Written and directed by Armand Gazarian, this sci-fi action film features plenty of comic relief from Dave Bean, who co-stars as a spineless businessman.

Surprisingly incoherent and boring
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
3/10This was crap. Bad acting. Stupid script. Guns jamming at all the right (wrong) times. The leader's angry bouts were hilariously overdone. The spaceship has less capability and technology than a Japanese toilet and then there is a guy in a suit, tie and hat walking around the desert trading information no one knows how he obtained..It is so bad you'd think you are watching Disney Star Wars crap or something.Three Stars for the thin eye candy woman with fine sexy legs who for some reason has a nice dress, luscious legs and great hair and make-up in the middle of the desert despite the harsh climate, fighting and capture.In Prison Planet II (don't laugh Disney is releasing more so-called Star Wars) we see the king rule again.
...the 30 minutes I watched of Badlanders, which is attached to this in some way, was easily the worst footage of the worst acting I have ever seen in my 34 years of life. The details are lazily unresearched. One guy even pumped a rifle like a shotgun.
Prison Planet (1992).Extremely low budget, but it has its moments. Of course it has some of the worse acting around and lousy effects, but it grinds on you and you begin to laugh. For what it is, it's watchable.A man breaks into a governmental building to get sent to a prison planet where some nut-ball old king is living. He meets desert nomads and runs into "Broxton", a muscle-bound moron with the brains of a rock. It's a mix of Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981) plus the standard prison escape drama.The man wears a black leather suit that is like the "Stillsuits" of Dune (1984).Broxton (Michael M. Foley) reminds me of the white guys from Hercules Against the Mongols (1963), as he has a fake Mongolian mustache and black hair and he wears the armor from the film.Everything resembles the "Earth", but still, it's a bit fun, yet the ending will leave you asking, "What was the point of it all?"
Prison Planet made in 1992....I watched it tonight (using a fair amount of fast forward). It was called Badlanders here in Bahrain. I thought at first it was made in the 50's about the same time as Quatermass etc.I went on line to check its date. I was surprised to see 1992. What a load of rubbish. The technology displayed was ancient, the hovering vehicles stupid and the car a mince meat version of something out of Mad Max.How could such a bad movie have got financed? Surely someone was checking their investment during production. This was definitely the worst film I have ever seen and that is saying something as I have been watching movies for nearly sixty years!
