Think of this film as a Saturday morning live-action program from ages ago. Even the small tykes will find this one hard to please because it runs like molasses! I can't fully understand how god awful it is to make something too typical and uninteresting, especially in the costume department! Too many warrior-wizard movies out there have used the same old plotline numerous times over, but this is mighty scarce considering its appeal to the little darlings. And who in the world would've let a topless mermaid be cast in the first place? I thought this was a "family" movie! MST3K, here's another fine gem for your 1999 TV season!

Someone watched a lot of fantasy movies and thought: Hey I can do that. Well I would argue, no you can't. No offense to whoever did this. Maybe there was interference maybe other influences ... whatever the case, this is quite the hot mess (or cold mess if you prefer that).

There is I guess a Chewbacca style character that is just ... I mean I guess you can view him as cute too. If you watched this as a kid ... who am I to say what you should feel about this? But Production values and everything cries ... in agony and pain. Even the actors it seems struggle ... then again maybe this has nothing to do with the movie but with their "talent". I'm not going to suggest anything.

Still believe it or not, I have seen worse movies. This can have some moments that are sort of fun (and I'm not talking about the not very well aged Special effects or in camera tricks) ... nothing one has to have seen ... unless they are as crazy as me I guess

this got it all, or lacks what every you put it.. very bad acting, very bad costumes, very bad settings, lousy effects, but, still this movie is a perfect example of a movie that is so horribly bad that its awesome..

i bought this on vhs 3 years ago in a fleamarket among 20 other movies didnt even reflect over this movie i just wanted a terence hill movie and got all tapes dirt cheap if i bought em all...

put this in the vhs, i got a thing for 80ies fantasy movies...

this is the only movie i saw, then directly afterwards looked on again, and the day after looked on again... that should tell you something about how cool this movie is... i enjoyed it totally..

This movie is truly brilliant. It ducks through banality to crap at such speed you don't even see good sense and common decency to mankind go whizzing past. But it doesn't stop there! This movie hits the bottom of the barrel so hard it bounces back to the point of ludicrous comedy: behold as Kor the Beergutted Conan wannabe with the over-abundance of neck hair struts his stuff swinging his sword like there's no tomorrow (and the way he swung it, I really am amazed there *was* a tomorrow for him, or at least, for his beer gut). Don't miss this movie, it's a fantastic romp through idiocy, and sheer bloody mindedness! And once you have finished watching this one, dry the tears of joy (or tears of frustration at such an inept attempt at storytelling) from your eyes because some stupid f00l gave these people another $5 to make a sequel!

Imagine if an 8-year-old tried to write a film, and cobbled together an amalgam of characters from all the films they'd seen-'The Wizard of Oz,' 'The Never-Ending Story,' 'Star Wars,' 'Conan the Barbarian,' 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', Disney cartoons, etc. That's 'Wizards of the Lost Kingdom', in a nutshell.

It's essentially a half-baked coming-of-age story of a young wizard who has to recover a ring before the evil wizard finds it. Whoever made it had huge ambitions, but it comes off like an extended episode of 'H. R. Puffenstuff' just less fun and with much lamer costumes and sets. A typical middle school play looks pretty professional, by comparison.

There's no real character development, with every character remaining just as they were at the beginning. The main character is meant to be trained in wizardry, but acts mentally slow throughout and falls for the lamest, most obvious tricks in the book over and over. Rather than survive on his wits, he seems to survive by pure luck.

As noted, it's plot light, so there's not much of a story arc, more a series of predicaments, none of which has much drama. There's a seemingly endless stream of characters who come and go, sometimes in a matter of seconds, often without any explanation of who they were.

The acting is embarrassing all around, especially number-one billed Bo Svenson, who acts like he's begrudgingly playing along with his kids in the backyard. The others are either amateur or high-camp, like the cartoonishly evil bad wizard and his partner, who make Frank-N-Furter from 'Rocky Horror' seem subtle in comparison.

The action sequences often begin and end without any actual action, as if they couldn't afford a stunt coordinator and couldn't be bothered choreographing anything, so just asked the baddies to drop their swords and run away, then moved on to the next scene.

I don't think I've ever rated anything a 1, but this film definitely earned it. Terrible acting, terrible script, terrible costumes, terrible effects, terrible action sequences. I know 'Plan 9 from Outer Space' is meant to be the king of bad movies, but this one's worse.

Go immediately and rent this movie. It will be be on a bottom shelf in your local video store and will be covered in dust. No one will have touched it in years. It may even be a $.50 special! It's worth ten bucks, I swear! Buy it! There aren't very many films than can compare with this - the celluloid version of that goo that forms at the bottom of a trash can after a few years. Yes, I gave it a '1,' but it really deserves much lower. 1-10 scales were not designed with stuff like this in mind.

It's not a good thing when the first thing you notice in a movie is the bad costume design. It's not just the spangles on everything, like Wigstock gone mid-budget, it's someone who's clearly the Wookie -- he looks to be about seven feet tall and wears a costume made from freshly washed, white poodle fur, who is usually shot at crotch level. Well, I suppose there were all those costumes from THE BIRD CAGE just lying around....

