5: A cover which has almost nothing to do with the movie. Soft saxophone music playing when the two men are fighting? A 'happy tune' taken straight from "Manhunter" playing during the final showdown? This movie would work much better with 'real' movie music, or at least a heavy metal-soundtrack! Carlos Lopes must die! Or at least get fired and sued for impersonating Kenny G. 4: Excruciatingly bad and misplaced music. Looks like the scene was a late write-in to give Marjorie Bransfield at least one good actor to work with - that is, her own husband at the time. James "Jim" Belushi appearing as the seemingly VERY incompetent principal, who doesn't understand children at all. 3: A totally redundant cameo from a 'big name' actor. The Comater? Sargacia? Finders? Anti-Life Equation? Volted T-Squared? Pla-steel? Answerboxes? I need to find the comater, he must have the answers to all of this.
THE HIDDEN MOVIE INTERGALACTIC COP PLUS
I rooted for Secundus throughout the movie, he's the most interesting character of the two, Abraxas is just boring and has a really nasty skullet is he bald or does he have a ponytail? Neither, he has both! Secundus has a cool beard and a huge scar across his face, making him look really tough! Plus he doesn't whimper and flutter around when he gets hurt like Abraxas does.especially when timetravelling through water! 2: The totally incomprehensible plot. This movie has it all! My 10 stars come from this: 1: A Bad Guy who's more sympathetic than the hero. I just have a fondness for bad movies and bad actors. I have to say that this is one of my all-time favorite movies, and no, I am not crazy. Undistinguishable, but better than expected camp that has some heart. The supposed humour on the other hand, (which the script tries for in parts) is dumb and falls flat, because they're not the moments you'll laugh at. The flabby script is constantly stiff drivel and the screenplay while focused is still quite pedestrian (with a meandering midsection), but whenever Ventura's narrative voice-over pops up it amuses. It's well-photographed and the soundtrack is a flavoured sample of swiftly soothing jazz (odd I know) and electrifying rock. Sure the minimal special effects and (out of place slow-motion) action set-pieces are low-scale, but modestly crafted. Damien Lee (b-grade actor/writer/director) manages to make the production look better technically than its budget would allow. Also appearing in very minor support is James Belushi (who has a ridiculous conversation with Bransfield's character) and the dependable Michael Copeman. Marjorie Bransfield is decent in her part. A robotic Sven-Ole Thorsen forcefully played the evil foe, but Ventura has an sincerely likable air to him that makes him rather appealing in the role. At times the chewy dialogues (honestly it was Shakespeare stuff) seemed too much of a mouth-fall for the two outer-space guests. Ventura rocks, but something about his burly physic not matching up to his well-mannered delivery of the material raises some chuckles with his almost-like second-rate Terminator impression. Don't look too hard into it, as it won't be impossible to get some sort enjoyment out of it with its unintentional mocking and bizarre nature (like the birth scene). It's best that you just go with the flow. Times passes and the renegade escapes and heads back to earth to find the child, but Abraxas is soon on his trail by trying to get to the child first. Instead of destroying the threat, he spares the mother and baby's life.
He captures the renegade, but is too late to stop the pregnancy. Abraxas, an alien officer comes to earth to track down a renegade who plans to impregnate a woman with a child, which would be an actual ticking time bomb waiting to explode if caught in the wrong hands. It's a low-rent, corny b-grade sci-fi chase get-up in the form of those efforts done in the late 80s / early 90s ('The Hidden', 'The Peacekeeper' and 'Dark Angel') with certain elements of 'The Terminator' (1984) obviously featuring. After appearing as support in such films 'Predator', 'The Running Man and 'Ricochet', his first leading role happens to be in something rather lesser 'Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe'. Anything starring ex-wrestler / former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura gotta be worth your weight in gold.
