The new cable set up I have has a section with over 2,000 free movies. And, wouldn't you know it, I am like some cinemasochistic divining rod and immediately found the worst one. I speak of Cannon's Journey to the Center of the Earth (1988). Four kids and a dog explore a cave in Hawaii and fall into the center of the earth where they eventually discover Atlantis City. Good lord! Perhaps the most interesting thing about the film is the backstory on it. Apparently Cannon fired director Rusty Lemorande early in the shoot and brought in Albert Pyun to finish it up. In turn, Pyun decided to say, "Screw it, I'm making a sequel to my film Alien From L. A. instead!" It results in a very odd film. For the first 40 minutes the main characters just wander the caves until they find the city and then defeat the tyrannical leader by blasting rock music. It all wraps up at the 70 minute mark and then has 10 minutes of credits, including a rock vignette that looks like it should have actor names on it, but doesn't. The whole thing is just strange. See those trolls at the top of the poster? They are only in a dream sequence, which looks like it was culled from the original shoot. Even odder is comedian Emo Phillips appears in those bits with no dialogue. See the "cute" little monster at the bottom of the poster? Not even in the film. And although Pyun - who must have overdosed watching Brazil (1985) at the theater - made this a sequel to his earlier film, he doesn't bother to have Kathy Ireland back as Wanda Saknussemm, even though she is a major part (he does insert a live action shot of her from what looks like a press interview at the end). Gotta admire Pyun for having the guts to do what he wants...and then take back that admiration because of the final product.
