When asked about this, Jonathan Lawrence commented: "Not really sure when the corn-row thing got approved. The wigs they tried were awful. They looked like reject, trailer-trash Barbies. Some discussion went into using [the actresses'] real hair and the last I heard that was what they were going to do, then all of a sudden the actresses came to a costume fitting and I was told the rubber headpieces were the only solution…"

This thing looks like a masterpiece

Interesting. While you're waiting on that you can always check out Malaysia's disastrous answer to THE LORD OF THE RINGS:

Darn! But I can't help but agree, especially about "Vikingdom!" Two of my favorite bits from the film.

(1st) How the women are hardier than the men. At least, they need fewer clothes when fighting in the snow. LOL!

(2nd) How they use "Middle Kingdom" instead of "Middle Earth." You don't want anyone to get the idea that this was in anyway inspired by a certain series of novels written by Tolkien. LOL!

Historically, China is known as the 'Middle Kingdom'.  But I somehow doubt that this was their influence for that movie...

Yes, thank-you for that reminder that China was once known as the Middle Kingdom. Something I had once knew, but had forgotten, when I 1st posted my comment. And I agree, that China was once known as the Middle Kingdom was probably not upper most in the filmmakers' minds, when they came up with that term.

Some of the design work is top notch, and it's amazing how many problems good lighting can solve, but it does look amazingly ill conceived.  I don't understand how this is China's answer to Avatar - did Xi Jinping commission it in a fit of nationalist furor?  At any rate, at least this one has real boobs.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
