ALIEN OUTLAW (1985)

Cowgirl vs Aliens!

The DVD cover says it carefully:
"Filmed two years before" Predator ", many have commented that Alien Outlaw could have been That invading space creature film's inspiration."

I have to agree with those "many"! A spaceship lands in some remote mountain countryside somewhere in North Carolina. The space travelers embark on a hunt. And their prey is people!
When the leggy, gun-toting western show lady Jesse Jamison discovers her show gear missing, someone has to pay. And it is NOT going to be her unreliable manager!

The Alien Wild Bunch

For a nobudget homebrew project of a local boy, this was nicely MacGyvered into a great science fiction action flick. The Predictors look badass in their latex masks! Why they have not brought their own weapons, and how they are so good with sixshooters, and Winchesters? What is their mission anyway? Why are they here? Why anything?? It doesn't matter. What matters is, it's a rush! Sure it's a big cheese factory to see the Aliens driving and shooting it up like The Wild Bunch. The shootouts, the super cheesy final battle. This is a pure low-budget sci-fi / western!

Pay particular attention to the hilarious Paul Holman. When trying to escape a Predictor, he first locks himself in Lash LaRue's bathroom, and then squeezes through the bathroom window, with his full fat unwieldy body. How he waddles away, and, then, miraculously avoiding the alien's sixshooter, hobbles through and fro in the middle of the street, like a forcefed duck in Duck Hunt! Until Jesse Jamison comes to the rescue, guns a-blazing! How badass is that!

Lash La Rue could leave his trusty whip holstered this time. He is touching as an old western show hero. He is barely ashamed as the grinning Kari Anderson catches him fetching the newspaper wearing nothing but his boots and robe. Or when she chuckles, as she spots his chicken breast while he is in the bathroom, dressed only in oversized boxers... Too embarrassing, too funny! So recognizable. As the sidekick of gunslingin "Jesse, he is also fantastic. Lash La Rue is a tough, vulnerable, credible old gunslinger. And that is beautiful.

After The Dark Power, this was the 2nd and last collaboration of Lash La Rue and Phil Smoot. Also the last film Smoot directed. Final movie part of three, count them THREE!, Western heroes of yesteryear -Lash La Rue, Sunset Carson and Wild Bill Cody. Only movie role of the great, beautiful, long-long-Leggy Kari Anderson! And an hour and a half full of fun and humor with a wonderful cast of deliciously cheesy hillbilly redneck cliche. 

Three Western Greats.

It's really heartbreaking that this is the only film of Kari Anderson She's tough, funny, cynical, wild, hot, hot, HAWT! What Catherine Bach did for Daisy Dukes, Kari Anderson does for Tightfit jeans and frilly hot pants! DANG! Weapon Virtuoso, an über chick with guns! The gorgeous, leggy Amazon caresses sixshooter, ooh baby! And why, in the hunt for the Endboss, she decides to exchange her Tightfit jeans -Also sexy, mind you - for a spirited just a little too tight-fitting suede Indian outfit, including frilly hotpants? Well, does there have to be a reason? Have you seen her legs? That's all the reason I need ...

Kari Anderson and her trusty sixshooter.

For Lash's old fart's chicken breast, and Kari's sixshootingest sixshooters in the darn Wild Wild West, 4.0 space sheriffs' stars! "Eat hot lead, ya spacevarmints ya!"
