I can agree that this movie now stands more as a historical document than a fully fledged fictional work. While there is a plot it's overwhelmed by the lengthy dance numbers featuring various stars of the day (i.e. Josephine Baker). This will interest anyone in costume history, early 20th century entertainment, dance or those interested in early film techniques.

It should be noted that the color is not the 2 strip Technicolor process but is either created through hand tinting or more likely through a stencil tinting process called Pathécolor/Pathéchrome. You can that it is a tint versus being a color print as you can see many scenes where the color either doesn't line up the actual outlines of the image or where only certain areas of the screen are tinted.

Skullduggery, skullduggery, ah, how you have hurt so many with your cheesy-ness. Yet, I love this movie, not as much as 'Big Trouble in Little China' or 'Trekkies,' but I love 'Skullduggery' all the same. The entire movie reeks of low budget "student film" and there are more than enough odd characters, stilted dialog and bad acting to make any bad movie fan giddy with delight. Plus they filmed the entire thing in Toronto, one of my favorite cities.

This would have been a perfect movie for MST3K. I hope that years and years from now, when all the old msties get together and lament the movies that never got the MST3K treatment, this movie will rank at the top.

Mind you I don't recommend that you watch this movie in conjunction with any other 'gamer goes crazy' movie, as the consequences for you can be dire. Yes, I was the one who watched 'Skullduggery' and 'Mazes and Monsters' back to back, and what happened? Well, I collapsed with an infected, inflamed gallbladder. You have been warned.

Still if you are looking for a movie to 'MSTify' alone or with friends, you can't beat this movie.
