Synopsis

In the peaceful aftermath of the Nozsa wars, the charismatic heroes known as "The White Knights" have changed career paths to becoming music making rockstars. J.J., Dave, Champ and Apple have formed a rock band called, "The White Nuts". Their music career would soon be interrupted by a new threat of colonial settlers. Apple is kidnapped by the sadistic ODAMA Clan - a family of ruthless killers. Located in a heavily-fortified mountain retreat, J.J. and company attempt a rescue mission with their laser weapon Zillion. But the former Knights only have a limited supply of Zillium for the Zillion guns. A mysterious stranger named Rick turns out to be an old lover of Apple.

No one else who reviewed this had seen the actual series, and most of them wondered if that would help appreciate this more. I just watched it after seeing the whole series, and it really doesn’t. This is an alternate universe which uses some character designs and names from the show. You might think from the first scene that the white nuts retired from fighting aliens after the war and became a band. These are just a band who never had the experiences in the original show.

I haven't seen the show this is based off of, so I didn't know anything about the characters. That may have actually made watching this funnier, though.

Anyway, they kidnapped the main female character, Apple, in order to marry her off ...

So I gave this one a low rating. This is one hardly anyone knows exists and perhaps I missed a lot since I never saw the series this is supposed to be based on, however it is hilarious. It's not hilarious because it's a great comedy but rather because it's so bad that it's good. It's a cheese fest that my friends and had a blast putting our own live improvised version of rifftrax. They try to do too much in forty five minutes and it shows. This is precisely why it's funny. It shows that cheese fests were not unique to the U.S. during ...
