Amateur movie with Big budget

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

There is a passable film here but only if you skip watching the beginning "future man in the cave sequence". The boring, monotoned, bearded man watching boring stock footages, while playing with a snake & putting everyone to sleep. This leading footage doesn't even match the film. So do yourself a favor & skip ahead past the cave historical footage review until you see Robert Vaughn Appear. Do the same at the end & you will find a watchable Vaughn film in between.I also found the commentaries of a couple former actors to be quite interesting to read describing what it was like to appear on this film.It is a shame that IMDb tries to coerce our credit card info & access to our other site logins for supposed "additional authorization" despite some of us being members for over a decade. They even wanted us to pay them for us providing them with free photos for the IMDb site. There is something seriously wrong & crooked about their setup.I would send compliments to the actors who commented on this movie but I'm not about to give IMDb any financial or other site login info for additional authorizations they have no business or justification to ask for. They will never got that info from me. It is their loss if my 10+ years membership isn't good enough to contribute my knowledge or correction of errors.Beware of any site or business wanting your financial info or your login access to other sites.As for the movie, just skip over the man in Cave sequence which has no bearing on the movie whatsoever & it will be fairly watchable like one of those Matt Helm flicks.

I was a Hollywood actor for some 20 years from 1982 to 2001. I lived on Hollywood Boulevard (the famous street with all the stars embedded in the sidewalk) and I had the famous Hollywood Sign outside my residential hotel window. I ate drugstore-bought canned meat with pork-n-beans and had Snack Wells for dessert.I performed in plays, TV shows, movies, and even... (*cough*)... porn films. Most actors in Hollywood are willing to accept any role they can get at any time. That's true even for old warhorses like Aldo Ray, Keenan Wynn, and Robert Vaughn, the 'stars' who appear in this movie.This film is a little video-taped thing directed by sci-fi schlock master David Hewitt. It was just another quickie production, but luckily for Dave, Bob Vaughn of all people, was 'available' (no doubt Hewitt saw him in the old Candy's coffee shop on Ventura Boulevard at 3 A.M. - where a lot of us salad day actors hung out - and said, 'Hey man, would you be in one of my flicks?', and Vaughn, being a nice guy, obliged).Smash-cut to the film set, early on a Saturday morning, 'on location' at an unoccupied commercial office building which Hewitt rented out for the day. And here they all were.... Aldo Ray in the parking lot talking with Keenan Wynn about how many miles his pickup truck has weathered, Vaughn eating an Egg McMuffin in his car, and Hewitt inside the building lining up camera shots for the day's work with his trusty weekend film crew.This is what it's like to be a Hollywood actor, unknown like so many of us, or a long-toothed former TV star, like so many of them. Something special, is Hollywood, California. On time for the 'shoot' in the early morning SoCal air, did you even sleep last night? Always wishing for an 'opportunity' like this - and this IS an opportunity. So many hopefuls waiting to be in a production, any production.... and this classifies as Any Production.You have to see this obscure, off-the-cuff, off-the-wall film to understand what the phrase 'low-budget' or 'weekend warriors of the movie industry' really means. It's something unique to be a big star in the Los Angeles entertainment machine, but so is being a struggling actor in Hollywood U.S.A.To the masses of unknown actors like me who pounded the gilded pavements of Hollywood and vicinity looking for that 'big break', or to appear in a lost-at-sea production like this one, it was a long, tough, obstacle-strewn road of penny-pinching budgets and donut shop all-nighters........ and I wouldn't trade those 20 years for anything in the world.

Poor Robert Vaughan. Perhaps he did this for the money though as the budget wasn't that large one can't imagine he got that much. It begins with an almost unending scene where the last free man on earth (I think) watches a potted history of the twentieth century (apparently this is meant to be an awful warning about human behaviour) before it begins proper with agent Vaughan in the course of his investigations discovering an island where the Fourth Reich is sending out clones of influential people to take over the world. This might have some entertaining camp value if the film wasn't so slow. Still, any film with a Robert Vaughan clone and an Adolf Hitler clone can't be all bad. There were lots of girls clad in blue dresses whose function escaped me but they were nice to look at. So look at your government leader close. He may be a Nazi clone....

This is a horrible movie. But it is also quite charming in the best bad movie way. What does it have. It has a man living in some mountainous (Scandanavian?) country with the entire knowledge of the earth on crystalline rocks, reviewing the decline of the human race. Interestingly, most of the history is in black and white with projection streaks running through them. The main story, however, involves the rise of the Fourth Reich. It is a convoluted story that really makes no sense. People are being captured and turned into zombie like clones. They then do the bidding of a Herman Goering type leader who sits back and yells out orders. There are women with machine guns that can fire up to 50,000 bullets without loading. The Nazi's are utterly incompetent. They leave a fully loaded tank around that can easily be commandeered by anyone who knows how to run it. What happens is apparently what causes the downfall of civilized society, but I'm not sure why. Keenan Wynn plays an old guy with a Santa Claus beard who rants and raves. We can't tell the clones from the real people and what, exactly, happens at the end. It's just the silliest piece of junk, but those women, running around in their gray prison uniforms, firing machine guns, is quite remarkable.
