One of my favorties of all time, truly a bad movie that everyone will enjoy. It is full of amazing dialogue, cheap visual effects, and horrible "action" sequences, yet still manages to have time for an unbelievable (in a bad/good way) story.
My favorite part of this story would have to be that the secrets of time travel can all fit on a few floppy disks and can be accesed via a commodore 64. There is nothing quite as sweet as that.
Matthew Bruch stars as the inventer of the Time Transport. His chin is amazingly huge, and he has a forehead to match, not your average action star. In fact in one scene where he kisses co-star Bonnie Pritchard, his chin entirely engulfs her face, we literally see nothing but chin. That in itself is a good reason to pick up a copy of this movie, which I found at a cheap discount store.
Besides our giant-chinned, huge foreheaded, mullet-sporting star, the cast also features the wondeful Peter Harrington as Matt Paul. This man is so bad, it makes Bruch seem like the God of Acting.
My only wish is that everyone could see this movie. It takes you from the early 90's, to the future (which looks just like the early 90's) back to the 50's (a few rented classic cars makes this possible) then back to the days of the Revolutionary War, all in an hour and a half.

One of the most amazing movies of all time! I have never seen a movie that tried soo hard to be good, only to be utter crap. This movie will surely top the list for the Bad/Good movies for years to come. It is so insanely hilarious because it is so ridiculously bad. Oh! So, awesomely bad! I haven't been so entertained in a long time.
The actors are probably some of the worst that are available, and they are all equally as bad in their own unique ways. I think Lou Ferrigno is a better actor than the warrior Bullrock (Micheal O' Hearn) and he is deaf. Tim, played by Alexander Parker, has acting skill that rivals on Jake Lloyd's stunning performance in "Phantom Menace". Udo, who tries to act wise and mystical ends up looking like a complete fool. Let's just say, I loved every minute of their horrible acting job.
The scripting, is also equally as terrible as the acting in this movie. Every line just sounds completely stupid or out of place, making me love this movie more and more. The direction is horrendous as well, leaving me more and more reasons to love this lovely piece of filmaking.
Great movie, if you and your friends get together and make fun of it the whole time. And here is a clip to look for: in the final fight scene, the girl attacks, and in one shot she is actually played by a man stunt double. HAHA, okay that was hilarious, especially because he looks like a weasel-man. Enjoy this film in which I whole-heartedly recommend. (I only give it one star, and not a half, because I don't want it to appear on my hate list, because I enjoyed making fun of it so much.)

The best flim in the Josh Kirby series. It is not a whole lot better than the rest in the series, but has a slightly better story than the rest of the movies. It is in this movie that we get most of the insight into the character of Azabeth Siege, played by Jennifer Burns. Most of the whole adventure takes place on Azabeth's homeworld, which is under attack by the slaver Dreadnaught.
Okay, so if you were watching closely in all of the rest of the films to Azabeth's recitals of the Codes of Kang, it is here that you will see one of the codes repeat itself with a completely different definition. Where the 17 Code of Kang was "Whosoever taketh another woman's man, must keep close watch on her own" in the first movie, it is now "If you are going to strike, strike, don't talk." The eleventh code repeats itself in a similar manner. It just goes to show you that the makers of the movie weren't paying enough attention to detail during the making of these flims.
The acting in this movie, is sadly just as bad as it always is. This time it seems to work better because we realize that everyone from Azabeth's homeworld is a bad actor, not just Burns herself. But, one of the most annoying things about this movie is how they just pretty much downplay Prism as much as possible. It is like they completely ran out of budget and couldn't afford to work the Prism puppet. So, through much of the movie you will see Prism stuffed in Josh's backpack, so the filmmakers wouldn't have to pay the puppeteers as much.
We see more of Josh's time warrior powers in affect in this movie, and we find out that Josh's abilities allow him to age objects, though it isn't done very well in the movie, mostly due to budget constraints I am sure.
Just an all around bad movie that has charm and a whole lot of good badness. If you have watched the first three movies, don't stop now.

