Stan Lee's Harpies..

I love bad movies. I revel in terrible pieces of cinema.

And I turned this one off after 15 minutes. Wow, it was emotionally painful for me to watch this thing. When you work you way down to a D-List Baldwin brother for a star, you might as well give up.

Every time I worry whether I'll be able to sell one of my spec sci-fi screenplays, I'm reminded that far worse things have been sold to the Sci-Fi Network. Perhaps there's hope for me yet!
Nah. Abandon hope. A perfectly good script still has to survive producers, directors, marketers, financers, script doctors, tempormental actors, inadequet budgets... it's amazing that any good movies ever get created at all ;)

(I don't think I've ever watched a single Sci-Fi channel "Saturday Night Monster Movie" in it's entirety. Usually 10 minutes here or there as I flip channels convinces me I'm not missing anything.)

What he said. I'm a lover of bad cinema, and I could not sit through this film.

It seems like about half the movies on Sci-Fi now feature Stephen Baldwin. Harpies, Earthstorm, Dark Storm, some other storm... they are all miserable.

True! I watched this and thought "Geez, I stopped pursuing acting because.....?"
 

Sci-Fi knew it was bad though. Sci-Fi normally themes its Saturday movies all day to coincide with the new prime time movie (like: Mosquitoes, Bigfoot, Aliens, Snakes, etc.). This time however the Saturday movies were all of the worst ones out there such as Man with the Screaming Brain, Allien Apocolypse, and the infamous Mansquitto. The theme this Saturday seemed to be "The worst movies we have ever made" capped by the prime time clumnination of Stan Lee's Harpies.
 


Wow that was bad. It seemed like the flew the Baldwin to Bulgaria, stuck a sign in the town square that said "If you speak English, come star in our movie." and anyone who showed up got a major role. And, if they didn't speak English but were female and okay looking, they got wings stuck on them and called a Harpie.

And I wish that were an exaggeration. I actually do suspect that is what happened.

It is not just Stephen Baldwin but also Dean Cain and Johnathan Rehys Davies. I think what happens is they find a actor on hard times and offer them a one month contract. Durring that month the actor has to star in as many movies as sci-fi can film in that time period. :)

From the looks of production, acting, and directing, I'd say they are probably filmed back to back with no sleep as well.
