Review of Red Zone Cuba

Red Zone Cuba (1966)
1/10
La Zona Roja de Cuba
24 June 1999
I love "Plan 9," I enjoyed "Robot Monster," and I even found "Manos the Hands of Fate" entertaining in a twisted way, but THIS movie was the first film ever that was so bad it made me angry. It starts out fine, what with Coleman Francis and his seven dwarfs staging a full invasion of Cuba and John Carradine singing the hilariously bad theme song. But THEN... it's too painful toi put into words. After Coleman and his two chums "escape" Cuba (we just have to assume they escape, we never actually SEE them escape) they find an old man and throw him down a well and steal his car. Did I mention the old man's blind daughter that does nothing but play piano? Oh well, I'm running out of room. So they steal his car and hop a train for some reason, then go and steal another car, as if the one they had before wasn't good enough. THEN they go hunting for treasure in the mountains and the cops that were after Coleman in the beginning of the film happen to spot him and they shoot him. I left out other details (like how they found the wife of some guy they thought was dead in Cuba who had an adandoned mine, but he really wasn't dead), but you get the point. The worst EVER.
