WAR OF THE ROBOTS, THE
(AKA: LA GUERRA DEI ROBOT)(1978)
In the set: 100 Greatest Sci-Fi Classics
A dude and dudette are kidnapped from Earth
and taken to another planet where they are
to work on a life longevity progam! A group
of other dudes and dudettes take off to try
to rescue them! This is pretty badly produced,
but the story had merit! Had it had a better
script with better actors and no dubbing, it
probably would have been great! C
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
Call me crazy, but I found "War of the Robots"
to be a campy charmer. While the plot--involving
a crazy professor and an "empress" (who looks
like Zora Kerowa's evil twin), a league of blind
alien beings, and a league of Aryan robots--is
negligible, the film possesses a low-budget
spirit that carries it quite a ways. Sure,
it feels like a rip-off of "Star Wars," "Star
Trek," "Dark Star," and even "Cave Dwellers"
(which came a few years later), but it's
low-budget fun in the same way that playing
with "A-Team" action figures was fun when
I was 5. That, and the atrocious special
effects, lousy dubbing, chintzier sets,
and sci-fi tropes (ray-guns that are really
nothing but souped-up flashlights) makes
"War of the Robots" especially juicy for
a MST3K-style skewering with a group of
friends (one wonders how this avoided
the Satellite of Love). - Jonny_Numb
