Super bad Roger Corman female martial arts mayhem

Really a zero-star film, but I got 2 1/2 stars worth of entertainment from this cheesy 80s fantasy flick featuring PHANTASM's Angus Grimm (The Tall Man) as a martial arts cult leader whose group is infiltrated by three ladies looking to take him down. THE LOST EMPIRE is the directorial debut of Jim Wynorski, who made a few entertaining low-budget genre movies like CHOPPING MALL and BIG BAD MAMA II, but most of his output is cheesy movies with lots of ladies. THE LOST EMPIRE definitely foreshadows his later career of low-quality sexploitation films. It is basically the Roger Carmen version of a Charlie's Angels movie set at a gladiator school. Wynorski also wrote the screenplay, which has some Ed Wood-quality of dialogue, and just like Edward D. Wood Jr. Movies, this film was so bad, I found myself wildly entertained by it. Don't buy or rent this one, but see if you can catch it on TV or streaming somewhere if you're in the mood for something hilariously bad, you'll have a pretty good time.
