There is nothing fun about this movie. And there's really nothing all that enjoyable or pleasant or good about it either. It's just depressing to look at. Depressing is really the only word I can thing to describe it. It's just dull on top of that. Well here's the plot. Griffin is an outlaw running from the cops. He meets up with this guys who go to see a US soldier who is planning an early Bay of Pigs invasion. It's kind of like the early invasion of Normandy but it lacks interest. Anyway they all get caught but they escape. They make it back to the United States to start robbing and killing again. Why do they do this? I don't know! I barely have any clue as to why. They also tell the wife of one of the men that he died, which doesn't make sense because we see him alive and well later. I don't know it that was supposed to be a flashback or not but it doesn't make sense either way. Well Griffin ends up being killed by the police, and that's about the end of it. I recommend that if you do watch this movie, only watch it on Mystery Science Theater 3000. It's also known as Red Zone Cuba.

The reviews on this movie seem to have the general idea covered very well, so suffice it to say that I agree, it's a horrible film. One thing that I did not see in the reviews was any mention of Cherokee Jack's sign. The version of the film I saw only flashed to the sign for about 1/2 second. I ran it back and played it twice more and I still could not absorb the whole thing. So I paused on the sign and did a screen-grab. The sign in itself is funny, so I posted the screen-grab on my personal Web site and was going to give you a link here so you could see it for yourselves. Alas, the posting guidelines for IMDb forbid giving URL's. Too bad. It's worth a look.While it doesn't do the actual sign justice, here is what it says:*******************************"CHEROKEE ~ JACK" WiLL FLiE YOU ANYWHERE? RATES - PRETTiE - REASONEBLE;*******************************All misspellings and punctuation above are correct. The "i"'s were all lower case, but capital sized. The sign was done by hand. I'll admit that the possibility exists that this was intentional, but considering how little thought went into the rest of this movie, I doubt it. So, Jack somehow managed to get a pilot's license but can't spell the word "fly"? Not exactly confidence inspiring. I was also counting how many times a cigarette was put to lips in this film, but I lost count after 27.Coleman Francis, was there any movie you couldn't make for $35,000?

Protagonist escapes prison. Protagonist meets two shady men. The three stooges travel in a plane to undergo an hour of training to invade Cuba for a pay of 1000 dollars, they receive 35. The invasion fails and they get captured. They escape and rush back to the us in a plane. Then follows a series of events that are coherent in no way, and it finishes with the protagonist getting shot.This "film" should not be seen unless you are into BDSM or want to see how a bad film is done. It should serve as an example why a script is important, as well as a variable cast. A film will not turn out good if you go out in the desert with just a camera and a hand-picked cast of actors from the metal factory.If you are to see this film, please note that the protagonist has no lines until a third of the film has passed and that your confusion is natural. Nobody understands what goes on.

Curse you, Ray Dennis Stecker! If you(also a terrible filmmaker in your own right)had'nt found Coleman Francis drunk in a gutter and encouraged him to make films, we wouldn't have been inflicted with his three opuses, namely Skydivers, The Beast of Yucca Flats, and the epitome of dreadful, Red Zone Cuba. This 'movie' stuns you with its sheer awfulness. It is a senseless, horrible piece of crap. The main character, played with greasy flabbiness by the auteur Mr. Francis himself, is perhaps THE most unlikable character I have ever seen, and that includes the guy from Manos and Francis's mentor Ray Dennis who played an amazingly unlikable character in his Mixed Up Zombies movie. This jerk is first seen escaping from prison, and for most of the rest of the movie all he does is smoke, threaten people, grouse, and of course pointlessly beat up and kill people. I've always been amazed by 'filmmakers' you cast themselves as characters in their own movies, and then proceed to make the character someone so nasty and horrible that the audiences first reaction is to want to bitch slap them. Is that how you want to be remembered, Mr. Francis? As that horrid guy in Red Zone Cuba who sunk the human race to new lows? Well, okay, then.The plot - okay, there is no plot. None. Nada. Zip. There's supposed to be an 'invasion' of Cuba, but there's maybe eight guys on the invasion team, because apparently Cuba(which looks like New Mexico for some reason) only has eight Cubans living on it. And one of them wears a terrible false beard for some reason. Then there's an incomprehensible escape, wherein the characters fly out of New Mexico...err....Cuba, and land in - where else? New Mexico. Then there's a weird bit about a really annoying blind singer and her very tall, very thin, very old Dad who gets stuffed down a well. After that, there's a ton of strung together travel scenes, and the idiots arrive at their destination, a ranch with a really depressed woman living on it. Then some High School age G-Men show up, Francis shoots the woman for no discernible reason, and he gets chased down and shot. The ONLY good scene in the whole movie, if you ask me. And that's it. Arrggghhh!!!
