I just added to my collection the newly-released DVD of this hilariously AWFUL trash classic. (IMDB list the following alternate titles for this movie):
* Duel of the Space Monsters (UK)
* Frankenstein Meets the Space Men
* Mars Attacks Puerto Rico
* Mars Invades Puerto Rico
* Operation San Juan
An android astronaut named Frank becomes "Frankenstein" when his face is partially melted by an alien. The leaders of the alien invaders are Princess Marcuzan (who is dressed like an Egyptian princess), and Dr. Nadir (a bald guy with pointy ears who keeps saying, "And now, maximum power!") The aliens' master plan is to kidnap earth women (often wearing bikinis) and use them for "breeding stock."
The hero is a young James Karen (the gray-haired warehouse guy from RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD). One of the aliens (also bald, with pointed ears) is played by character actor Bruce Glover (who was one of the gay hit men in DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER)!
The acting, sets, and dialogue are SUPER bad, but the WORST thing about this movie is the make-up on the bald heads and pointy ears. Every time they show a close-up of the aliens, you can clearly see where the real skin ends and the make-up begins. It looks like lumpy papier-mache or something.
This movie gets a 10 on the "stink-o-meter." Pure entertainment!
