Viewing Notes

Popped up on YouTube and it looked like my kind of flick. And YEP it’s TOTALLY my kind of cheesy, trashy flick. Of course this isn’t a good movie but I’m impressed with the sets and make-up and outfits (both alien leader Kaena and sexy daughter Luisa). If the sex appeal was removed it would be similar to the corny Disney flicks from the 60s.

The transfer on YT isn’t bad but I’d love to see a restored version of this in its original Italian.
