It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Uncomfortable blend of sci-fi and western, never really pulls it together. Take away the stop action scorpions and you have a pretty dull western. Take away the western and you have an amateurish sci-fi. The characters are all cartoon like and some scenes are not only unnecessary, but go on far too long. Trashing the store for instance could have been left on the cutting room floor. I realize this is not "Casablanca", but "Oblivion" really doesn't know what it wants to be. Sci-fi fans are certain to be disappointed, and western fans will find the script boring. I wanted to find a gem here, but unfortunately did not. - MERK

Why did someone ever take the trouble to make this movie?? The only thing good to see in this movie is the foxy bad girl Lash.., other than that it has it all to make this movie suck: bad story, special effects that even for 94' qualify as worse than the worst, jokes that make one laugh out of misery and last but definately not least, some serious bad acting!!Some aspects that give a good idea about this movie: out side of town you may encounter enormous clay scorpions that kill upon sight, apparently one can read the future in a cup of coffee if you look in a special way, playing bingo during a funeral is considered normal, all street lights have fans connected to them (dont ask why, its the future ok?), there are frogs about a feet high that kill you when ur scared, when u chop off a cyborgs hand it turns into a flame thrower, ah well, need i say more??when should anyone see this movie?? either when you're with a lot of friends who are all drunk (including yourself), or when u feel the time has come to see a bad movie that just stays in your head because its SO BAD!!!

You get 5 writers together, have each write a different story with a different genre, and then you try to make one movie out of it. It's action, it's adventure, it's sci-fi, it's western, it's a mess. Sorry, but this movie absolutely stinks. 4.5 is giving it an awefully high rating. That said, it's movies like this that make me think I could write movies, and I can barely write.

What do you expect? After all, these are the people that brought you Jack Deth and the Trancers movies! It's an occasionally slow-paced sci-fi western parody. The acting is mostly dreadful, and the plot is telegraphed a mile away, but if you didn't expect that from the Full Moon folks, you deserve what you get. A movie best experienced with friends and vast quantities of intoxicants. Those of us who read comics in the 70s will get the "Man-Thing" reference, and it is a hoot to see George Takei telling a bottle of whiskey, "Jim Beam me up!" Meg Foster is totally wasted as a cyborg deputy, but she does what she can with a terrible role. I loved Musetta Vander as the S&M fantasy gal Lash. A good bad movie in spite of occasional slow bits and obvious plotting. MST3K material for sure.
