Greaser's Palace (1972)

An American acid western directed by Robert Downey Sr.
A frontier town is run by a constipated saloon owner. A Jesus character arrives and performs miracles.
Very strange and funny. It is listed as an acid western and I think it fits the genre well. The rambling plot and religious references would seem more at home in Alejandro Jororowsky's catalog if the humor did not seem like it was written by Tom Green. The Jesus character was great and the suffering woman was unique to the western genre. When the space man talent agent showed up, even I found it a little too absurd. It seems that the only people who liked this wrote about it on IMDB. I rate it awesome for uniqueness alone. Watch it.
