Truly Dreadful Film

Just perfect...

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Fantasy Mission Force is complete lunacy. By any sane reasoning, it's absolutely dreadful, but it's nevertheless ridiculously entertaining. Jackie only makes brief appearances, and Jimmy Wang Yu thankfully stays off screen for most of the film. The film never once makes any sense, and the "humour" is dreadful even by the standards of lowbrow 80s Hong Kong/Taiwan. It being subtitled rather than dubbed made no difference whatsoever.It's definitely a film to laugh at, not with, and I really wouldn't have it any other way. Were it a slightly better film, it would just be another generic low-budget action film. Instead we have a film that rivals Ed Wood for sheer ineptness and resembles a Chinese take on the bizarre post-Apocalypse movies that came out of Italy after Mad Max hit big.

This is the silliest, most over the top, insane movie I have ever seen! It has it all; a musical number, amazons, wizards, Nazis, and even a haunted house. The first time I saw this movie half way through, I realized that I could no longer be supprized, I was waiting for the robot pirate ninja Martians to make an appearance! Too often I think movies try too hard and as a result damage or sometimes even destroy themselves in their own pretentiousness. The people that made this movie knew exactly what it was. In order to fully appreciate this film you HAVE to be in the right mind set because it's just so silly. So if your in the mood for a wild and crazy film; check it out:)
A!
GREAT! B-Movie Weirdness! Nazis, Japs, Amazons, and post-Apocalypse Kung-Fu! One of the best B-movies, crazy kung-fu, WW2-ish, fantasy. Truly bizarre plot, Nazis & Japanese attack? Canada? capture 4 generals - one from France, one from England, one from Africa, and one from America - Abraham Lincoln!, take them to Luxembourg! the army chooses guy captain to form a team to rescue them. including the escape artist guy, the explosives guy, the old west Elvis impersonator guy, his psycho girlfriend, weird Asian Scottish highlander guy, and his sidekick dressing in roman armor. Jackie Chan is a thief the team runs into and he helps - some. they are captured by Amazons, escape a haunted house, and finally have a show down with the 70's car chariot riding Nazis & Japs. Most everyone dies. Jackie revenges them. bizarre and surreal plot, quite a bit of good kung-fu action. lots of B-movie sets, and costumes. just great! taking it for what it is.

It seems like a lifetime ago that I used to go around car boot sales looking for interesting 'stuff'. Kung-fu movies were always a real find. Often they were obvious boots, this one looks like a boot, but appears to be an original. Some guy called Jacky Chan appears in it according to the label.Now a whole lot of early 'kung-fu' films were really weird, but nothing I had seen before could ever have prepared me for this! There are 37 other reviews here that explain the intricacies of the non-existent plot so I shan't bother (Actually it's not so much non-existent as existing in a whole other dimension), suffice to say, if you are ever attacked by a kung-fu Amazon, this is the film that shows you the ONLY way in which she can be defeated! If you like martial arts movies, don't rush out for this one just yet. Did you enjoy 'Kung fu - Headcrusher'? You're on your way. Do you like The Prisoner, Stalker (Andrei Tarkovsky), The Strange World of Gurney Slade, and No Soap Radio? Then there's hope for you. How about pre-Python weirdness like Twice a fortnight?Then, my child, you are ready.Insert media, open mind, watch and enjoy... And welcome to the world of the more-than-normal.
