In the very beginning of Gor, you are introduced to Tarl, who is a physics professor who decides to spend the lecture period before spring break (or something) talking about this ring he inherited that sure as fact will somehow give the wearer the ability to travel to another dimension, though science hasn't figured out how to explain it yet.
The students were completely unphased but it was the 80's everyone had their own wacky shit to deal with while double fisting Tab cola's and thrashin' on their hover boards.
I was into it, though! "Okay, Tarl, I'm listening," I thought. I'm ready to ride this midnight train to Gorsville.
It didn't take long for his fluffy haired lady friend to be stolen away by some Chet in RayBans and before you knew it interdimensional travel was realized!!
Only heres the thing- Tarl does exactly what he was just telling his entire class not only COULD happen, but HAD happened, and then he does it and he totally dorks out!
I think I could make a great drinking game to this movie (which I may add to the end of this review), and perhaps that is the best way to watch it since it goes on FOREVER and they clearly couldn't afford much in the way of special effects or props (except the bottle of ketchup used for one important death scene).
It runs pretty much like every fantasy flick from the time, complete with the standard butt thongs, mullets, several people getting nets thrown on them, and a sassy dwarf.
His companions are hilarious in their own way; one sounds like Luke Skywalker and is obsessed with bags.
There is a villain they meet in their travels that is a dead ringer for a roided up Paul Giamatti, and the evil king looks suspiciously like the Burger King king.
