Anyone seen this film.   A must for anyone with a taste for bad movies.

Most pathetic special effects I've ever seen.

Obviously you need to watch more movies if those are the most pathetic special effects you have ever seen.

I caught this one on HBO a few times back in the 80's, but without the 3D of course. I'd like to see it again.

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.

Menard,

Well, I suppose there  is probably worse. I just remember a supposedly enchanted key floating around on clearly visable wires :bouncegiggle:

It also had some of the worst acting I've ever seen.

As for the 3D, it's just makes it worse with all the exaggerated movements the actors make - like "handing" an object to another character right into the camera!  :bouncegiggle:

This one is pretty bad.
I've seen it several times and actually managed to find it on VHS at a local mom & pop video store years ago.  I wish I would've bought it because that shop went out of business and the only copies I can find on eBay are from England in the PAL format.

Not only are strings visible on that flying key, but strings & wires are visible on a number of other objects as well.
And it's in fabulous Wonder-Vision 3-D!

This one definitely does not stand up to their earlier, and trend setting, effort Comin' At Ya in 3d. As many others tried to cash in on the resurgence of interest in 3D movies that set off, Anthony/Quintano/Lupo tried to cash in themselves with Treasure of the Four Crowns, and, just like most of the others who followed Comin' At Ya, they proceeded to kill any remaining interest in 3D.

I have not seen this all the way through; falling asleep while watching a movie has that effect. Tony Anthony was quite literally a cardboard stand-up in this movie; though his steeliness worked well for a western, it does not work for an action-adventure movie.

Not by any means a good movie, but far from the worst too. It kind of sits somewhere in the middle, which is pretty much dull.

I was fortunate (unfortunate?) enough to see this in the theaters in 3-D when I was a teenager...I recall liking it at the time thinking it was fun...I had no taste in movies back then I guess and I will admit, I was easily entertained then.

I have this flick on DVD as well....Ok I gotta ask.
Has anyone who has seen this noticed
The Dirty Camera Lenses?
What  the heck was up with that?
Gotta admit tho... I kinda like this movie.
And when he shall die
Take him and cut him into little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun.

I still need to watch this, I've had it for a year when I happened to win it on a VHS ebay lot.

Yes, when I made it my duty to try to see every 3-D film released to theaters. I actually liked the non-3-D parts of the film better than the parts of the film in 3-D.
