"But the only thing they tell us about the island, is that there must be a lot of leopards here." [Shows everything made of leopard skin} "Or used to be..." Oh, yet another pearl from a master of dry wit. :)
I don't know if this is the "worst" Frankenstein film, but it's probably the oddest...everytime I watch it I can't stop laughing & shaking my head at the ineptitude and the aforementioned oddness
This entire movie is a laugh riot, and you did it justice. I'll understand Quantum Mechanics long before I'll have a clue what the hell is going on in "Frankenstein Island"!
While it is a tough call, this just might be my favorite review of yours...it's certainly the one I share the most to introduce people to what you do. I've seen around 8600 films as of last count and Frankenstein Island is still probably the most insane! I force just about everyone who comes to my flat to watch the end fight scene...and let's not forget the "sports"
This film is notable for being the last of five Frankenstein films to feature the laboratory equipment from "Frankenstein" (1931) and "Bride of Frankenstein" (1935). The other four are "Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter" (1966), "Dracula vs. Frankenstein" (1971), "Blackenstein" (1973) and "Young Frankenstein" (1974).
Keep up the great work guys. Another that deserves your attention is 1954's killers from space lol. A film that even billy wilders brother must laugh about.
The guys who produced "Mystery Science Theater 3000" and "Rifftrax" have produced mockeries of two films by Jerry Warren: this one, and "The Wild Wild World of Batwoman".
This movie was always on local tv well into the 90s....it's pretty obvious that Warren hadn't seen a new movie in 20 years at that point, something he admitted in an interview.
"Blackenstein" was utterly abysmal. I thought that it would be as enjoyable as "Blacula", but I was sadly mistaken. They did send-ups of it on "MAD TV", and they actually did a better job with it.
This isn't just one of the worst Frankenstein movie ever made, it's one of the worst FILMS ever made, period. I'd rate it a tie - Frankensteins Island and Bela Lugosi Meets A Brooklyn Gorilla - for worst ever...
I owned this movie on VHS. I watched four times and still all I remember is John Carradine mumbling something in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
Thanks. I didn't know of this movie. I have always wanted to see in one of these type movies when the authorities show up and everything has disappeared, "Ok you perpetrated a hoax which resulted in the diversion of law enforcement and military resources. So now you will be going to prison."
A guy in your comments said that carradine is the usa actor with most film roles and in uk its marianne stone, do you know why,?? her husband was one of the biggest film critics of the day. 😂😂😂 Really.
This looks hysterical. Gotta sit through it. Today, it's just another day on Elon Musk's estate. If it's '80s, and it's cheap and bad, it must have Cameron Mitchell in it. (I've been asking since I was a teenager since the late '70s, "Who the freak did YOU piss off in the big studios?")
Here’s the movie condensed to the scenes where Jocko is laughing. After watching the film twice in a row, we knew it had to be done. th-cam.com/video/w9YgSgZQz4s/w-d-xo.html This is a testament to Jocko and his laughs that brought joy to the castaways, the fur-clad amazon women and audiences everywhere.
I gotta think Al Adamson's Frankenstein vs Dracula is worse than this. Come to think of it, the OTHER two "Frankenstein vs Draculas" to come out THAT YEAR were probably worse, too...
The sad thing is that this review doesn't even fully encapsulate how WEIRD (and unintentionally funny) this movie is. True one for the history books in terms of how bizarre it is.
honestly this movie, as ridiculous as nonsensical as the plot is, wouldn't be nearly so insufferable if A) it wasn't SO SLOW, it takes SO LONG for ANYTHING to happen; and B) the heroes' seemed so bizarrely unaffected by all this wild stuff going on, making it hard to feel invested in any of it
At least it evidently doesn't trot out Nazis as the explanation (which is about the only thing that makes me put off watching SHE DEMONS). I might be the only one, but Nazis are too much of a big cliche for me in suspense stories.

Just rewatched this review. One of your best! So that's an unexpected positive for the film. "You're holding a fucking dinghy!" gets me every time. 😁
Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter is pretty wild.
I don't know if this is the "worst" Frankenstein film, but it's probably the oddest...everytime I watch it I can't stop laughing & shaking my head at the ineptitude and the aforementioned oddness
Definitively not the oddest. I would give that to Flesh for Frankenstein.
To be fair, he did say "MAY be"
Girls in bikinis being nice to men who turn up out of nowhere - it's pure 'Carry on Up the Jungle'.
I do confess that I enjoyed, "Carry On Screaming", a cheeky little monster mash.
@@OrangeElixir Frying tonight!
Any relation to Robin?
@@varanid9 Yes, he's my son.
This entire movie is a laugh riot, and you did it justice. I'll understand Quantum Mechanics long before I'll have a clue what the hell is going on in "Frankenstein Island"!
I think that Laughing Guy with Eyepatch at the end IS Jerry Warren!
The women are not wearing leopard-skins. That species of alien grows spotted-fur in all the right places. They’re actually naked.

