A space capsule crash-lands, and the astronaut aboard disappears. Is there a connection between the missing man and the monster roaming the area? No bones about it, this is a terrible movie. Were it to be remade (heaven forbid) this might actually be alright, because the plot is not awful for a monster movie. But the execution! Oh, man! Poor editing, awful sound (many times conversations are hardly audible or are reverberating), nasty lighting that washes everything out (which is made worse by poor prints, no doubt). Widely considered one of the worst films ever made, it has earned that honor.What makes it interesting, though, is that despite being a piece of garbage, it was actually made by two great independent filmmakers -- H. G. Lewis and Bill Rebane, the godfather of the Wisconsin film industry. Perhaps even more interesting is a man named Rick Paul who acts in a small role. After this, he apparently stayed out of movies for twenty years before resurfacing in "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer" as a victim and the film's art director. Odd! (Though not that odd given the Chicago connection.) None of this makes up for it being a terrible movie, though. Watch it at your own risk.

Ten years before unleashing that seventh layer of hell known as THE GREAT SPIDER INVASION, Bill Rebane along with fellow Z-movie auteur Herschell Gordon Lewis directed this miserable piece of cow dung.The sorry mess immediately started when Rebane ran out of money while making the film. Gee, no wonder he couldn't afford useful filmmaking tools like boom mikes or a decent script that wasn't written on cocktail napkins. And that's when The Godfather of Gore came along.While planning a not-so-important double feature, Lewis bought MONSTER A-GO GO from the desperate director. Under the hands of good old H.G. Lewis, extra scenes and dialog were added which created an avalanche of bad continuity. The result was a weird, incoherent disaster-piece of minor proportions. The only good thing about the movie was seeing the monster, but I didn't see any go-go dancers. At least that could have been interesting to watch! I don't mind a bad movie now or then, but watching the film with the MST3K commentary didn't help matters at all. I would rather watch FINAL JUSTICE or SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS ten times in a row than sit through MONSTER A-GO GO any day of the week.

OK so basically this movie proceeds as follows; a space capsule (helicopter) crashes (the helicopter was apparently fine) and leaves an astronaut dead. That's the first few minutes. The next hour or so is comprised of a random dance scene, a few random kisses, people sitting in cars talking, a detective (I think) walking around inquisitively in random field in a sort of neo-noir style, a 3 second view of the "monster," astronaut thing, and some guys at a science lab saying things that don't make any sense. Oh its gets better.Then there are some firemen attaching something to a bridge and a few minutes of the torso/legs of the supposed monster walking around. Then...plot resolution? Nope the monster disappears, the astronaut appears perfectly healthy a few thousand miles away, the "movie" attempts to rip off the ending of a Twilight Zone episode, and the audience is left with a overwhelming feeling of sorrow coming from realizing that this was the work of human beings. The only thing that semi-happened the entire movie was wrenched away.So I lied, it didn't get any better.My friend tried to warn me by describing the movie as follows...OK Imagine the worst movie you've ever seen, remove the plot, remove the characters, remove any sort of continuity, add a helicopter, some people that can't act, a random dance scene, and some random kissing. Then, take away all of that by making the non-existent monster go away and by revealing the only character you might have formed an emotional attachment to that had died was fine, a few thousand miles away. Basically, make one insignificant thing happen, have an hour of discontinuous scenes, and then take what little there was away at the end.This movie could quite possibly be a part of the worst punishment a human being could endure. It's sort of like a birthday party. Well more like telling someone there's a birthday party planned for them, getting in your car and driving around trying to teach that someone a new language, and then revealing to them they don't actually exist, there is no birthday party and that you just wasted an hour of their life teaching them a language that isn't actually real.If that sounds like your type of movie go for it but if you would rather leave your view of the human race somewhat positive this probably should not be watched.

For my first review, why not start with the worst? I've seen Manos and I've seen The Beast of Yucca Flats and I've seen 10 minutes of Superbabies 2 but this movie tops...uh...truly lives at the bottom of the barrel.Monster a-Go Go is one of those movies that just sits and dares you to fall asleep and I just couldn't resist so I missed 10 minutes but I am sure that I did not miss anything. Luckily, I did wake up to see the few seconds of random go-go dancing. Damn, I wish there was more go-go dancing because that was the best part of the film. And…then I went back to sleep because I couldn't handle the excitement! Ten minutes later I woke up to see two people I didn't care about talking at a restaurant. Okay, I suppose that I should discuss some plot points. Apparently, a spacecraft crashed and one of the pilots is presumed dead. Unfortunately, he is not dead and we have to proceed with the rest of the movie. Instead he has turned into a monster who we (very) occasionally see and we are told that he has done some bad things. Later, we meet a scientist in a white coat (scientists always look the same in z-grade movies) who drones on about the horrors of the monster. So, the authorities search for the monster only to discover the big plot twist.There never really was a monster. That's it! That's the plot twist! It has to be one of the biggest "screw the audience" moments in cinematic history. If you want more information, read some of the other reviews.In short, if you are having trouble sleeping this is the perfect movie. If you are looking for a good date movie, obviously you are very lost.
