Synopsis

Committed to overthrowing a bloodthirsty tyrant, brave freedom fighter Blaine (James Phillips) earns a one-way ticket to Prison Planet, an inhospitable wasteland where he battles violent goons and struggles to find Himshaw (Jack Willcox), the key to restoring peace and justice. Written and directed by Armand Gazarian, this sci-fi action film features plenty of comic relief from Dave Bean, who co-stars as a spineless businessman.

adw-95701 3/10This was crap. Bad acting. Stupid script. Guns jamming at all the right (wrong) times. The leader's angry bouts were hilariously overdone. The spaceship has less capability and technology than a Japanese toilet and then there is a guy in a suit, tie and hat walking around the desert trading information no one knows how he obtained..It is so bad you'd think you are watching Disney Star Wars crap or something.Three Stars for the thin eye candy woman with fine sexy legs who for some reason has a nice dress, luscious legs and great hair and make-up in the middle of the desert despite the harsh climate, fighting and capture.In Prison Planet II (don't laugh Disney is releasing more so-called Star Wars) we see the king rule again.
gavin6942 In the year 2200 Earth is under the dictatorship of an evil king, with only a band of intrepid rebels to oppose him. Blaine, one of the rebels, gets himself arrested and sent to prison in search of the true ruler, the kings brother. But the prison is protected by a brutal warlord and his equally sadistic warriors, whom Blaine must battle if he ever hopes to find truth and justice.All I have to say is: what the heck? Some parts have the worst acting, the costumes are decent at times and terrible at others... it seems like someone had a good idea here but was just not able to bring it to fruition (with this finished product not being quite ripe yet).Someone needs to get to the bottom of this...
AndyStew802 I have the tendency to lean in the direction of artistic license, but honestly this was the worst film I think I have ever seen. There was nothing redeeming about it, NOTHING! Except, there is the most amazing mullet/wig ever put on film. Even the names... the planet Anakin? Really? Absolutely positively the most hilarious overacting ever, just atrocious on all levels. I remember making movies when I was 12 that were technically superior to this film. So enjoy it and be warned. I saw it under the name Badlanders. Thanks for making this movie, idiots. Sidebar-there are two more of these? holy god. They must have made them to launder drug money or something
jonathancsuch Prison Planet made in 1992....I watched it tonight (using a fair amount of fast forward). It was called Badlanders here in Bahrain. I thought at first it was made in the 50's about the same time as Quatermass etc.I went on line to check its date. I was surprised to see 1992. What a load of rubbish. The technology displayed was ancient, the hovering vehicles stupid and the car a mince meat version of something out of Mad Max.How could such a bad movie have got financed? Surely someone was checking their investment during production. This was definitely the worst film I have ever seen and that is saying something as I have been watching movies for nearly sixty years!
