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.

robertstjames This one is beyond awful. The aliens look like guys dressed in frog suits with cheap Halloween masks and seem to have no purpose on earth but to twirl six guns (for real, that old fashioned swing the gun by its trigger guard thing), bust out windshields on cars (interstellar vandalism...huh?) and from time to time, shoot people for no particular reason (do these guys not have laser guns or any weapons other than what they find laying around?) Not to worry, tho...awful acting and cornball plot fill in the very large blank spaces between action scenes. You'll be so desperate for something to happen that you'll find yourself cheering the car destroying scene. And then turning the movie off because not even Rifftrax makes this steaming pile worth finishing.

Nenko Genov 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.

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.
