Extra footage for overseas.


Does anyone know where the extra beach scene that was filmed for the overseas market can be obtained from?

I've made it my goal to view the unedited versions of all the MST 3000 films, and this is one of the pieces of footage that has eluded me for a while.

I know it's a long shot that any record of it still is intact, but I thought i'd post to check, anyway.

Sirry Steffen is sexy and she did a nude scene for foreign versions of The Crawling Hand.

Then this is the movie i thought it was. When I was a kid about 15 or 16, this movie was presented on an afternoon movie program hosted by a clown ( I don't think it was on the movie hosted by Superhost here in Cleveland, as I remember a clown costume. There was a strip scene that took place when th female lead went behind a rock to change into her swimsuit. The camera followed her. Within minutes the movie was stopped and the clown came out and apologized profusely. he pointed out they hadn't screened the movie first and of course movies were not rated yet. He also stated it was a foreign film and that they had different sensibilities about nudity. I don't recall any fallout from this incident. At that age I was quite happy with the scene and thought it made the otherwise cheesy movie worth it.

That sounds like "Flippo The Clown", he hosted an afternoon program back in the day featuring films and the idiotic antics of the host. It was broadcast out of Columbus, Ohio and aired at 4:00 pm each weekday. Used to watch that moron religiously as a kid.

Sounds right. I was in Springfield then, and watched a lot of Columbus TV, especially Flippo.
