Eventually he and Jesse meet up with local do-gooder Alex (Las La Rue), and after surviving another alien attack, the three of them realize it's time to go on the offensive - and witht he help of trick shooting and loads of dynamite, they finally blow the aliens from the face of the earth.<p> <p>Though <b>Alien Outlaw</b> might be regarded as a precursor for <b>Predator</b> with quite some justification, it's actually also a pretty dull piece of film, spending way too little time with the actual plot - the fight against threee hunter-aliens - and way too much time with its backstory, that basically revolves around Jesse Jamison's career move and is totally pointless. Sure the combination of sci-fi and Western elements is not without charm and the skimpy costume of Kari Anderson is at least worth a look or two (especially since she's got the figure to fill it), but in all, this is too little to really save the film.<p>A note for B-Western fans: While Lash La Rue does indeed play one of the leads of <b>Alien Outlaw</b>, the appearances of both Sunset Carson and Bill Cody are short and pointless and placed within the first ten minutes of the film. <p>  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top" height="1%">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2008"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
