Oblivion

Fun-tastic sf-western, full of gags, thanks to a sassy script from Peter David: the son of a great marshall of the law is forced against his will to take the star from the deceased father and fight against a bunch of criminals, lead by a lizardman call Red-Eye. I think this is the only movie where you may find a Wishmaster, a Catwoman, a Sulu, a Lurch...

They just don't make em like Oblivion anymore. This movie is so bad that it's good. It's like watching a movie that was supposed to be serious but halfway through they decided it should be a comedy. There are some really great lines in here that should not be missed. "Not man enough? or maybe you're too much man, too much... HU-man?" or the s**t a brick in your pants funny "associ-whats?" line. Or the bingo during the funeral "B9!" Oh man, I'm cracking up right now writing this. And of course the best part is that it ends with "to be continued" and a hilarious preview of the sequel. Anyways, if you want to see a really unintentionally funny movie with microphones and ads for other movies blatantly in several shots then see this now, i concur with the beer suggestion of these other guys too. Oblivion, really great movie, watch it.

Oblivion (1994) is a Full Moon feature I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a small western town on another planet filled with humans and aliens. The villain on the planet decides him and his gang are going to take over the town by killing the sheriff and laying down the law. The sheriff's son wants revenge for his father's death leading to a showdown with the alien villain.

This movie is directed by Sam Irvin (Guilty as Charged) and stars Richard Joseph Paul (Vampirella), Jackie Swanson (Leathal Weapon), Andrew Divoff (Wishmaster), Meg Foster (They Live), Isaac Hayes (Escape from New York), Carel Struycken (The Addams Family), George Takei (Star Trek) and Irwin Keyes (The Warriors).

The cast in this is absolutely amazing. As you watch the movie I kept finding myself saying, "No way, he/she are in this?" The settings, sets, soundtrack, makeup and masks in this are absolutely awesome in a cheesy but fun way. This does have a made for TV feel to it like a Xena from this era, but it is still entertaining, random and hilarious. There's some crazy sound effects in this that will crack you up and I was dying when the robot sounds like a vacuum cleaner. There's also some good kill scenes and gore.

Overall this is more entertaining than good but it's definitely worth a watch. I would score this a 5.5/10 and recommend seeing it once.

Uncomfortable blend of sci-fi and western, never really pulls it together. Take away the stop action scorpions and you have a pretty dull western. Take away the western and you have an amateurish sci-fi. The characters are all cartoon like and some scenes are not only unnecessary, but go on far too long. Trashing the store for instance could have been left on the cutting room floor. I realize this is not "Casablanca", but "Oblivion" really doesn't know what it wants to be. Sci-fi fans are certain to be disappointed, and western fans will find the script boring. I wanted to find a gem here, but unfortunately did not. - MERK

What do you expect? After all, these are the people that brought you Jack Deth and the Trancers movies! It's an occasionally slow-paced sci-fi western parody. The acting is mostly dreadful, and the plot is telegraphed a mile away, but if you didn't expect that from the Full Moon folks, you deserve what you get. A movie best experienced with friends and vast quantities of intoxicants. Those of us who read comics in the 70s will get the "Man-Thing" reference, and it is a hoot to see George Takei telling a bottle of whiskey, "Jim Beam me up!" Meg Foster is totally wasted as a cyborg deputy, but she does what she can with a terrible role. I loved Musetta Vander as the S&M fantasy gal Lash. A good bad movie in spite of occasional slow bits and obvious plotting. MST3K material for sure.
