    Oh my god..

    This is probably the worst thing that I've ever seen. Yeah, I'll give some credit to Lou Ferrigno, I guess.. But the acting is horrible, the special effects make me want to punch a hole in my wall. I watched it over to my friends house because I had heard it was so cheesy that people in the room passed out from laughing so hard, but it made me more angry then humored. The storyline is senseless, and serves basically no purpose what so ever.

    I could probably roll up toilet paper, paint it yellow and pretend to shoot it out of a gun and you'd have better Lazer gun ammo then you see coming out of these semi-plastic guns that they're using in this movie. This is guaranteed a first take movie. I'm almost 100% positive that they never did more than 1 take.. I wonder what the director was thinking.. Ed Wood is said to be the worst director of all time, but after seeing this movie, I think I appreciate him more.. My god.. Brace yourself if you decide you watch this.. Although, you might find it hysterical. I laughed through some of it, haha.

    The Value of a Lifetime

    I just bought this movie at the dollar store, and there is a reason for it.

    With movies these days, it can be hard to choose from the R rating for $15.99, or the Unrated Version for $19.99, or perhaps even the Ultimate two disk Collectors Edition at $25.99.

    With this movie I know all that doesn't matter, for the one low price of .99 cents I get all the gruesome action of Road Warrior and the creative genius of Star Wars mixed with some of the best acting I have ever seen.

    I must say this is one of the greatest reasons to waste 89 minutes of ones life. I think I might watch it again.

    Low budget sci fi .....

    Low budget sci fi that could had been a good movie if they had simplified its script. Like many low budget films it does not have many choices or virtues to capitalize on. A good script can help almost any film including this one regardless of budget.

    It falls under the "so bad it's good" genre....

    ...but still not even THAT good. It has its moments, but the entire thing is horrendously padded with endless shots of people walking through hallways, walking through deserts, driving through deserts, etc. There's honestly about 6 scenes in the entire movie, I'd say literally about 80% of it is time wasting coverage scenes, with no dialogue. There's some hilarious scenes, and the acting is a riot. My favorite guy is the doctor with the glasses. I was so sad when he died. Half of the cast and the Drones look like the directors' neighbors. They don't even bother to do another take when they trip over their lines.

    Overall, not bad but there's better bad/good movies. Like Never Too Young to Die!

    Perfectly Awful!!!!

    This is hands down the greatest film ever created. I spent nearly 4 years searching through bad movies attempting to find the worst (and subsequently the greatest) film ever made. Desert Warrior is the summation of that quest. I have seen literally thousands of the worst movies ever made, and Desert Warrior has risen to the top. The cream at the top of the sewage barrel. In case anyone is interested the #2 worst movie ever IMHO is Octaman. If you get a chance enjoy Octaman, it is truly a "gem". But always pay homage to the "Cullinan" of movies--- Desert Warrior! As a credit to it's greatness, I have watched Desert Warrior more than 30 times. I hope you are lucky enough to see it once.
