Written by Ed Wood, Revenge of Dr. X is an abysmal story about a verbally abusive NASA a-hole, James Craig as Dr. Bragan NOT Dr. X, who grunts and screams his way into an emotional breakdown. With a much needed vacation coming up, hopefully permanent, Dr. Nakamura suggests to the loudmouth Bragan that he should visit his home country of Japan. After the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the arrival of Dr. Bragan becomes the third greatest foreign tragedy on Japanese soil. Dr. Bragan uses this time to pursue his true passion of botany with Dr. Nakamura's niece Noriko. His piece de resistance is a Venus's flytrap he procured from a backwater snake salesman's lot in North Carolina. Using the "rain as your mother" and "lightning as your father" the bad doctor descends into insanity as he creates, quite possibly, the dumbest creature in movie history. This Frankenstein ripoff even comes with a Japanese hunchbacked assistant.
James Craig not only allows the viewer to watch him chew the scenery but also to defecate it out as well. I've never seen a character so abrasive to everyone around him. He constantly screams at his assistant Noriko who in turn offers him coffee to placate him in every instance. I know some Asian women are subservient to their male counterparts but I was begging her to liberate his fat head from his body via a samurai sword. The creature is definitely of the Horror at Party Beach caliber. The only reason this did not receive a rank of one star is the out of nowhere scene of topless female divers that is thrown into the movie almost to say we know this movie sucks so here's some boobs, please don't turn this movie off! For Ed Wood fans that are gluttons for punishment only.
