This review is from: Battle Beneath the Earth/The Ultimate Warrior (DVD)

If you're into corny sci-fi from the 60's and 70's get it! If you only watch blockbusters and chick flicks, stay away! I love old yul brynner sci-fi movies and max von sydow actually did a great acting job for being a B movie sci-fi flick, so the purchase was good for me. Battle beneath the earth was OK too. The beginning is kind of catchy, "just like ants!". Drink plenty coffea to make it through the middle of the movie. Enjoy! P.S. if you like Yul Brynner Sci-Fi movies, make sure to get "Future World" & "West World"!

5.0 out of 5 stars BATTLE BENEATH EARTH 1968 ON DVD FINALLY !!, November 30, 2008

This review is from: Battle Beneath the Earth/The Ultimate Warrior (DVD)

Exciting double bill of Sci-fi Post Apocalyptic Films provides many thrills.
The superior quality film is BATTLE BENEATH THE EARTH 1968, an admirable
1960s cold war type adventure involving the Chinese, tunnels under the earth, a top star cast of Kerwin Mathews and Viviane Ventura with Ed Bishop.
Director Montgomery Tully directs with visual style and flair.
Secondary film on the disc is the ULTIMATE WARRIOR 1975, a well made sci-fi
futuristic movie with Yul Brynner, Joanna Miles and William Smith.
Picture quality is good, colours are bright and sound is crisp.

This review is from: Battle Beneath the Earth/The Ultimate Warrior (DVD)

An interesting film from the 1970's, part of a string of movies -- such as SOYLENT GREEN, THE OMEGA MAN, DAMNATION ALLEY, A BOY AND HIS DOG,etc. --which deal with civilization after some violent cataclysm. Yul Brynner was no spring chicken when he did this role but performs well. Max Von Sydow as the Baron (originally it was to been called THE BARONEY) delivers as a man struggling to keep the people in his charge from being overcome by the violent forces outside his compound and from extinction. In some ways a precurser to the MAD MAX films. Then there is Big Bill Smith. Has anyone ever played better-- and more -- crazed over the edge psychos than this son of a gun? I think not. In an interview he said that in his death scene, while rats ran over him, one actually crapped in his mouth. Now that's taking one for the team! This was written and directed by Robert Clouse ,who, in the same year , helmed Bruce Lee's ENTER THE DRAGON.

As for BATTLE BENEATH THE EARTH ... a boring film with Kerwin Matthews (7TH VOYAGE OF SINBAD, WEREWOLF IN WASHINGTON D.C.). It seems longer than its actual running time.
