Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe

Actors: Jesse Ventura, Sven Ole-Thorsen, Damian Lee, Jerry Levitan, Marjorie Bransfield, Jim Belushi
Rating: 1 out of 10, The latest in my journey through 100 bad sci fi films was Jesse the Body Ventura’s obvious attempt to emulate the success of the Governator in 1980s action films and he fails spectacularly. He even brought along Arnold’s designated bad guy, Ole-Thorsen, who acted circles around Ventura which is very, very telling. They both play galactic cops with interest in a young child back on earth. Ventura looked every bit the 10,000 years his character purports to be and gets his ass handed to him in every single fight. I really didn’t understand that technique. Jim Belushi appears as a completely inept high school principal for no discernible reason. I’m trying to imagine a reason to recommend this but am failing almost as badly as The Body.

MVP: Sven Ole-Thorsen as Secundus
