This movie is so bad, but I couldn't stop watching! I was entranced by the bad acting, and marveled at how so many good actors could be fooled into thinking it a good idea to do this movie. I feel bad for Ray Liotta and Burt Reynolds in particular. Ray Liotta looked like a cross between a dark wizard and a fully pompadoured gangster Liberace. And Burt Reynolds as the king with that southern accent was hilarious. And while we're talking about accents, could we throw in a few more? Everyone just talked in their normal voice, except for Matthew Lillard, who put one on, and none of them matched. Dee-lightful. I really can't stand how Claire Forlani pouts her lips and squints her eyes all the time, and I can't get past that to really judge whether she's a good actress or not. Her face just bugs me. And the guy that played her brother, in the scene where they where in the wagon cage, was another delight for me... did you notice that he was really cross-eyed? It was a really dramatic moment, but I have no idea what happened because I sat there snickering to myself through that whole part. The best thing about this movie is that these are really good actors. Almost all of them have been in other movies that I really love. The fact that they all got together and made this little gem is amazing. The list of awful/wonderful moments in this movie could go on and on. If you sometimes enjoy sitting around with your friends Mystery Science Theatre 3000-ing movies, you'll love this beautiful piece of crap!
