Lost Empire (1985) [G88F0170]WOW, this is a super cheeze fest.
if you like odd ball films than this is it.
Originally shot at 2:35, or thats what imdb says.
LD is pan and scan, could have been 2:00 upto 2:35 but no matter the LD is pan and scan.
you lose image on the sides, but the focus of the film is not that far off from the center and is
pretty decent.
where to start, 1st we'll do two of the actors.
you get Angnus Scrimm, which i'm sure all knows who he is, and if you don't then you have to start
watching some more B films.
Blackie Dammett, father of Anthony Kiedis, singer of the red hot chili peppers.
film starts off with a closeup of a woman’s chest
she is at wongs jewelry, after buying a necklace
and leaving, wong turns around to see 3 ninjas holding throwing Stars spinning on strings.
when he pulls his dirty harry gun then you know you're in for a ride.
some cops get killed by the ninjas, it ends up the cop has a sister in the force and she wants revenge.
so she gets 2 other women for a competition, almost like enter the dragon.
and then it gets even more crazy from there.
picture quality is pretty decent, if you can get past the P/S image it's a nice print with some
dirt and scratches but nothing bad.
audio is clear with a little background noise and some crackles at times but nothing bad.
film is fun with lots of russ meyer type scenes, but this is not a russ meyer film.
unfortunately this is the only way to see the film, or possibly pick up a copy on VHS if you can find one.
