Todd Scheve I believe you gain a better appreciation for good movies if you watch some of the worst films ever produced. This is a movie that will do that for you. Afterwards, you'll appreciate scripts, lighting, editing, effects, and well-written characters presented by actors who wouldn't be rejected by the Screen Actor's Guild.Watching this was akin to being in a dentist chair and checking the clock on the wall constantly to see how much longer your appointment is. Worse than all morning Saturday School in the 10th grade. This is the first movie that I can recall wanting every single character to die painfully. The highlights of the film were the execution scenes & credits. Only recommended for movie masochists who want to put another notch in their "seen it" list above "baby geniuses 2" and below "troll 2".
TheLittleSongbird There is a good indication of whether a movie is bad if it's featured on MST3K and if it's on the bottom 100. Both of those cases apply to Night Train to Mundo Fine, a movie that has a reputation for being one of the worst movies ever made and is one that lives up to that reputation. It is a memorable movie, but as said in the review summary unfortunately it isn't for the right reasons. What is further unfortunate is that Night Train to Mundo Fine is also one of those movies where it is next to impossible to be entertained by it, because you spend the whole duration infuriated by how incompetently done it is. If there was anything that was remotely decent, no matter how small, it was the theme song which is actually pretty good. The editing and camera work however look like a real amateur's job, it's poorly lit, shot in a jumbled way and edited in a way that suggests the editor being drunk. The story is even worse, when it wasn't being so jumbled in structure and so tedious in pacing- though not quite as badly as Manos, Monster A-Go Go and The Creeping Terror- there was hardly even one. The dialogue is sheer laziness and reeks of cheese and you are never emotionally invested in the characters(as a matter of fact the only emotion for them that you feel is annoyance). To say that the direction is flat is being too kind, and the acting is some of the worst acting you'll ever witness, most look as though they're not even trying to act. All in all, so poorly done in every area apart from the theme song, no entertainment to be had in it whatsoever. 1/10 Bethany Cox
Lee Eisenberg "Night Train to Mundo Fine", aka "Red Zone Cuba", is one of the numerous movies only known today thanks to "Mystery Science Theater 3000". The incoherent plot has some criminals who participate in the Bay of Pigs invasion. That's supposedly the plot, but only a few minutes of the movie take place in Cuba, after which the characters go on a crime spree in the southwest US. Yeah, try and figure that one out. The person playing Fidel Castro looks as much like him as celery looks like lava. Basically, the movie itself could be a metaphor for how well planned - not to mention how successful - the actual invasion was. As Crow puts it, "I want to hurt this movie but I can never hurt it the way it hurt me." So, if in fact you want to see it, just watch the "MST3K" version, as well as the show's version of that other Coleman Francis fiasco "The Skydivers". How cruel of Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank to make Mike, Servo and Crow watch this.
bensonmum2 Do you know what's worse than a movie directed by Coleman Francis? A movie directed by and starring Coleman Francis. I simply cannot imagine anyone watching this thing without the Mystery Science Theater 3000 commentary. I'm a fan of "bad" movies, but Red Zone Cuba would be too much on its own. A nonsensical plot involving a Cuban invasion, the worst acting imaginable, and editing that looks as if it were done by monkeys are just a few of the "highlights". I defy anyone to find a frame of this movie that in some way isn't flawed. Every moment presents a new and even more amazing decent into putrid film-making. I cannot see giving this abomination anything higher than a 1/10.But, with the MST3K commentary, Red Zone Cuba becomes absolutely hysterical. I laughed so hard during the film's second half that I had tears in my eyes. I'll put this episode near the top of my list of favorites. Episode #619 gets a 5/5 on my MST3K rating scale.
