I finally found the sequel to Gor... Hooray?

Tarl Cabot is still a professor of history and he still has that ancient ring that once teleported him to the mystical land of Gor. One night while enjoying a drink at the bar his ring starts vibrating, and he and his goofy friend Watney are whisked away to the desert planet of Gor! Cabot's glad to be back, and besides a little fight with some local barbarians the townsfolk all greet him warmly, excited to have their hero return to them. He reunites with his love, Talena, and the king throws a celebration of dance, drinks and body massages.


Meanwhile, we see the High Priest Xenos (Palance) is secretly plotting with Queen Lara to take control of the kingdom. They're not too happy to hear that Cabot has returned, so they frame him for the murder of the king! Watney is seduced by Lara's power and betrays Cabot, so our hero escapes into the wild desert with only his little friend Hup at his side.



Cabot and Hup wander through the sand, sleep in a cave, and then they wander through the sand some more. Lara and Xenos continue plotting their evil ways as they take over the kingdom, but troubles brewing between them as they both strive for control.
Let's see what Cabot is up to... Yup, still wandering through the sand... Eventually he gets captured by a bounty hunter and thrown in the castle's dungeon. Now that he's in chains how will Tarl Cabot ever save the kingdom, let alone see Earth again!?

This is a really terrible movie, but I was quite entertained by it. The story is basically just as sloppy and unimaginative as the first movie, yet somehow I found many more laughs here. All of the acting is gloriously bad except Palance, he looks annoyed in every scene and is definitely just here to collect a paycheck. Although the awkward sword fights and cardboard sets are acceptable enough for a B movie, there's plenty of no-budget clumsiness on display that make it's easy to be amused by this mindless adventure.

Internet review:
"Potentially good for getting through a hangover." - Grisbeck

Should I watch it?
It's not the worst thing, but the MST3K version might be more fun.

Where can I find it?
