Yes, if you are lovers of anything cheese, made by the finest Hollywood cows, then you are in for a special treat! Even though this film is pretty bad, in a good way, but its also fairly influential, mainly through my constant viewings of the Austin Powers films, with some of the set design, look, feel and the Fembots seemingly being influenced by this film. Plot doesn't really matter here, something about this bounty hunter capturing a scientist cause he developed a death ray or something like that, but just sit back, relax and watch the Jane Fonda Cheese Factory produce some truly amazing dairy treats! Even though the film reeks, the PQ is actually quite good actually, with the picture offering a nice, fine layer of grain, detailed to a fault (Look at how crummy the sets and effects look in HD) and very pretty to look at. The AQ is surprisingly active with a DTS-HD mono track, filled with some nice special effects, music and dialogue all heard nice and clear. Unfortunately, the only extra is the trailer in HD, though Paramount could have really struck a home run with a commentary, a making-of documentary or retrospective or anything else of note. Still, its totally recommended just for the cheese factor itself, and very cheap to boot.

Blu-ray definitely better than standard DVD. A little campy and corny, but the blu- ray makes it bearable.

One of the camp classics! The blu ray transfer is not bad. The audio could have been remixed from the mono soundtrack though. Unfortunately if you're looking for extras on the disc, you won't find any.
