This movie was a remake of the 1962 Cult Classic of the same Title. But while that movie accidently wandered into camp (to be mercilessly mocked by the likes of MST3K and Svengoolie) this remake decided to tack right into the wind and be intentionally camp.
Most of the acting is intentionally over the top. I realized what I was in for when during the first scene where the protagonist engages in a risky surgery to bring a man back from the dead, and it features Monty Python comical blood spurts.
The jokes are cheap, but I laughed at them, so I guess they were effective.
Additional characters and scenes are added to pad out the story, including the world's worst detective, and several prostitutes who avoid becoming Jan in the Pan's Body Donor.
I will give credit to the actress who played Jan in the Pan. (I didn't come up with that name, MST3K did.) She takes the role seriously and delivers her lines with a straight face while everyone else is massively overacting.
Is it worth watching? Sure, good for a laugh.
