Alien Outlaw

While the crew of Rifftrax do make this incredibly stupid, ineptly made, boring film watchable, without them, it should simply be used for Land fill. Quite a few people are wondering why Jesse Jameson (haha - get it?) proprietress of the WORLDS GREATEST GUN SHOW, Kari Anderson was never seen as an actress again - that's because she's worked in make up, likely so embarrassed by this movie, she never wanted to be seen on the screen again. Her legs are really the star of this mess where, for no discernible reason, a bunch of aliens (two really, I think) with six guns and winchester rifles show up and start killing people. Then it's Jesse to the day. I have to admit, the fat guy whose always stuffing his face and barely escapes one alien - I really wanted to see him get killed. Supposedly made for 100,000 dollars, I'm wondering how much went into beer and weed. This is really one of the worst movies ever made. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

I call this a perfect case movie because that's how much you'd have to drink to make it bearable. That being said, if you're drunk enough this might be watchable, it really is that bad. Plan 9 From Outer Space is a masterpiece compared to this disaster. Hey, toss me another beer.

A group of three aliens comes to Earth to . . . well, I'm not really sure why they're here. They steal some guns - old style revolvers and rifles - and start shooting people. Oh, and they also beat-up a car for some reason. Our heroine, Jesse Jamison (Kari Anderson), seems to be the only person in the small town the aliens have landed who can do anything about them. She's an expert with a gun herself and it's up to her to save the day.

I would say that Alien Outlaw was trying to cash in on the success of Predator, but it actually came out first. I suppose the aliens are on Earth to do a little hunting as in Predator, but they don't seem to have any weapons of their own. So, like I said earlier, I'm not sure why they're here. You'd think that a civilization capable of interstellar travel would have a better plan than these three seem to have.

Beyond the plot's lack of logic, almost everything else is bad. The special effects are poor, the comedy is weak, and the acting is downright atrocious. The film features two old time Western actors, Sunset Carson and Lash La Rue. Neither brings much to the table other than some unintentional humor. In short, Alien Outlaw is pretty much a disaster.

As bad as it is, there are a couple of things to enjoy. There are a few scenes that actually (most likely by accident) work. For example, the scenes where the aliens come out of the water are effective and nicely filmed. But the main reason to see Alien Outlaw is for lead actress Kari Anderson. It's not that she's much of an actress (this is her only acting credit), but those legs! Anderson's legs are the real star of the Alien Outlaw.

--along comes this one. Some may feel that it was supposed to be funny, but that's majorly debatable. However, check out two interesting reviews here, written by people who were involved in the making of 'Alien Outlaw'--- they give some unique perspective on it. Bottom line, in spite of any fond memories they have of the filming (the crews do work hard, even on films that have idiotic scripts, plots, dialogue, and acting) it's truly one of the most awful movies ever released. It sadly deserves every riff.

What is up with these faux sci-fi films that mostly focus on thick-tongued yokels? The women in this (including the heroine) are used as props to flash their T&A and service unattractive men they'd never touch in real life. SO MUCH TIME is utterly wasted on nothing but dragging out redundant, boring scenes and forcing us to spend time with annoying, unlikable people we'd dread sitting next to on a Greyhound bus. The talent agency woman/office are laughably pretentious. Oh, they book for some of the biggest, classiest events in the country? The tacky, cheap office that looks like a factory break room says otherwise! The Fauxcahontas outfit the put-upon guntrick chick (Jesse) wears is stupid, as is the movie's insistence she bend over in it. The music is ugly. And apparently the plot is something we have no business being curious about. However, though she wasn't a good actor, I liked Jesse and cared about her getting a better agent (I really wasn't given a choice). Also, Lash had an incoherent charm in his role. However, my favorite character was the black gas station attendant. He was very pleasant and behaved naturally. Finally, I appreciated them cheering Jesse on to fight the aliens, even if she did so in a Party City "Pocahontas" costume she apparently lost the skirt to.
