A mad scientist sets out to gather the human parts
necessary to create a race of mindless killers.
The (so-called) plot has something to do with
resurrecting corpses through use of a brain wave machine of some sort
.
The Astro Zombie is a man in a rubber mask. The leads
try to keep a straight face while spouting ridiculous dialogue. The
women scream a lot especially when the Astro Zombie tries to rip their
clothes off. John Carradine bumbles around in his laboratory
endlessly. Russ Meyer starlet Tura Satana wears exotic outfits, makeup
and eyelashes which gives the movie some camp appeal. The opening and
closing credits are shot over film of toy robots and tanks.
If you thought Ed Wood made bad films wait until you
see this. Co-written by Wayne Rogers (Trapper John from the M*A*S*H*
TV series) and followed, unbelievably, by a sequel in 2002.
