Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster (DVD, 2006)

Also known as "Mars Invades Puerto Rico", this was my fave flick way back when I was a kid (I actually used to draw my own comics of the title character's further adventures & am strongly considering spending the hundred bucks on the action figure set coming out in the fall!), & I still love it to this day (so I'm probably not the right person to give this a truly objective review...).
Still, it's got a disfigured android astronaut on a rampage (he's the HERO!) & bald pointy-eared aliens who land their geodesic dome-shaped aluminum flying saucer in Puerto Rico to kidnap girls in bikinis with their store-bought ray guns, plus lots of great B&W footage from the NASA archives (Ed Wood once said that he would love to make a movie that was all stock footage, & this film comes pretty darn close), so who can ask for more?
Great cast too including character actor James Karen ("Return of the Living Dead", "Poltergeist", etc.) as Frank's creator Dr. Adam Steele &, in a duel role as one of the Martians & as the title clawed & hairy rubber-headed mutant known as Mull, Bruce Glover who is best known today as the father of Crispin but also played one of the gay assassins in the James Bond flick "Diamonds Are Forever".
They use the best print I've seen for this DVD, & all things considered, the sound is pretty good too (love those cool & incredibly obscure rock songs they play throughout the film!).
Only problem with the movie & the one thing that keeps it from getting an "Excellent" rating is the fact that they use that awful mock letterboxing to try to present a full screen print in a widescreen format, & it just doesn't work & is annoying as all heck.
To make up for it though they include a cool little booklet that details the complex & often quite bizarre story on the making of this flick that is almost worth getting this disc for alone.
So if you're a fanatical Frankie freak like me or just want to see how good a bad movie can be, give it a look & prepare to have you mind blown by all its cheap & ghastly glory!
