This is a real underground classic! It's pretty close to being infamous. The action takes place in and around the Navajo reservation, but the "tribe" is not actually named. Two moments in the film stand out for most, one is the stew recipe, which I included as last year's Native themed recipe for the day (and yes, I've actually prepared it...I'm that crazy for older schlock!); and, two, that damn song "California Lady!" There is some mumbo-jumbo about Native American legends to do with lizards and then there is the meteor that just conveniently is dropping into the area...just in time to turn "a pale eyes" into a bipedal lizard creature, complete with special make by Rick Baker!
Below is the first part of the film from Mystery Science Theater 3000--hilarious!
