Question: What is better than an Ed Wood, Jr. movie?
Answer: Just about anything.
So here's everyone's favorite cashmire schlockmeister with a not-so-good tale of a young man drawn into a life of crime and the young man's plastic surgeon father being blackmailed into providing a new face for a gangland boss. Don't expect logic, or plot, or good acting, or any cinematic values with this one.
Staring Lyle Talbot, Delores Fuller, Herbert Rawlinson (his last film; he died of terminal lung cancer the morning his last scene was shot), and Steve (Hercules) Reeves, and Clancy Malone.
With a screenplay written committed by Wood and Alex Gordon and directed by Wood, this one also features Wood doing a voiceover as a radio newscaster.
Oh. And there's blackface.
Well, the director's cut replace the blackface scene with a strip tease scene, so maybee Ed Wood, Jr. became woke.
Enjoy this unintentional laugh-along epic.

The best moments in his films are usually accidental.