Okay, so this movie is the third in the series and like the rest in the series is not very well done, and is so bad that it is good. It has not really been explained yet why the movies are called Josh Kirby...Time Warrior. Up until now, one might assume that it was called Time Warrior because Josh has journeyed through time, but here we discover the true meaning of a time warrior. In this movie is where we get the first hints at Josh's time warrior powers and good insight into time warriors in general.
Okay so this movie has some really horrible scenes in it. Scenes that you most certainly will want to skip past, as they are so incredibly moronic, it is almost too much to bear. The twenty minute dance sequence, for instance, is one of the worst things that I have ever seen. Imagine this: A bunch of people in bright, horribly made toy costumes dancing with eachother for twenty minutes. That isn't even the worst part about it though, the worst part isn't that they are dancing, no, it is that they don't know how to dance and the choreography is atrocious. Though, while you are watching that scene, it might take away some of the stupidity if you try and find the Lonely Dinosaur, who doesn't have a dance partner.
Okay so what really makes this movie a more enjoyable experience is the sexual innuendos between Josh and Annie, the doll toy. They are just plain out hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing.
Not a good movie, but it is so bad that it really does seem good sometimes. Worth a go if you already saw the first two movies.

The ending of the Josh Kirby saga. It didn't really fit into the rest of the movies as much as I thought it would. It isn't my favorite Josh Kirby movie, but it does have some funny badness in it, so I can take that.
What is really disappointing about this movie is the big confrontation at the end of the movie. It was the weakest thing that I think I have ever witnessed. I mean, even with the poor quality of these movies, it was bad. Why build up the whole series and end it like that?
Flip, so in this movie we see the real truth about what has been happening all throughout the other 5 movies in the series. We also learn a lot about Azabeth's planet.
This movie is really funny if you like bad movies. I enjoy it.

Critics have hailed the Josh Kirby...Time Warrior! series "The greatest creative endeavor of this, or any, century" and "Fun for the whole family!" I myself just simply call it a low-budget thrilling family adventure. Fans of Corbin allred will note that this movie is one of his first movies, and should be bought, if you wish to see young Allred in one of his first starring roles.
Okay, so this movie isn't that great at all, it has some poor cutting, acting, writing and story, but still manages to be a really enjoyable movie for me. Quality no...but the series has an indescribable charm and defininitely has the area of quantity covered, with six feature-length movies all about our young hero Josh Kirby.
The best acting, and the most rememberable performance in the movie both come from Barrie Ingham as Irwin 1138, who actually is a really good actor. Ingham has the wonderful ability to make some of the worst lines in the script sound...almost plausible. Burns as Azabeth Siege, the cunning warrior, is probably one of the worst things to ever happen to the movie industry. I am not hating on Jen Burns, I just think that the writers gave her lines and action that makes her the most pathetic excuse for a warrior that I have ever seen and she comes complete with limited acting skills, like most of the cast. Corbin Allred is actually allright in the role of Josh Kirby, and is one of the better performances of the whole series...but is nothing compared to his co-star Barrie Ingham, though Ingham obviously has more experience..
A lot of the poor cutting comes from the fact that the makers of the movies wanted it to be exactly feature length, in other words, they cut it off at exactly 90 minutes, even though the story hadn't finished itself. The rest of the poor cutting comes from the fact that this movie was not originally the first in the series, in fact the second movie came before this one. At least that is what me and a few of my colleagues have deduced. We think that this movie came second, and with a huge amount of cutting and editing they managed to somehow switch the order. So, watching them with the second coming first, wouldn't work either, because the whole thing is just one big editing nightmare. So, with this messed up plot, one would assume that this movie has a lot of things that don't make sense at all, when in fact, they are just in the wrong order, or the wrong movie.
Other than that, the movie has some of the worst puppet-work that I have ever seen in my entire life. Prism is so annoyingly immobile that it is hard to get into his otherwise lovable character.
Top it all of with some really bad stop-motion dinosaurs, and you have a really messed up movie. But the badness of this movie is definitely not bad, it is in fact some of the best badness to ever be made, and I give props to all who took part in the making of this movie. It is probably going to be one of the top movie on my list of movies that are soo bad that they are good. And it definitely not the worst quality movie to be ever made...I think that one was called "Keeper of Time".

I love this movie. It is the one that scared me as a child, and I still don't know why. It is a warm Halloween classic adventure in true Ernest style. It is my favorite of the Ernest movies.

A magical Ernest adventure. I can't help but calling this one of my favorite Ernest movies. It truly is a warm family movie, complete with all of the Ernest humor that you can handle.

