Abraxas: Guardian of the Universe Movie Review

Cheapo Canadian production casts World Wrestling Federation vet Jess “The Body” Ventura in the stiff title role, a space cop on Earth to foil his evil ex-partner Secundas, who's inseminated a virgin with the “anti-life equation” that could destroy the universe. There's enough galactic gobbledygook to match Robot Monster, but a few camp touches (like James Belushi's cameo) indicate nobody should take it too seriously. Minimal f/x or gore; it's mainly two burly, gravel-voiced bruisers pummeling each other. Also available in an edited PG-13 version.
