Unfortunately, the biography portion of the DVD neglects to illuminate Ventura's earlier career, when he ably presided over a much smaller jurisdiction than Abraxas. As a pro wrestler, Ventura typically clocked in for work in a pink boa, wraparound shades, and kicky short-shorts--a much livelier uniform than that issued to guardians of the universe. --Stephan Magcosta

Customer Reviews of Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe
Jesse Ventura goodness as many reviewers around the world have said, "Abraxas? no never heard of it".. the height of bad movies, you'll find yourself laughing at good ol' governor of minesottas bad acting, nakedness and so on, the Jazzy soundtrack played to death also helps make this movie a hilarious good time, during one of the biggest fights in the film, all you can hear is soft jazz playing in the backround, the story loosely revolves around Abraxas, a guy sent out to kill his ex partner who's trying to become the supreme being, they brawl, break stuff, Abraxas falls in love.. etc.. and on and on.. go rent it right away, invite some friends over, but I don't suggest buying it.
Jesse "The Space Cop" Ventura
As a Minnesotan, I take a strange pride that my state elected Jesse Ventura, former pro wrestler, and grade Z movie actor as Governor. Of, course, Jesse has been in several films, most notably "Predator" with Arnold Schwarzenegger (possible future governor of California...hmmm...is there a trend here?)
In Abraxas: Guardian of the Universe, Jesse is an intergalactic space cop of some variety who tries to track down the evil Secundus, played by Sven-Ole Thorsen who has had a space child with knowledge of an important equation that can destroy the universe.
This movie is cheesy and never too dark (even though the director was trying to make it dark) yet it still manages to be entertaining in a MST3K sort of manner. Many great scenes abound, including watching Secundus eat breakfast (he orders the entire menu), watching Jesse's wrist radio thing interrupt romance, and my personal favorite: watching school principal Jim Belushi attempt to look serious in an embarrassingly badly written counseling session.
This is a great little cheap movie to watch when you just want to relax and have some fun with friends. Sure! You betcha!
What's with all the whiners?
Sure the movie is low budget, kind of forgettable and bad. That doesn't make it a shoe-in for a zero rating, though folks. We've got the immortal line in this flick: "My box has VD." And let's not forget the slow-motion fighting to Kenny G inspired music, with random nonsensical explosions happening in the background...or the woman who has a baby with all her clothes on! There's PLENTY of entertainment to be gleaned from this movie, you cinema snobs just don't know where to look for it. All in all, I recommend it to people who want to see unintentional humor, and who don't expect every movie to be made with a 100 million plus budget. Jeez...if you wanna see a true blue zero rating, rent Sextette, and leave this modest effort alone!
