Quest of the Delta Knights
I watched a movie on Mystery Science Theater 3000 the other day: 1993’s Quest of the Delta Knights (see a preview here, if you don’t mind every important plot element being revealed.) It’s currently rated 1.8 out of 10 at IMDB: when it gets 200 more votes it will, if the score stays the same, qualify for their list of Bottom 100 Films, and will come in somewhere between position 7 and 10. A score of 1.8 will tie it with Hobgoblins, and will leave it just slightly higher than Gigli and Manos.
Thing is, I liked it. Not “It’s so bad it’s good.” Not “It was an unintentional comedy that had me cracking up.” Not “It’s great for the cheese factor alone.” I liked it. It was just fine for what it was, an ultra low-budget adventure story filmed with various Renn Faires as backdrops. It starred Emmy-winner David Warner and Golden Globe-winner Olivia Hussey, and they and the young Corbin Allred gave perfectly respectable performances. I’ve saved the episode on the TiVo, as I intend to subject someone to it to gauge another viewer’s reaction. I just don’t think it’s that bad. Anyone else willing to fess up to liking this movie?
