Conan the Barbarian,a spaghetti fantasy.
Tarl Cabot,a professor,is transported to an alternate dimension,Gor,thanks to the "Home Stone." He has a glowing mood ring...and he happens to bring an irritating schlub&fellow professor,Watkins,who thankfully spends most of the movie locked up (but not after enjoying the pleasure of the evil queen) Cabot is considered a hero;he's greeted with the constant cries of "Cabot!Cabot!" ("Cabot" is the word dominating most of the first half of the movie) He has a girlfriend,Talena,whose existence consists of being scantily clad&making love to him. Jack Palance plays an evil priest-king who wears embarassing hats,and,at one point,a skullcap.He gets to be menacing as well as out-of-place.
Cabot is falsely accused of killing the good king,joins up with an albino midget (a real twofer) and shows his high ideals on his quest. He frees slaves,he follows his vegetarian diet...and finally ends up with his ladylove.The movie ends abruptly with Watkins,still in the dress of the planet Gor,being hauled off by cops.When it comes to pointless fantasy,"Outlaw of Gor" definitely is pointless.Thankfully,it's brief.

Summary: Bad Headgear, round 2
Comment: The first movie in this series was so bad; I had to see this one just out of morbid curiosity: Could the trend continue? Yes, it could and did. IIRC there is a lot of mismatch between the sound track and the 'action' on the screen -- the most glaring has to be the dramatic orchestral build up for a simple walk across the desert... no bad guys or action in sight. Just a simple walk across the ... uh-huh ... yup. You get the point.

Summary: Minus 5 stars would be more like it.
Comment: All I can say is, this movie deserved everything it got when it was blasted by the Mystery Science Theatre 3000 crew.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A meandering juvenile film with absolutely no merit.
Comment: Tarl Cabot is once again spirited away to Gor to rescue Ko-Ro-Ba from evil. Unfortunately, even he cannot rescue this film from stilted dialogue (said of a dead man: "There is nothing we can do."), miserable acting (*falling* down a *sand dune* for no reason), and a complete lack of plot and characterization. The fight scenes will either make you laugh or turn your stomach. And Gor without nudity? Without tarns? Without authentic He Men? Without even a real slave girl? (But with a cardboard castle?!) Don't buy this film. It does not even resemble the books and it isn't worth a cent.
