Wes (Stephen Winegard) is only supposed to drive a trailer full of
weapons for trick shootist Jesse Jamison (Kari Anderson), but then he sees
something crashing into a nearby lake he thinks to be an airplane (it's
actually an UFO), and when he goes looking, he is attacked and killed by a
trio of aliens, who then empty the trailer to use the weapons to go onto a
little hunting expedition - and their game is human ... Jesse Jamison
has just gotten herself a new manager (Deborah Brady), but now that she
seems to have hit it big time, she finds herself out of weapons - and when
she goes looking for them, she only finds the empty trailer - and has to
fight of the aliens soon enough. Meanwhile, Peter (Gil Newsome) and
Andrew (Richard Davis) have gone on a fishing trip, but soon the aliens
have attacked and killed Andrew, and Peter has only scarcely managed to
escape them. Eventually he and Jesse meet up with local do-gooder Alex
(Las La Rue), and after surviving another alien attack, the three of them
realize it's time to go on the offensive - and witht he help of trick
shooting and loads of dynamite, they finally blow the aliens from the face
of the earth. Though Alien Outlaw might be regarded as a
precursor for Predator with quite some justification, it's actually
also a pretty dull piece of film, spending way too little time with the
actual plot - the fight against threee hunter-aliens - and way too much
time with its backstory, that basically revolves around Jesse Jamison's
career move and is totally pointless. Sure the combination of sci-fi and
Western elements is not without charm and the skimpy costume of Kari
Anderson is at least worth a look or two (especially since she's got the
figure to fill it), but in all, this is too little to really save the
film. A note for B-Western fans: While Lash La Rue does indeed play one
of the leads of Alien Outlaw, the appearances of both Sunset Carson
and Bill Cody are short and pointless and placed within the first ten
minutes of the film.
