Half price?

Keanu Reeves has been cast in the remake of Beneath the Planet of the Apes.

@Fred…GSS !
Maybe he was swinging for the laser blast just in front of him. Although I can’t imagine how that could work out well.

Not quite the masked ball she was expecting.
BTW, is a nemesis of evil a nemesis that is evil, or is it something that nemesises evil? I think we should sort that out.

“For Christ sake, girl! We’re running past an evil gauntlet, dodging laser fire, and breathing poison gas. Yet YOU think it’s time to slow down and smoulder at that cheapskate?”
“Ryan is just thrifty. He’s also kinda’ cu-”
“MOVE IT…and pay attention! There’s a stairway ahead.”

“Do you expect me to talk?”
“No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die.”

The sequel to ‘Thank God It’s Friday’ went a bit darker.

It’s a wrap around. There must be a few more applicable tags.

Well…that changes things…
“YOU pay attention! Freaking LUCIFER is at the top of those stairs. Shouldn’t we be going the other way?”
“I am the Nemesis of Evil, and I have a plan.”
“I hope it’s a better than the one about wearing leather in Hell.”

Sooooo… is that Prince Zarkon acting like a Fonzie wannabe, or just someone from his Omega crew? Is Zarkon like Charlie and his Angels? When did Kojak join the dark side (or is he Zarkon under cover?). Am I gonna overthink this again or just Submit Comment already?

That blurb (both front and back) is so breathless and !!! that I feel like it needs an asthma inhaler. And/or it’s caused me to need one.
I guess he’s Zarkon? Though I keep wanting to call him Zardoz or Zarkov. Guess Lin was a big fan of Flash Gordon (before the Queen soundtrack and BRIAN BLESSED) (but not before Flesh Gordon).
Isn’t her skirt going to catch on fire with all that glowing sparky zappy stuff there? If the evil minions are gas-masked, how is Lucifer immune, and how come Prince Zarkon and damsel aren’t affected? Or is Lucifer unable to smell the obvious stench, the slave army wearing the masks to keep it out, and hero and heroine are just out of luck? She does look like she’s struggling to keep her last meal down.
And if Z has an Omega Crew, why is he here advancing on the villain with no crew, no weapons, and encumbered by a damsel who looks to be useless?
@Tag W: Do we have a “cult” tag or something related? Both ISFDB and Wiki say this book’s from 1975.
@Tor: GSS!
@Emster: Telly needed the money after “Kojak” ended.

BTW…Lucifer’s aim is shite.
October 14th, 2022 at 1:40 am
“Do you expect me to surrender, Lucifer?”
“No, Zarkon. I expect you to … dance!”
If Z and his Omega Crew are a knockoff of Doc Savage and _his_ crew, facing the enemy alone would be on form.

Aaand a GSS for Bruce !

I’m with JuanPaul @#1 – $3.00 from “Half Price Books”, when the cover price of $1.50 is in plain view. Or is this one of those “let’s double the price, so that when we sell it half-price, we still don’t lose money” things….

Invisible Death – Zarkon is upgraded to the Ultimate Man and still punching above his weight.

Volcano Ogre – Couldn’t find the wrap around and Zarkon has lost his punch.

I’ll see your Invisible Death, and raise you a Zip Zap Rap.

@Blue: That is truly horrible in both photo and music and especially lyrics. The print placement implies Dave wants to be zapped in the crotch.
October 16th, 2022 at 12:40 am
@GSSxn – God I hope so. Something like Dave should not have the facility to reproduce 😀
October 17th, 2022 at 2:15 am
@The Blue: Couldn’t agree more.
