A Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell (1990)

An American TROMA fantasy directed by Brett Piper.
A young woman in a post-apocalyptic world is fought over by men around her who kill one another or are eaten by dinosaurs.
I think "basic" describes this best. It was so simple, yet a total failure at its modest goals. It seemed like such a good idea and an easy win, but something went wrong. Almost bad to the point of being funny, but not quite. The writing, casting, acting, camera-work, special effects and editing sucked. There is really no information available about this besides name, date, cast and crew. I imagine that the dinosaurs were a mix of puppets and stop motion. They looked worse than The Lost World (1925). The female lead was on the "Itty Bitty Tittie Committee" and there was so little dialogue that the plot became obscured by lack of speech. I rate this bad and would not recommend it to anyone. You really should not watch it.

Mutant War A.K.A. Mutant Men Want Pretty Women (1988)

An American science fiction directed by Brett Piper.
The hero from Galaxy (1986) has continued adventures with human survivors, monsters and mutants. He saves a girl who is looking for her sisters and faces a man who is building a mutant army.
This was almost just like the first film of the series. This one featured more stop-motion alien monsters that were actually done quite well. I really liked the one that chased the man and the two women out of the mutant base. This film also featured a psychedelic dream sequence after the hero was given a mind-altering drink. That being said, those video elements were better, but it was poorer quality in general than the previous film. There's a section in the beginning where the hero is all serious about how bad the earth is doing and he pulls up in his car, smiling and says "yeah!", breaking character. The audio still featured '80s metal, but the other soundtrack music was really repetitive. The version that I got stopped working at an hour 14 minutes, so I didn't get to see the whole ending. Overall, the same as the first one. I rate this adequate as well.

Galaxy A.K.A. Galaxy Destroyer, Battle for the Lost Planet (1986)

An American science fiction directed by Brett Piper.
A man who has stolen a top-secret tape blasts off in a space ship as aliens are invading earth. He returns five years later and enlists the aid of a woman who saves him and the leader of a motorcycle gang to infiltrate an alien base. The base is on top of a weapon that was made before the aliens invaded that could save the human race.
This was really cheesy. The plot was simplistic, but communicated quite well. The characters were not developed very much. The main character was likeable enough though. The video was obviously done on a tight budget. The camera-work looked amateurish and the special effects were not very convincing. The audio was all very quiet, but the sountrack music featured '80s metal that I liked. The dialogue was very, very poorly written. Overall, the type of '80s trash flick that most people dislike. I found it to be so quaint that I kind of liked it. I rate this adequate.
