But these alien outlaws encounter unexpected resistance in the form of a gun-toting blonde (KARI ANDERSON) and her mentor (LASH LA RUE).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Quick Hit Review: <em>Alien Outlaw<\/em><\/strong> is a, as described on the back cover, love letter to 1950s B-movies from writer-director Phil Smoot. While I can appreciate Smoot\u2019s intentions and everything, this is a film that at times does lag and worse, the humor was more cringe-worthy than anything resembling funny. Still, I will say Kari Anderson in the lead role was nice to look at and the makeup effects on the creatures were respectable. As a whole, <strong><em>Alien Outlaw<\/em><\/strong> was at least watchable and giving it the \u201cMST3K\u201d treatment among friends might make for a fun night.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"*\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviemansguide.com\/images\/main\/bar_blue.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"3\" \/><\/p>\n<table id=\"review-content\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>SPECIAL FEATURES \u2013 3\u00bd\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td id=\"review-content2\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This release comes with a matted <strong>slip cover<\/strong> and the inside artwork is reversible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><u>Audio Commentaries:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Director Phil Smoot<\/li>\n<li>Editor Sherwood Jones &amp; Actors Stephen Winegard and Kimberly Mauldin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><u>They Came from the Swamps: Making <em>Alien Outlaw<\/em> (22:20)<\/u><\/strong> is a featurette with interviews by Smoot, actors Kari Anderson and Gil Newsom as well as casting coordinator Mary Dalton, all looking back on the production.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><u>Interview with Editor Sherwood Jones (8:46)<\/u><\/strong> is another new feature with Jones discussing his work on the movie.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The disc also includes <strong><u>News Conference (5:41)<\/u><\/strong> footage; <strong><u>Behind the Scenes (4:15)<\/u><\/strong> of some raw footage; <strong><u>Archival Interviews (12:32)<\/u><\/strong> with Lash LaRue and Kimberly Mauldin; and <strong><u>Home Movie (4:31)<\/u><\/strong>, an EPK featurette.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"*\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviemansguide.com\/images\/main\/bar_blue.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"3\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/images4.imagebam.com\/f4\/8e\/80\/MEPXQ9I_o.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-screencapture aligncenter\" title=\"Alien Outlaw\" src=\"https:\/\/images4.imagebam.com\/f4\/8e\/80\/MEPXQ9I_o.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<table id=\"review-content\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>VIDEO \u2013 4\u00be\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td id=\"review-content2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>Alien Outlaw<\/em><\/strong> debuts on Blu-ray received a new director-approved 1080p high-definition transfer which was a 4K restoration from the 16mm original camera negative.
