What happens when a filmmaker starts making a movie, runs out of money, then sells the film to another director who "completes" it five years later? Monster-A-Go-Go happens!
"I'll give you a topic- Monster-A-Go-Go has no monster and features no go go dancing, discuss."
Famed Schlockmeister Bill Rebane started filming this movie in the early sixties, expecting to take advantage of the horror film craze, but quickly ran out of funds. Another director of lowbrow horror and nudie pics Herschell Gordon Lewis, desperate to find a film to pair with another movie of his, bought the footage and finished the film, despite only getting half of the cast to reprise their roles.
The result is a terrible mess; it's obvious that the film was slapped together. Characters mysteriously disappear, the narrator abruptly changes and the separate parts don't come close to fitting together. The worst part of the film has to be seen and heard to be believed; too cheap to have a sound effects crew, an actor is forced to make the sound of a ringing phone. And it doesn't come close to sounding realistic.
The "surprise" ending is even worse. SPOILER ALERT- there was no monster. No monster, no go go dancing, no dignity.
