Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

jacobjohntaylor1 This movie is so underrated. It not a 2.9. There are not a lot of movies scarier then The Exorcist. And this is one of them. This is an underrated horror classic. It is a sequel to Frankenstein and It is great. This is one of the scariest movies of all time. This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. Do not lesson to people who hate this movie it is a true horror classic. This movie is a must see. If this movie does not scary you no movie will. John Lupton was a great actor. This movie better then Frankenstein (1931). And that is not easy to do. Frankenstein (1931) is very scary. And this is scarier. The is a great movie.

ironhorse_iv They should have never met. It's weird that a western/horror hybrid film was made in with these two really different character figures. They seem so out there. Both are like in the far side of spectrum, from each other. It's like combining the historical figure, Billy the Kid to fight Bram Stoker's Dracula. Oh wait, they did! This film was originally released as part of a double feature with Billy the Kid vs. Dracula in 1966. Both films were shot in eight days at Corriganville Movie Ranch and at Paramount Studios in mid-1965; both were the final feature films of director William Beaudine known for one-shot takes. The movie was indeed, poorly made and low budget, with tons of day for night shots, awful matte painting, goofy-looking electronic devices props and bad special effects. At least, this movie made the fictionalized version of the real-life Jesse James (John Lupton) more into an interesting outlaw, than the bland 'good guy' cowboy, like the previous film, did to Billy the Kid. Even the acting was a little better than the previous film. The movie goes like this, after a botched holdup with the Wild Bunch, Jesse James and his meathead, friend, Hank Tracy (Cal Bolder) is seeking medical assistance. They find themselves, camping in a refugee camp where they heard from one of the camper, Juanita Lopez (Estelita Rodriguez) that Dr. Maria Frankenstein (Narda Onyx), can help Hank with his deadly wound. Instead of treating the wound, Maria turns Hank into "Igor," the Frankenstein monster, a reanimation corpse with a synthetic artificial brain for evil. Can Jesse James stop Dr. Frankenstein and her monster or will the mad doctor win out in the end? Watch it to find out! Without spoiling too much of the movie. The one thing is how it ruin both Frankenstein and the Western folklore. It was very odd that they call, Butch Cassidy as Butch Curry. I know the movie is fiction, but I don't get why they kept Jesse James's name in, but change Butch Cassidy? That's a bit odd. The same with Maria. When Jesse James does meets Maria, it's not Dr. Frankenstein's daughter like the title, says. Instead, it's Victor Frankenstein's granddaughter. I really don't get, how the people that title this movie can be that forgetful of who Maria is supposed to be. Maria mention that she's Victor's granddaughter throughout the film. Seems a pretty obvious error. The film is nowhere near the levels of agile as Mary Shelly's novel. There is no deep themes of life, consciousness and the will to existence. Don't expect, the creature to question, why he was made or how playing God might be wrong, or right. The movie is pretty dimwit like Hank's mind. It doesn't even have that semi-smart corny cheesy charm that most of the various film adaptations of Mary Shelley's novel has. I was just hoping it was somewhat near the Universal's Frankenstein films of 1930s. I give the movie, some credit, I like how they help introduce the name 'Igor' to the horror genre. While, it might seem odd that the monster was named 'Igor' in this film; since most people, known Igor as the Gothic villain hunchback assistant. Let's remember that Igor hasn't yet, been establish as a stock character. It wasn't until the 1974's film comedy, Young Frankenstein that Igor became a major figure in the Gothic horror lore. Although Dr. Frankenstein had a hunchback assistant in the 1931 film Frankenstein, his name was Fritz. This might be the one of the first Frankenstein's film is honestly have a character named Igor. I dislike that most of the film run-time, in this, wasn't even Frankenstein related. It's like the movie was being made into a plain western, and then at the last second, they add some Frankenstein things to spice it up. It takes nearly forever in pacing for Jesse James to honestly meet Dr. Frankenstein. Lots of tedious and incredibly boring material that was stretched out to nearly an hour and a half of run time. Another fault in the film is the force love angle between Juanita, Jesse, and Maria. None of them, have any chemistry with each other. The music and sound are laughable. I found the Dumb-dumb-Dumb, very funny. The picture and audio on this Alpha Video DVD release looks decent, enough, seeing that the film is in the public domain. Overall: The movie isn't as bad, as I have anticipated. I knew, coming in that it was going to be B film, so it kinda didn't have much high hopes. It did exceeded my minimal low expectations. It was indeed schlocky and campy fun.

