Exactly that is what you get. A somehow black version of James Bond. Blaxploitation star Fred Williamson does a good job, fast story lines and a lot of action. Clearly as meaningless and senseless as in a James Bond movie but I enjoyed it a lot since I am also a bigtime fan of the whole genre. He even uses some special gadgets and travels around the world - of course not to forget - he gets the hot chicks. One of his best one liner - if he just finished some part of his job "charming". Of course not a shaft, coffy or foxy brown but a really nice second line blaxploitation flic. The addition of some martial arts shows also the KungFu heyday - of course not too professional but enjoyable.

So making up my collection of really cheesy, sleazy and bad movies of the seventies I stumbled over this great movie. Astro Zombies is very recommendable for having some great fun time. Especially the technical advices used by John Carradine are just hilarious and his Quasimodo like mute assistant adds to this. There are so many just senseless or stretched scenes and but the powerful soundtrack (hahahaha) keeps you awake. The outer appearance of the Astro Zombies is also remarkable since I nearly never was so frightened to die from a laughing riot. Definitely Astro Zombies belongs in the category sooo bad that it is a great fun to watch. Even I would consider Astro Zombies for one of my worst movies favorites. So now I really cannot await to get the sequel and dig deeper into the realm of trash. Thanx Mr. Mikels for such a great laughing moment. So if you like trash - GO FOR THIS ONE!!!
