Personally, this really isn't my kind of movie, but I got hold of it on VHS because of Meg Foster. And am I ever glad I did.
This isn't really an "adventure/action" picture. It's more like high camp. If it reminds me of anything, it would be "Barbarella." True, Meg Foster's a little older here than Jane Fonda was in "Barbarella," and true, she's one of the "baddies," but still . . .
Even if you don't particularly go for these kind of "comic strip" movies, you've got to see this one for Meg Foster's performance as Evil-Lyn. Yeah, she's one of the "baddies" but still she comes off kind of likeable, sort of like she's been victimized herself by Skeletor in some way or another. In fact, I think that's how she described her character of Evil-Lyn in some interview she gave.
As a side note, James Tolkan is hilariously perfect as Detective Lubic. I love that scene where he's feeling perfectly demolished in the middle of all these space invaders and says something like, "Gee, I think may be I need some back-up!"