Zeegrade What do you want on your tombstone? They should have buried this movie with poor Hank and spare the world of this tedious western/horror crossover. When an attempted robbery goes wrong because of a setup with the local Marshall, Jesse James and his wounded hulking partner try to find medical attention that won't lead to their capture. Lucky for him that he stumbles upon some woodland Mexicans and their daughter Juanita who tells Jesse that there is a chance that the oddball doctors in their village might be just what he's looking for. Turns out that these doctors are the grandchildren of Baron Frankenstein himself, Maria and Rudolph, who have relocated to the American Southwest to take advantage of a certain kind of electrical storm that seems to be common here. Didn't know lightning was so discriminating. When the titular meeting takes place Maria instantly recognizes that the injured brute is just what the doctor ordered. See what I did there? Maria also falls for Jesse as her only male companionship is in the form of her brother Rudolph who she berates constantly. When her amorous advances are rejected by Jesse she becomes enraged and turns Hank, who was recovering from his gunshot wound, into Igor the Frankenstein monster.Directed by William Beaudine who is better known for his work with Disney this second billing film after "Billy the Kid vs Dracula" is about as riveting as any given episode of The Mickey Mouse Club. Being a fan only of spaghetti westerns made this a real chore to watch as the dry acting and plodding pace was putting me to sleep long before any meeting took place. It's not a poorly produced film or one of those "so bad it's good" films by any stretch of the imagination. It's just so damn boring that I'm confident that I will have no desire to watch this coma inducing fluff ever again. Do not resurrect this movie.

Witchfinder General 666 1966 was doubtlessly one of the greatest years ever for the Western genre. Sergio Leone brought us the greatest western of all-time (and one of the greatest films of all-time) with the incomparable masterpiece "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly", and other Italian directors also enriched the genre with brilliant films, such as Sergio Corbucci with "Django", Sergio Sollima with "The Big Gundown" or Damiano Damiani with "A Bullet For The General". This year that leads the heyday of the Spaghetti Western sub-genre, however, is also the year in which two of the most ridiculed and corniest American Westerns (or, more precisely Sci-Fi-Horror-Westerns) were brought to screen by the infamous 'One-Shot' William Beaudine, namely "Billy The Kid Vs. Dracula" and this film. "Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter" of 1966 is said to be the epitome of a 'so bad its good' kind of film, and sometimes even quoted as one of the crappiest cult-classics ever brought to screen. For understandable reasons, as this is indeed an extremely silly and corny production that delivers loads of unintentional hilarity. Yet, as silly as this may sound, I was almost a bit disappointed that William Beaudine's is not nearly as crappy as I hoped it would be. Horror and Western are two of my favorite genres in cinema, and yet the combination of both genres only seldom leads to anything decent. And when a film combines one of the main icons of Horror, Frankenstein, and one of the most famous characters in Western-cinema, Jesse James, in its title, one can be quite sure that the outcome is gonna be very, very cheesy."Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter" is cheesy indeed, and it becomes hilariously crappy towards the end, but one must say that the 'Western'-parts are not even as awful as one might expect them to be. It is the Horror/Sci-Fi parts that are absolutely ridiculous in this, but these crappier parts are also the most amusing moments in the film. The title actually gives a wrong information, as it is not Baron Frankenstein's daughter, but his granddaughter whom Jesse James meets. Maria Frankenstein (Narda Onyx) has fled to the American West along with her cowardly brother Rudolf Frankenstein (Steven Geray, who is old enough to be her father, if not her grandfather). The unscrupulous Maria comes after her grandfather, as she terrorizes a little village with her morbid experiments. In the meanwhile, legendary outlaw Jesse James (John Lupton), and his strong sidekick Cal Bolder are fleeing from the law, and run into beautiful Juanita (Estellita Lopez) and her family, who are fleeing from the village infested by the Frankensteins... The film bares little logic, and it often hilariously ridiculous and silly, and yet it is not really one of the crappiest unintentional comedies from the 60s I've seen. The tillage includes some of the cheesiest lines ever heard, which only makes this more amusing. The performances are exaggerated, but I've seen way worse, and while the storyline may be as silly as it gets, the film never gets boring. Overall, this film is highly recommended to all lovers of crappy cinema. It does not quite have the charm of Ed Wood's films, but it is way more worthwhile than other awful 'classics' such as "The Beast Of Yucca Flats" or "Eegah". I haven't seen "Billy The Kid Vs. Dracula" yet, but after this, I sure will. "Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter" is amusing, to say at least.
