pretty *beep* classic...


i love bad films and i must say this one is awesome. bubble machines, gorilla suits, old school diver helmets, and the quote "very well i must re-calculate, your death will be indescribable". if you like 'so bad its bad' films definitely check this one out. anyone agree-disagree?

I first saw this disaster on a third rate tv station broadcast in NYC. I was eleven. I've never forgotten it. Ranks right up there with "Plan Nine" and "Polish Vampire".

I've never seen 'Polish Vampire', but I'll check it out.

I'm pretty found of SCHLOCK movies. I'm the person who likes Anaconda, House of the dead, catwoman and this movie... lol I haven't seen plan 9 YET, but I'm trying :-) I was laughing so much.

I LOVE ANGELINA JOLIE AND VERONIQUE CRAVEN (www.vero.tk)!!

I love old, cheesey films like this.

Can anyone recommend any others?

reply

I'd have to recommend "EEGAH!" starring Arch Hall, Jr. It was fimed in the same vicinity, BTW.

ROCKETSHIP X-M

"MANOS"- THE HANDS OF FATE

TIMECHASERS (aka TANGENTS.)

Beast of Yucca Flats
The Mole People
The Leech Woman
Night of the Blood Beast
The Astounding She-Monster
The Killer Shrews
Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster
The Atomic Submarine
Reptilicus
Latitude Zero
Horror of the Blood Monsters
Infra-Man
King Kong Escapes
Wild Women of Wongo
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
Mesa of Lost Women
Zontar, the Thing From Venus
The Phantom Planet
Monster a-Go Go
Santo Vs. The Martians
Godzilla Vs. Megalon

These have all provoked bouts of almost uncontrollable laughter (for me anyway). Several of them (and some other cheeseball gems including Robot Monster) are available in the 50 Classic Sci/Fi boxset which has 50 movies on 12 DVDs for $15-20 - a real steal. A few of them have never been put on DVD but they are worth searching for on VHS. Enjoy!
