“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds."

Frankenstein Island (1981)
How bad is it? It's very bad indeed.

Jerry Warren's made a number of terrible films. This is one of his later ones and the only one I recall seeing in color. It has veteran bad movie actors Steve Brodie and Cameron Mitchell, plus John Carradine, who's seen mostly in a photograph, as his arthritis kept him from doing much (I should do a monograph on this some day). Balloonists land on an island inhabited only by women in bikinis and zombies who wear turtlenecks, ski caps and white contact lenses. Many of the laughs from this film depend on a basic knowledge of filmmaking - my favorite being that Warren uses a reaction shot from a zombie, which, of course, shows no reaction.
