CRITICAL COMMENTS

"While Fantasy Mission Force can definately be classed as a "bad movie", the sheer entertainment value is high due to the insane antics in hand. Seemingly made with little regard for logic or reason, this exercise in the absurd is a must for lovers of the weird." -- Grim Reaper's Movie Guide
