Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Cortechba Overrated

Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

bensonmum2 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.

boocwirm-1 This is what happens when you give a director $100,000 or so and tell him you want a movie in ten days...Some folks just don't appreciate bad films. I do. I've been an extra in a couple of them myself and, believe me, the people who makes these Grade Z pictures (the cast and the crew) aren't fooling around. They work hard at their craft, as hard as the people who make "real" movies, and with the added burden that they know the result is going to be pretty awful. They are basically professionals who have fallen on hard times or semi-professionals hoping to make it to Hollywood proper. When you watch ALIEN OUTLAW pay attention to the scene where the heroine is discussing her new contract with the head of the management agency. It's an interminable scene, with some of the worst dialogue ever written, but the two actresses give it everything they've got. You really have to give them credit for professionalism and effort. That being said, if you think you're going to be treated to something like the Sigourney Weaver ALIEN pictures you're going to be sadly disappointed. ALIEN OUTLAW is a mindless story about marauding extraterrestrials whose idea of attacking the Earth is, essentially, to sneak around the middle of nowhere bush-whacking Appalachian stereotypes and vandalizing parked cars. They make the aliens from PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE look like evil masterminds. They don't even have ray guns or blasters, but try instead to use Western six-shooters they clearly have no idea how to handle, as every second or third shot results in a jam. At which point they toss the weapon down in disgust and run slowly away from danger, no doubt squealing the alien equivalent of "Boy, we're in trouble now!" Earth should be so lucky as to be attacked by these guys. The film has a few good points. The heroine is quite sexy and not a bad actress. Most of the other actors (including several legendary B-Western stars at the end of their careers) at least give it a good effort. And for those viewers who might someday want to make their own picture, it carries a very clear lesson: no matter how small the budget, hire a decent screenwriter before you do anything else.

JoeB131 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.

microx96002 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.