(0:48) "You're holding a fucking dinghy!" Heh!
(4:05) That's spectacularly poor gun discipline...
I get the impression you struggled watching this one more than you normally do with these movies.
Keep up the great work guys. Another that deserves your attention is 1954's killers from space lol. A film that even billy wilders brother must laugh about.
I saw this movie - briefly. I think "hammock girl" was undergoing some kind of punishment.

yeah I first saw it on UHF in the 90s; he basically made a 50s drive in movie in 1981.
"Blackenstein" was utterly abysmal. I thought that it would be as enjoyable as "Blacula", but I was sadly mistaken. They did send-ups of it on "MAD TV", and they actually did a better job with it.
How did I miss that one.
This isn't just one of the worst Frankenstein movie ever made, it's one of the worst FILMS ever made, period. I'd rate it a tie - Frankensteins Island and Bela Lugosi Meets A Brooklyn Gorilla - for worst ever...
"I'll have what he's smoking." Classic.
Dracula VS.Frankenstein starring Lon Chaney Jr. Was pretty bad, but I think this is worse.
oh jerry warren
Worst Frankenstein movie: either Jesse James meets Frankenstein’s Daughter OR Dracula versus Frankenstein (the version with J. Carrol Nash.
John Carradine has the most movie credits on imdb for an American actor. In Britain it’s Marianne Stone.
Do you know why it was Marianne stone ??? Because her hubby was a notable film critic ....😂😂😂 Really.
Now I have an idea what to watch over the weekend...
I owned this movie on VHS. I watched four times and still all I remember is John Carradine mumbling something in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
Another classic how about doing the night stalker with Darren mcgavin 73 or part 2 the night Strangler
Have you done FRANKENSTEINS DAUGHTER already?
Sheila Frankenstein -- LOL! "Oh, the power - THE POWER!"
Thanks. I didn't know of this movie.
I have always wanted to see in one of these type movies when the authorities show up and everything has disappeared, "Ok you perpetrated a hoax which resulted in the diversion of law enforcement and military resources. So now you will be going to prison."
Kinda like Monster a Go Go: "There was no monster. Sorry to drag you out here, Army."
Maybe do kitten with a wip
Is this where John Carradine went to die?
They killed him so he can come back and make this spectacular cameo and play his estate his $500 fee.
A guy in your comments said that carradine is the usa actor with most film roles and in uk its marianne stone, do you know why,?? her husband was one of the biggest film critics of the day.
😂😂😂 Really.
I'm reminded of the Kasey Jones song "Watin' For the Guy to Die".
It is Van Helsing
This looks hysterical. Gotta sit through it.
Today, it's just another day on Elon Musk's estate.
If it's '80s, and it's cheap and bad, it must have Cameron Mitchell in it. (I've been asking since I was a teenager since the late '70s, "Who the freak did YOU piss off in the big studios?")
3:06 my heavens! THAT was worth a watch. Until then I thought of him as an overrated creep but now?
i'm assuming the carradine footage is from another movie or something?? has anyone ever identified it?
I agree with your assessment as the worst Frankenstein movie.
Least this guy knows his films 😊
Dude. That move hurt my very soul
I saw that ending fight scene, was immediately reminded of Batwoman, and to no one in particular said out loud "Jesus, I fucking hate Jerry Warren."
Here’s the movie condensed to the scenes where Jocko is laughing.

4:40 great movie, if you want to destroy your brain!
Has he done manous
Dinosaur Island (1994) is very much the same with more lizard work.
I bet Don Dohler watches this and is like : Get a load of THIS guy! 🙄
This is the best Jerry Warren film I ever saw.... for a given value of "film, "best" and oddly enough '"Jerry Warren".
This is a perfect Rifftrax subject.
They have a riff of this film 😂
What a wonderful island! Wish I could visit such a place...oh what covid lockdown does to a mind!
This looks incredibly bad! Thanks!
The worst Frankenstein movie I've seen was Frankehood
This may be worse
The Unwatchables the worse Frankenstein with the hottest babes.
I feel sorry for Robert Clarke.
I gotta see this movie
Spanky Goodman is in this film. No I’m not joking.
Why is Andrew Duggan in this?
Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster is really awful too , no Frankenstein monster in it just a robot used by the space agency
The sad thing is that this review doesn't even fully encapsulate how WEIRD (and unintentionally funny) this movie is. True one for the history books in terms of how bizarre it is.
I like this plot.
The choreography of the native women seems quite lackadaisical.
this movie is plain painful. Even Rifftrax couldn't save this dreck.
Damn!!! I must admit that this movie actually SUCKS!!! The only thing that is good/interesting about this movie are the women!!!
This was bad, but have you ever seen Dracula vs. Frankenstein??
🎉
It was ten scripts mashed together
Worst frankenstein film ever made - surely that goes to the count....Frankenstein. 😂😂😂
honestly this movie, as ridiculous as nonsensical as the plot is, wouldn't be nearly so insufferable if A) it wasn't SO SLOW, it takes SO LONG for ANYTHING to happen; and B) the heroes' seemed so bizarrely unaffected by all this wild stuff going on, making it hard to feel invested in any of it
At least it evidently doesn't trot out Nazis as the explanation (which is about the only thing that makes me put off watching SHE DEMONS). I might be the only one, but Nazis are too much of a big cliche for me in suspense stories.
Bad- but I think much of it is intentionally bad.
This looks utterly atrocious.......i must watch it.
Frankenstein General Hospital was worse!
😂
I must see this movie 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
🤮... I have no words
Mind numbing tripe and schlock.Lol.Certainly a product of it's time.The 70's was wild.