If you like movies that are soo bad that they are good, this is a movie for you. My brother describes it as the best romantic comedy of all time...the catch? You have to supply the comedy. Gave me a good laugh.

One of my favorites in the Ernest movie collection. This one follows Ernest on an adventure through Africa as he is getting chased by bad guys who want to take two giant gems that ernest accidently found and then fashioned into a yo-yo. I think that it isn't really a well made movie, but if you like Ernest like I do, then this is one of the best ones.

A Christian movie about a man going from his time to the future, to see how the world has become wicked. It makes my list of Good/Bad movies because of the horrible acting of D. David Morin, the main character.

A good movie that follows the adventure of Ernest when he gets swiched with a jailbird who looks exactly like him and trouble then ensues. Not one of the bests in the series, but one of the better ones.

PORCINI! That is all I can say. Porcini is my favorite character of all time, no pun intended. Okay, this movie is just as bad as the rest of them, but this time I think they spent a little money on the costumes. The 'Shrooms look pretty good for such a low budget. Too bad nothing else even is remotely as good as the costumes on the 'Shrooms.
Heads up to one of the most annoying performances of all time. Ding, the Bell 'Shroom is probably the most annoying thing to ever be made. Her character is supposedly the son of the 'Shroom they are questing after, but Ding is played by a woman. There is no reason why they couldn't change the script to say Ding was a girl shroom, yet they kept it in. Her character, though, is so annoying it is hard to enjoy yourself in this movie.
One of the main reasons for Josh and pals to journey deeper into the magic cavern is to get Azabeth the cure to her mushroom-induced disease, which just so happens to be the spores from another 'Shroom. One thing that seems ridiculous is that Azabeth in her sickness still has the strength to spout out five different Codes of Kang in this film. So, if you were worried her sickness kept her from speaking of Kangian Code, you will be pleasantly surprised.
Ding is what really makes this movie worse than it could be, not that it could be very good. But, Porcini makes up for the Ding factor, nicely. Well, not that Porcini is a good actor, for some reason I like him. Well, there you have it the badness that is so bad its good, isn't even spoiled by Ding, and Prism is still stuffed in a backpack.

I think this movie is quite popularly believed to be the worst in the entire six movie saga, and is most definitely my least favorite in the series. What I think that it really lacks is the love and care that went into all of the other films, which makes this movie less hard to enjoy. It just seems completely slapped together at the last minute, like they weren't even going to include it, but they ended up doing it right before the movies were released on video. Besides that, the plot is the weakest out of all the movies, and it really doesn't help that the whole first half of Human Pets is taken over by the ending to Dino-Knights. And the end of Dino-Knights on this movie is ended so ubruptly, you will miss it if you blink.
The Human Pets simply seems unfun. I don't have a very good time when I watch it. Yes the acting it just as bad or good as always depending on whether you are Jennifer Burns and Derek Webser (bad) or Barrie Ingham (good).
This movies story really makes more sense as the first movie, as we get a lot of insigts into the character of Azabeth Siege. We see how Josh and Azabeth get to know eachother, making it seem more realistic that Josh "cares a lot about her" in the first Time Warrior movie in which there is no way that the two could have ever bonded in such a way, because their first meeting in Dino Knights is entirly unfriendly.
It really is not such a great installment in the epic movie, it just lacks the badness that was so good in the other movies. This movie is simply so bad that it is almost not good anymore. Though, I do enjoy some of it, most of it seems like a waste of time.
It really is a bad movie, don't think that I am saying anything different, but it just doesn't have as much potential as the other movies in the series to be so bad that they are good. At least worth a go if you are interested to see what happens at the end of Dino Knights.

Oh my heck. This movie is total crap. But, it really is one of those movies that is soo bad that it really starts to get good. The acting is bad, the sets bad, everything bad...but it is worth a good chuckle. I would watch it if you like good/bad movies. It is a keeper.

Nothing about this movie is well done at all. The direction is bad. The scripting bad. The story bad. But it is funny, and it has a heart. You either love it or hate it. It is worth seeing at least once, but in no way is it well made. It made my soo bad that it's good list.

As the last movie in the series, I think that this one loses some of the magnetism that attracted me to the Ernest movies in the first place. So, not my favorite picture as it lacks the wit of the other movies.

One of my least favorite movies about Ernest. I still like it, but I don't think that the charm was all there in this being the first Ernest movie made.