Anyway, story. Yes. Wizard Thom Christopher in a darling spangled hat kills the old king and takes over the castle and, presumably the kingdom, if he could find it. The old king's son, Vidal Peterson is a wizard, but not a very good one. He hooks up with wandering warrior Bo Svenson and the aforementioned fake Wookie, and they go on a series of poorly designed, low-level D&D encounters in their quest to get the magic ring. What magic ring? Shut up, he explained.

Along the way, there's a lot of sets from Dollar Store's Post-Christmas. sale There are also bat puppets, computer effects designed on a Sinclair ZX80, and lots of people in spangly hats. This was the year Bo Svenson joined the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Coincidence?

I first saw this film a long time ago, it was pretty bad. But I still liked it. it was entertaining to watch the worst acting possible. Now you may not know this but there was this Adult fantasy film called DeathStalker, and the plot of Wizards of the Lost Kingdom is set as a direct sequel to it. This movie is bad, so bad it's funny. that's why I give it a 5 star cause I enjoy bad movies. They're fun to watch.

Set after the events of the film DeathStalker, Wizards of the Lost kingdom is a cheaply made movie that even has footage from DeathStalker reedited as part of the movie. The soundtrack however is the best part. By far an original soundtrack, it was actually the soundtrack to Roger Corman's Battle Beyond the Stars by James Horner. It is the only really good thing about this movie. In 1989 a sequel was made and it was even worse.

Some of the actresses are attractive. The villain looked the part. And Bo Svenson speaks English. That's the end of any praise, other than the unintentional hilarity of the costumes, special effects, dialogue and cinematography.

Every stone and castle scene is an homage to stucco and paper machet. The yeti-like mascot looks like a hobo draped in a synthetic fur rug. And child actor Vidal Palacios (Peterson), who played Simon, has disappeared since this film was released.

I'd only recommend watching on the 2023 MST3K release on Netflix. While its easy to criticize, I've gotta say I'm thankful for awful old flicks like this one. Hope the actors had fun making them.

This movie is horrible- in a 'so bad it's good' kind of way.

The storyline is rehashed from so many other films of this kind, that I'm not going to even bother describing it. It's a sword/sorcery picture, has a kid hoping to realize how important he is in this world, has a "nomadic" adventurer, an evil aide/sorcerer, a princess, a hairy creature....you get the point.

The first time I caught this movie was during a very harsh winter. I don't know why I decided to continue watching it for an extra five minutes before turning the channel, but when I caught site of Gulfax, I decided to stay and watch it until the end.

Gulfax is a white, furry creature akin to Chewbacca, but not nearly as useful or entertaining to watch. He looks like someone glued a bunch of white shag carpeting together and forced the actor to wear it. There are scenes where it looks like the actor cannot move within, or that he's almost falling over. Although he isn't in the movie that much, the few scenes are worth it! Watch as he attempts to talk smack to Bo Svenson, taking the Solo-Chewbacca comparison's to an even higher level!

I actually bought this movie just because of that character, and still have it somewhere!

Gulfax may look like sh!t, but he made this movie!!! The only reason I've never seen the sequel, or even sought it out, was because of his absence! Perhaps should there be a final film, completing the trilogy, Gulfax will make a much-anticipated return!

I have to start by telling you how I came across this movie.It was winter time in Alaska around the year 1990.A friend of mine from Australia was staying with me and my girl friend in a shoe box of an apartment.Winters in Alaska can be a bit brutal and most people stay indoors,drink heavily and watch anything that comes on the television.I had found this movie outside of a thrift store laying in a snowbank and right away new it was a treasure.It is quite possibly the best worst movie ever.We spent the next two weeks watching this movie and drinking like fish.We watched it so many times in fact that we would sometimes turn the television on its side or upside down for a more full filling effect.It is a true gem.The laughs will come nonstop and the memories last forever.If you see this movie for rent in a video store,steal it.You won't regret it!

Genuinely jaw-droppingly bad. I disagree with the 'it's so bad that it's good' reviews. This film gets to that perplexing level of meaning dissonance, but just keeps going, exploring unchartered depths of bad film making.

I saw this movie by accident when it was on TV a few years ago... immediately it became a cult movie for me and my friends.

I've seen this movie about 500 times (i'm serious), and the bad special effects, bad acting, bad story, never gets old.

All i have to say is, it's so bad that it's good.

If somebody wants to make a really, REALLY bad movie, "Wizards of the Lost Kingdom" really sets a yardstick by which to measure the depth of badness.

Start with the pseudo-Chewbacca that follows around the main character ... Some poor schmuck in a baggy white "furry" costume that looks as if it was stitched together from discarded pieces of carpeting. Work your way slowly, painfully, through more not-so-special effects that thoroughly deny the viewer from suspension of disbelief. Add a garden gnome (just for the heck of it).

