Summary: In the alien-western world of Oblivion, a suave, yet lethal bounty hunter named Sweeney arrives to arrest the seductive outlaw Lash on multiple charges, including murder. Lash, who just "inherited" a mine of Derconium (the most valuable mineral in the universe) from Crowley in a game of cards, meets up with Redeye's brother, Jaggar, who wants the mine for himself to rule the galaxy. It's a fight over Lash between the sheriff of Oblivion, Jaggar, and Sweeney. But who will emerge victorious? (imdb)

Equally cheesy sequel to the original camp sci-fi western. Most of the cast of washed up TV actors is back, including Julie Newmar and George Takei, and this flick is ok fun while it lasts, but once you take away the credits and the recap of the first movie, it's barely over an hour long. And in the end all the bad guys are killed offscreen by a giant turtle that shows up out of nowhere. Weird.

Better than _Oblivion_, this sequel seems more in control of both its story and its impressive cast of name-brand has-beens, most of whom are better served here than in part one. The last-minute homage to the _Gamera_ series (or maybe it's _One Million Years B.C._) is out of place but a nice surprise.
