The Blade Master

A guy with bandoliers but no tunic joins forces with a girl wearing a headband and a hubcap to pretty much do nothing in this no-action actioner, interrupted by frequent batches of insufferably pompous dialogue/narration and featuring costume design by H R Pufnstuf. Still, you will doubtless savor the Miracle of the Hang Glider.

Wait... wait, wait, wait, wait. There's a SEQUEL to Ator: The Fighting Eagle? And he actually ... flies?! And it looks like it somehow had a lower budget than the first film??! (There, Ator fights a shadow. Here, they can't even pay for that and he's "choreographed" punching invisible people.) This stroked perversions of my bad movie fetish I didn't even know I had, but still not as great as remembering Ator's thing for boning his sist—[Barthalen's vomit splashes into my eyes].

Hilarious. How much Keeffe is in this movie? Miles O'Keeffe.

Nobody asked for it but here comes the sequel to _Ator, the Fighting Eagle_. Once again we're presented with miles of Miles as he reminisces about past experiences (okay, okay, he has flashbacks of the first movie). fights more bad guys over the possession of some prehistoric explosive device, and, in a ludicrous ending, hang glides to the rescue! Lots of barbaric hilarity.

Horrendous. Well, unless your watching the MSTied version then it's hilarious.

Starring Tarzan in a tiny tight leather bikini, trying to save the world by flying onto a castle with a hang glider. During the prehistoric ages. Or something. Great MST3k btw.

Muahahahahaha. MST3K version only.

Barbarian bombing run. 'nuff said.

Ator! Yes, I watched the MST3K version and it's one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Glorious. 70 pts just for the hang glider.

I hate the fucking Eagle.

The Ator sequel is not only significantly poorer, it is also significantly more incomprehensible. I involuntarily shouted "WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON?" multiple times while watching this. Still, worth watching (especially via MST3K), just for the audacity of the insanity on display.

Titled simply "The Blade Master" I thought this was part of my current kung fu binge, but remembered on firing it up my haste to download the next Ator movie. Wasn't quite ready, but came around to the idea. This is shitty enough that I like it even more than the first one.

"Let's escape to Wisconsin."-MST3K.

Holy Barbarian. This is definitively the most anachronistic movie of all times besides featuring all the things a good movie needs - ninja, cannibals, giant snakes (or so) and three big caves... that are actually just the same cave. This is finally a good D'amato movie which is not really a compliment to Joey as director as it's the kind of film that's so bad that it's good again - oposed to other D'Amato films that are just bad. In fact - this is even better than Conan.

O'Keeffe flexes and ripples once again in this nonsensical adventure set in mythical times.

Mst3k score: 8/10
