Summary: Ridiculous and Fun
Review: This film is so outrageously ridiculous that you'd have to be a moron to dismiss it as unworthy. Where else could you see Frankenstein's granddaughter banished (?) to the 'Wild Wild West', only to resume her wacked-out experiments on the wholehearty locals. Fine performances had by all - especially Dr. F's hencheman who looks in desperate need of another brandy throughout.Great fun.

Summary: William Beaudine Made Over 500 Films. This Is One Of Them.
Review: This is an amazing film. It is the last film ever made by William "One Shot" Beaudine, and was a real resume killer for almost everyone in the cast as well. This is the sequel to "Billy The Kid Versus Dracula" (Beaudine's second to last film) which starred John Carradine. Carradine said that "Billy The Kid Versus Dracula" was the worst movie he ever made. That is saying something coming from John Carradine. Now imagine that this film is the sequel. I have seen both, and I think that "Billy The Kid Versus Dracula" is marginally worse, but I can't imagine seeing these on a double bill, which is how they were typically shown. The thing that makes this DVD special is the commentary track by Joe Bob Briggs. Joe Bob is a genius in his own right, and is super knowledgeable about any type of Grade B movies. Here he gives us the rundown of the cast and location history, and points out continuity gaffes which are so numerous that some of them would probably escape notice due to sheer volume without his help. In the film Jesse and his gang have a rendezvous with fate with Dr. Frankenstein's granddaughter (Yeah, I know the title is inaccurate. It isn't the only thing in the film, either.) There are several subplots, most of which don't make sense, and possibly the single most stupefying ending in cinema history. The only thing really well done here is Igor's skull scar. Prepare yourself to laugh at everything else. I watched the film without the commentary once, and with the commentary once. My advice is to just watch it with the commentary. Joe Bob makes sure you listen in whenever anything important happens (which isn't often) and provides plot summation throughout the film anyhow. Another reason is that sometimes the sound is poor and some of the cast (especially Narda Onyx and Estrelita) have bad accents and diction problems. The movie gets five stars with Joe Bob's commentary turned on. With the commentary turned off it would get two simply as a lifetime achievement award for William Beaudine.

Summary: Ripped From The Pages Of Yesterday's Headlines!
Review: Yessiree, this here is just how it all happened. Jesse James (John Lupton) and Hank Tracy (towering behemoth Cal Bolder) were minding their own business, robbing a stagecoach, when, -BAM!- They were double-crossed by one of the notorious wild bunch! Sheriff MacPhee (Jim "Monster From Green Hell" Davis) attempted a capture, but Jesse and Hank got away. Sadly, Hank was shot and didn't have long to live. Thankfully, our "heroes" came across a friendly mexican family willing to help out. Beautiful daughter Juanita (Estelita) told Jesse of a doctor who could fix poor Hank. Yep, doctor Maria "Narda Onyx" Frankenstein M.D. (Mad Doctor). She and her brother Rudolph had fled their european homeland, settling down in Arizona to continue the family tradition of cranial implantation. Unfortunately for Maria, Rudolph had been poisoning her subjects faster than she could re-animate them! Then, along came Jesse James with loveable lummox Hank Tracy, the perfect specimen; and it's out with the old brain-in with the new, artificial brain! Just like in the history books! The only problem with JJMFD is it's length. At nearly 90 minutes, it tends to drag on a bit (like pulling a cast-iron cactus behind a square-wheeled wagon). It could have easily been cut down to about an hour or so without losing anything close to important. Actually, it might have made a great 15 minute short film...
