Eegah

Richard Kiel plays the title-named creature--a misplaced caveman found living in the California mountains near Palm Springs. A low-budget mess photographed by Vilis Lapeneicks, who later shot Nancy Sinatra's "Movin With Nancy" and the acclaimed "Cisco Pike". Still, criticizing it too harshly would be like tripping a midget; it has been made with all the know-how these filmmakers seem to possess. The people who discover Eegah are an uproarious lot (a kid with too much Brylcreem in his hair, a brassy young woman who sort of resembles Frances McDormand, and an overweight daddy in tweed suits and a thin little mustache). Kiel roams the streets in full caveman regalia (holding a big plastic club with a thorn in it) looking into store windows--at those sexy mannequins!--while on the trail of his woman who apparently has a scent that drives cavemen crazy. She's busy getting down at the local pool party. Calling 007! *1/2 from ****

Even though this film is one of the worst movies of all time and has terrible acting, a bad plot, and awful dialog, I love it. I have been watching Eegah since I was a very young kid after we got it as a joke present from my uncle. It is so bad it is very fun to watch and I must have seen it at least 50 times over the course of my life! There is a certain sweetness about the film and the characters that makes it interesting, and by the end of the film you really will grow to to like the giant, Eegah, who despite his menacing appearance, is a nice guy. I have such great memories of this movie and while it is terrible, Eegah remains a very special film for me and all of my family.

Thanks to this movie, I had Arch Hall Jr's terrible singing voice singing about Vicky for a week. It almost drove me mad. If your one who easily gets songs stuck in ones head, this is a movie you would do well to avoid. Other than that, it had some real camp value.. Not enough Go-Go Dancing though.

I agree with Dave Sagehorn's review in Bad Movie Nights. See it by clicking the Reviews button. I saw this at a U.S. Naval Station theatre when it came out in 1962 for an admission charge of ten cents. It was overpriced. It was so bad that the sailors enjoyed booing, hissing, cheering, and throwing empty popcorn boxes at the screen at appropriate moments (you don 't get to share such moments with home video). Years later, on the radio I heard a review of a book called "The 100 Worst Movies of All Time". The movie that the author rated as the No. 1 Worst Movie of all time was Eegah! On the IMDb ratings search, only 23 other movies have ratings that equal or fall below the 2.1 user rating achived by Eegah! So this is not just a bad movie. It is so flamboyantly bad that it has earned a permanent niche in the history of the cinema. I recommend it only if you and a group of friends are in the mood to hiss, boo, and throw popcorn boxes.

This movie is currently #57 on the bottom 100. The reason why is because this is a D.B.P. D.B.P. means death by premise. People looked at this film's IMDb page, looked at the premise, and voted a one star rating just despite never seeing it. Yes the films premise is stupid, but if you actually watch this movie you'll see how it is not a bad movie. I was watching it thinking that it would be awful, but I was really surprised by what I got. Its got nice acting, nice cinematography, nice characters, a good entertainment value, and it is a well told story of beauty and beast. So I am pleading to the people reading this review to watch this movie. Look past the fact that the premise is idiotic, and enjoy a good movie. 3 stars out of 4

Eegah taught me a lot of things about life. It taught me how to love, it taught me how to hate, and it taught me how to paaaarrrrtttaaaaayyyy! If you love to get down and dance the night away, then have we got a movie for you! Never once, have I seen so many fantastic elements combined to create such a pristine film. The only word that can describe it is "Eegah!" After watching this movie several times, I finally realized the hidden message behind the word eegah. Eegah is an acronym, and goes as follows. E-Ecstatic-my mood after watching this movie E-Envisioned-this film captures everything a film should G-Gay-this movie made me the happiest I've ever been in my life A-Archie Hall Jr. and Sr.-that dynamic duo that just wouldn't quit making me smile H-Hell-I'd go to Hell before giving up my copy of 'Eegah'
