Subject: We are both outside the law.
I was looking for zombie films and came across this. I couldn't resist the title. A film from a director that gave us such classics as Billy the Kid versus Dracula and Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla. I can't wait to see those.

The sound on my copy was terrible. Lips moved out of conjunction with words, and sometimes it sounded as if a woman was speaking when it was a man. When the sound got better, it was out of sync with the picture by several minutes. Terrible, but I suffered through it for art's sake.

Jesse's (John Lupton) friend (Cal Bolder) gets shot and he is searching for a doctor, while running from the Marshall (Jim Davis). Guess who he finds? What it's the granddaughter of Dr. Frankenstein (Narda Onyx).

Also stars Cuban-born spitfire Estelita Rodriguez as Juanita. She dies mysteriously a month before the film was released. She and Maria Frankenstein are both after Jesse's affections.

After sending Jesse on a wild goose chase, Maria kills his friend and turns him into Igor (the zombie part).

A sad ending for a truly horribly funny picture.

The audio quality was very bad on the version I donwloaded. As for the story: Oh my god!

Subject: So bad, it's terrible
This is, without a doubt, the absolute worst movie I've ever seen. It's so unbelievably bad I wish I could get a refund on the minutes of my life I squandered watching it. Zero stars for this turd on celluloid is actually overkill. If this were a just universe, it would give stars back!

There are so many genre crossovers that it seems like you've fallen asleep during one movie and awakened in another: the arrogant cowboy, monsters, eastern European mad scientists hiding out in Arizona. Couple this with a Steinbeck-like backdrop of the purity of peasants and a George-and-Lennie dynamic and the whole thing seems like a fever-dream.

Fun for its over-the-top bits. Frankenstein's daughter has the requisite bad accent and crazy look in her eyes. The "science" is pretty funny, even for one who knows almost nothing about science. One wonders why Jesse James doesn't kill the female romantic lead. It's anyone's guess. Ridiculous plot. Cheesy acting. Silly, fairly amusing camp.

I remember seeing movies with titles like this one has when I was a kid. They were were usually comedies and terrible, so I wasn't expecting much. However, this is a well written classic western tale with a twist. It's coherent with believable dialog, which is saying a lot. Can't say I think much of the directing or acting. It's a low budget production. The campy laboratory scenes are a hoot, but as a scientist I find all laboratory scenes in monster movies funny. Still, this movie is much better than Lady Frankenstein.

Remnants of the James gang, Jesse James and Hank Tracy, make their way to the southwest, probably Texas, to meet up with remnants of the hole in the wall gang to rob a stagecoach carrying $100,000. *cough* They are double crossed and ambushed, but Jesse and a wounded Hank get away and seek a doctor. A helpful young woman leads them to the home of Dr. Frankenstein's grandchildren where craziness ensues.

Jesse plays the antihero and peacefully surrenders to the local marshal at the end.

I downloaded the mpeg1 file. Video and audio are fine.
