Potatoes are what we eat!

The action is nonexistent, the "Warriors From Hell" never quite get their act together, and the hero is an unlikable prig, but this film does contain a bewitching performance by "Potato Loving Woman" (Claudia Inchaurregui).

Claudia "Potato Loving Woman" Inchaurregui, despite her small role, imbues the film with a sense of heart. Buried beneath inches of grime and muck, wearing a burlap sack and sporting hair that would shame even Dee Snider, "Potato Loving Woman" has a sense of quiet dignity altogether missing in the other female characters in the film, especially the frigid princess played by the Kirstie Ally-eqsue Carla Herd.

So, Claudia Inchaurregui, I don't know where you are now, but know that my life was forever changed when I heard you utter those magical words... "Potatos are what WE eat".
