Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
All-purpose sci-fi rip-off, set on a planet where evil Jordan lords it over a cadre of roller-skating minor brat-packers who call on ancient mystical force - 'Bodhi' - to escape his sway. A misbegotten Brooksfilm which sank without trace in the US. Director Johnson remains best known for staging the 'Springtime for Hitler' routine in The Producers.Author:
