I couldn't get past the first twenty minutes of this blurry, black-and-white, overdone spoof of wartime matinée thrillers. The Nazis, having captured an American flier, put him through experiments involving bee venom. It backfires and he escapes to become "Yellowjacket," scourge of Nazi spies, saboteurs, slobs, and pederasts back in the good old U.S. of A.
Everything about the movie is shoddy and cheap. I know it's supposed to be like that because this is a "spoof", right? But it wasn't funny. It was impossible to get caught up in the comic-book story. I cared for none of the characters played by deliberately incompetent actors. A painful thing to watch, though not, I suppose, as bad as being an experimental subject in a study of bee venom. It looks as if it might have been a lot of fun to make, but the fun ended for me when the production wrapped.
If you find this sort of thing amusing, then rent it or buy it. But whatever virtues the film might have, got past me entirely. Think twice.