On second thought, skip this movie entirely and find something else to do for an hour and a half.

Deliberately the movie has a plenty scenes of parody of the Conan the Barbarian style films, i've watched this in a BETA videocassette release, i found the end credits full of the bloopers occurred during in filming, Bo Svenson take the matter as a tongue cheek humorous attitude to make this "thrash" movie, added the special effects Ed Wood trademark,for many late adolescents won't take this movie seriously, but a nostalgic feeling comes companies in remember the movie, of course. Not released in cinema, i found this in video if anyone want ask if this movie passed through cinema marquees, never i heard about them, only few scenes cut or may i must say were steal ed was posted in another TV spots in Mexican open TV networks...but this film cab be found in the thrash movies sharing place with Udo Bowel or Allen Smithee films.

This movie turns out to be one of the worst zeta series fantasy I've seen. There are too many problems to enumerate them all. I recommend seeing it so you can get an idea yourself.

If watched and enjoyed Labrynth, The Never Ending Story, Krull, The Princess Bride or any other 70's and 80's science fiction/fantasy movie made for 6 to 12 year olds, you should enjoy this. That being said, I think this move killed Thomas Christopher's Career (he was Hawk in the Buck Roger's TV Series) the movie is woth watching for the many opportunities it gives for mockery, derision, ridicule at it's expense. The key point is this movie was not made for anyone with an intellectual, or social maturity beyond about the age of 14. I watch These movies occasionally for the purpose of a short escape from reality and to relatively easier more carefree times in my life. At those times this movie and all the others that fit my description above Score 10 Star.

When I saw this movie first, it was long ago on VHS-Video. I did like this movie, because it was funny and excitingly. Some years ago I saw another movie, called: *Andy Colby's Incredible Adventure* In this movie were parts of *Wizards of the lost kingdom* used in. They called this movie "KOR the conquerer". I began to search for the "KOR"-Movie many years, because I wanted to see the complete movie, not only the parts which were used in the *Andy Colby*-Movie. No shop had this Kor-Movie to rent and no shop did know this movie. Many years I watched my old VHS-tapes I had at home, and what a wonder... I had this movie since many years still at home, but the movie had a different title, because in Germany it has 3 or 4 titles. So I was happy to find this tape at home and this time I had much more time in watching *KOR the Conquerer again. The music is great during the hole movie, but the best part of filming in combination with the music is this moment, when KOR is walking drunken through the green forrest. The music in the background had some kind of magic. I like Bo Svenson, and also the boy, who played Simon in the movie. Both of them did their job very good. Manfred Kraatz, Germany, 26.10.2004. Thanks to all for reading my comment.

When evil screams throughout the world. When all the galaxies converge. When all that's fair and fine seems lost. A Hero will emerge.

Ed Naha wrote this film and in retrospect had some humorous things to say: "I don't think this movie was so much shot as it was beaten to death. When they whittled it down to what was useful from the footage, it only ran 58 minutes. Now Roger (Corman) had done a lot of sword-and-sorcery films, and so he told a couple of the editors to pull all they could from them and edit that footage in. So now the finished movie has a 15 or 20-minute prologue that has nothing to do with rest of the film!" Some of the added scenes are obvious, and anyone who knows enough of Corman's work will notice the recycled score and other second-hand pieces. But despite the slap-dash effort, it actually comes out to be a pretty fun movie. Plot inconsistencies, yes, and some silliness, but still plenty of fun... and some rather gnarly monsters and bad guys. Whoever built these props and costumes is first-class.

I give this a 10 due to the gales of laughter it provided for my friends and I. Seriously, if you are passionate about films, you should see this when you need a good hearty guffaw!!

Oh....I'm not even sure what to say about this thing. Without question, the worst film I've ever viewed in my lifetime. As I watched, my eyes grew larger, my mouth gaped, and drool poured out. I cannot believe stuff like this gets created. People, this was in THEATRES. Imagine PAYING to see this! Oh the humanity.

Wizards of the Lost Kingdom (1985) is an Argentinean movie that I recently watched on Prime. The storyline follows an aspiring wizard whose father is killed by an evil tyrant. He sets out for a magic ring and sword to overcome the tyrant and makes friends along the way that help him on his quest.

This movie is directed by Héctor Olivera (Barbarian Queen) and stars Bo Svenson (North Dallas Forty), Barbara Stock (Spencer: For Hire), Thom Christopher (Loving), Vidal Peterson (Something Wicked This Way Comes) and Marina Magali (Jailbird).

The narration for this movie is very average. The sets, attire, props and depiction of the era is a lot of fun. The castles, houses and wizard's lair were awesome. The costumes and mythical characters were inconsistent - crazy looking sometimes and some that were very, very good. The storyline is straightforward and a bit cliche. The acting is nothing special but worked. The final scene was tremendous and made me wish that I was an extra in the movie.

Overall, this movie is more fun than it gets credit for. I would score this a 6/10 and strongly recommend it.
