The Final Sacrifice (1990 Video)
1/10
The worst film ever to come out of Canada? Maybe. (Some spoilers if you actually want to watch this)
31 August 2002
Warning: Spoilers
Where to begin? First, you have this cult of masked wrestlers from the old Stampede territory, led by a verrrrry slllllow talllllking leader killing a man, presumably as a sacrifice, searching for some underground city somewhere in Southwestern Alberta. Seven years later, the father's son, a skinny geek who couldn't even get a date from a blow-up girl, rummages through the attic and finds a map and other assorted notes from trying to find this city. Well, the masked Stampeders invade the kid's house, and he averts the cult on his ten-speed bike (while the bad guys are driving a PICKUP TRUCK?!). He soon meets up with a drunken, mullet wearing guy named ZAP ROWSDOWER! They outrun the Stampede cult despite being in a truck that seems to be one mile away from complete and utter collapse. Soon after, the truck conveniently dies near the site of the underground city. Our two heroes end up in the ramshackle shack of a Yosemite Sam-sounding hermit who used to be the partner of the geek's father. We also find out that Rowsodwer was one of the guys that killed the geek's father, and he has the tattoo on his arm that our cult masked men from Stampede also have. Anyway, there's the big climax scene at the end where the kid and Rowsdower kill the leader (with a bullet to the ass, I guess), the Stampede wrestlers head back to the Corral, Rowsdower's tattoo disappears after he doused some whiskey on it, and the underground city rumbles back up to the surface. But before we can see what's in the city, we're suddenly looking at Rowsdower's truck driving back home (or wherever it was going). End of movie.

A word of advice: Don't ever watch this movie, not even the MST3K version. No matter how cool somebody might think you'd be for viewing it. It's just not worth the two hours you'll lose watching this atrocity on film. Take up needlepoint instead.

PS: If there's any old Stampede Wrestling fans reading this and think I was making fun of their territory with the masked cult guys, I wasn't. They just looked like a bunch of masked wrestlers in tank tops.
