That was an excellent one.

Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

I'm really surprised this film still exists. I'm guessing someone bought the rights a garage sale and put it on DVD.The plot is that a trio of aliens land their spaceships somewhere in North Carolina, and for some inexplicable reason, go on a killing and rape rampage after finding a trailer load of guns belonging to carnival gunslinging gal. Amazingly, the aliens are not only able to easily master human weapons, but riding horses as well, because apparently there are equestrian events on Zeta Reticuli B.Well, the gunslinging gal wears a dress with a hemline that barely covers her buttocks, no doubt to detract from the fact she was flat-chested and had misaligned teeth. (A professional actress- NOT!) After an encounter with the aliens where she barely avoids being sexually assaulted, there is a big showdown at the end where she kills all three aliens, who apparently went hunting on Earth with exploding backpacks.E.T. this ain't, but you suspect that the reason they got backers is that you could get backers for anything with the word alien in the title. In some ways, the plot is like Predator. Except now Predator takes on a new luster compared to this.Another note- There is a bit of nudity in this film, making it a drive-in classic. (You never see much nudity in today's films, thanks to the prudes at the MPAA.) I think it shows we've gotten more reserved on that since the 1980's, not less.

Alien Outlaw, described as sci-fi/western, and unlike a regular B-movies, which usually get ratings below 4,5 this one has 6 something... Worth watching I thought. I was wrong. For 20 minutes I tried really hard to like this film. But I just couldn't force myself to see the rest of this uber boring crap without skipping and fast forward. I love B-movies but this is just boring 90 minutes. Dull uninteresting dialogs linking scene after scene after scene where just NOTHING happens, cause they are NOT showing the Alien Outlaw, which is just a guy with black gloves, some jacket with stuff attached to it to make it look "alien" and a bad mask on his head. OK, since you have already made this suit and it won't cost you more if you show it more, right?! So why do I have to wait for half an hour to get a peak on this so called Alien Outlaw?! No distant planets, no outer space, no laser blasters, no nothing. Just a very very bad UFO shot at the beginning of the movie, and then another shot where the UFO just GOES DOWN behind some trees and you hear a crash... Just like that. Why the hell the stupid flying saucer broke down and crashed you will never know. That's about the sci-fi, now about the western part. By western they mean that they have some horse scenes and some 6-guns. Some bullets shot but there is nothing that is even remotely close to a decent gunfight let alone a classic wild west showdown. NO WILD WEST here guys! They have some old cowboy stars, so I guess the movie is interesting for their fans, but I've never even heard their names since the credits of "Alien Outlaw". I guess they were popular in USA during the 40s and I'm sure they still have fans, so maybe for them this movie will be a curious one, but I'm quite sure they will be disappointed too, if not ashamed to see their childhood heroes in such a bad excuse for a movie.

Where else would you get a mix of aliens wielding .44 Magnums and old cowboy stars coming to the rescue? You owe it to yourself to see what kind of fun can be produced on a shoestring. Phil Smoot rocks! Check out "The Dark Power" for more proof... He really knows how to dish up camp with his over-the-top directorial style. This was Sunset Carson's, Wild Bill Cody's and Lash LaRue's last film before their deaths. They may or may not have been proud of that fact, but at least it gave another generation a bit of insight into the black-and-white "B" Western genre. A bit of trivia, this movie was filmed in and around the Glade Valley School in Sparta, NC. Sparta is the county seat of Alleghany County, the home of more Christmas tree farms than any other county in the country.

This sci-fi/comedy/western could've been a lot more entertaining with some expert editing, the performances by a cast of unknowns leave a lot to be desired also. Plot lines that lead no where, and a plodding story line make the 90 minutes seem like 3 hours. But if you like cheesy grade z action, with a tiny bit of gratuitous T&A thrown in you might want to lose 90 minutes you'll never get back. The entertainment I got from this shoe string budgeted flick was in watching the beautiful, almost scantily clad Kari Anderson (this was her only movie appearance??), and the chance to see two old (fairly well preserved) cowboy stars from the 40's Sunset Carson and Lash LaRue. An extra bonus for cowboy fans is the interview (more of a informal reminiscence for the old days of the B western) between Sunset and Lash.
