Okay, so a lot of people didn't like this movie because the plot (though existent) seemed to take a backseat as the film just displayed a string of incoherent and bizarre fight scenes.
However personally, I think this is the kind of film that though you may not admit to liking, you can easily enjoy it. It's the kind of movie which you'd pop in on a Saturday night when eating junk food with friends (drugs optional).
It's not going to win any awards. However it does what it's trying to do very well, and that is to make us laugh. You can't really judge a film fairly on what it's not attempting to be.
This is not, in my opinion, Lee's best film. It's not even all that close to the level of brilliance of Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter, which not only worked even better as a popcorn movie, but actually had some very clever ideas and messages behind it as well if you cared to look for them.
This is more on par (although I can't decided whether it's directly above or below) the 30 minute short Harry Knuckles and the Treasure of the Aztec Mummy, a hectic mess of fun. And personally, I think Phil Caracas is Canada's Bruce Campbell. He does great things with camp.
Obviously you aren't going to find this at your average video store, however I'd say it's worth the $15 to buy it off amazon if you've enjoyed Lee's other work and/or you and your friends enjoy great b-movies.
