While waiting for the show to begin - I decided to DVD it and watch it without the annoying commericals from the SCI FI channel - sad part is...the commercials tend to have better dialog, better casting, and better acting at times - and that's even fast-forwarding through them! While Lynda Carter looks fantastic as always - I just could not stop laughing at the dialog she was given to read. "I've been her godmother longer than she's been your ex-wife." While I adore Lynda, she must have been paid quite well for the few minutes of screen time she was given.
Casper - relegated to TV movies, and does them as serious work! You gotta love him for that alone (case in point - CURSE OF KING TUTS TOMB)! The plot is basic - "creatures" aka vampires are running around South America, Casper's ex-wife is in the jungle doing a bad version of MEDICINE MAN with the locals, and Wonder God Mother sends Casper and his soldier friends down to help out an old buddy who encountered the Vampires with him at the beginning of the movie...
Thank heaven's the wires were not seen during the cheesy special effects shots of juggling vampires tossing a grandmother around and then eating her - it was just funny enough to keep me from peeing myself, but laughable enough to make me fall out of my chair.
The writer, director, editor, producer is all one person with a bad case of multiple personality disorder when it comes to each of the jobs needed to make this piece of refried pseudo-scifi garbage.
It's so bad that I have to recommend that you see it - just so you can warn others about it.
p.s. If you speak Spanish - you will be highly offended at the weak attempts to use it as a 2nd dialog....es muy mal~!
