I've never watched Mystery Science theatre so can't comment on that, however, I have watched Ator the Fighting Eagle and is was so much better than this. What were you thinking, Joe D'Amato?This time, William Berger is some scientist who has invented something and David Brandon of Stagefright wants the secret, but Berger's daughter has done a runner with it so it's up to the world's best Brian May enthusiast to sort things out. Only this time he don't have a bear sidekick, or does anything cool, or anything, because this film is talk, talk, talk, and not much else. Where's the giant spiders, zombies, and Laura Gesmer of the first film Joe?This time, Ator ruminates on things, uses science, and talks with folks as we look at how much time has passed and wonder when the film is going to get good. Luckily it does, but you don't get anything particularly outlandish here except for Miles in a handglider. But still, not so good.

Another in the long line of Conan wannabes that tired to cash in on that movie's success, this Italian monstrosity is about as bad as they came. You know it's a bad sign when your heroes fight invisible enemies because the movie was made so cheaply there wasn't money for either adequate special effects or to hire real people. I won't even bother going into the plot as I defy anyone to follow it and make sense of the storyline. Maybe it's the television cut I watched, but I can't imagine any version being that much better. It all seems so random to me. Evil sorcerers, cavemen, giant snakes, medieval castles, grenades, and hang gliding – none of it fits together. It's as if director Joe D'Amato had an epileptic fit while making Cave Dwellers (or any of the other half-dozen names the movie goes by) and threw everything he could think of onto the screen regardless of how unrelated it was or how it fit into the film's already puzzling plot. The acting is sufficiently bad. Miles O'Keeffe could never act his way out of a wet paper bag and he proves that once again in this movie. The rest of the cast is equally atrocious. Then there's the . . . well, you get the idea. It's late, I'm tired, and I've already wasted more than enough time writing about this piece of garbage. Take my word for it – avoid Cave Dwellers (or whatever you want to call it) at all costs.

While Manos is the Worst movie ever, sorry for those of who you vote for Monster a go go, it is. But clearly number four has to be Ator2 Cave Dwellers. This movie is beyond boring and border lines on the retarded. It is not even funny in a campy way, just flat out dull. its great for a cure for insomnia but, not much else. This movie also can't figure out what age it is suppose to take place, ice age? age mogols? Also the wise man in the movie rambles on for ever about nothing only to add to the dullness of this example of how not to make a movie. He also looks depressed in his role in the movie. This movie deserves a higher rating than 20 vote how about # four? Also, for dull movie lovers check out Water World.

When is this thing supposed to be taking place, anyway? It appears to be a Middle Ages movie, but then you have the cave dwellers, who are Neanderthal-type cavemen! Why did they name the mute Chinese guy "Thong"? Apparently the long, convoluted flashbacks at the beginning of the movie are a recap of the previous Ator movie and make more sense if you've seen that one. But seriously, who wants to watch another dog of a movie like this one? Like many other MST3K movies, this movie fails miserably on all the right levels, which adds up to great humor. Here's just a summary of the glaringly bad parts: Ator- a very muscular, yet not threatening hero, The Really Dull Old Guy- he's supposed to be the "wise old man", but he just comes across as half asleep, and last but not least That Evil John Saxon-Type Guy- supposed to be the bad guy who threatens everybody, but just comes across as ultra-femme. Need I say more?
