I bet 90% of you people came here because you searched for a specific word, and i don't mean "Boss". What's wrong with you people!!

I was just shocked when I saw the title.

I was looking on a torrent site and saw an old 50's monster movie listed so I looked it up:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051948/

Then I clicked on the director of said monster movie "Jack Arnold" and scanned down his resume...BOSS *beep* jumps out lol.

Maybe I'll check it out, I've never watched a 70's blaxploitation flick. The closest I've came is Samuel L. Jackson movies. I recall Fred Williamson from "Dusk till Dawn" and he was pretty good in that as a small character.

No I came here, because a long time ago my friends and I stumbled upon this movie in the used video section of a record store.

My friend Naomi, couldn't resist and had to buy the movie. We ended up laughing our asses off while heavily drunk, and I today I figured I wanted to learn more about the movie.

I heard of this film a few years ago when I went to a grindhouse film festival in Prescott, Arizona and they were showing retro trailers for 70s action films and this film was among them. I just wanted to see if it was a real movie or if the trailer was a sick parody.

Thanks for providing the link. The trailer looked so ridiculous I initially didn't believe it was a real movie!

I was looking at the IMDB list of movies made in 1975 sorted by those that had the most votes.

I then went to this board because I was wondering how the movie could be rated PG given its title.

I'm a huge David Lynch fan, and I'm really interested in the lost 'Eraserhead' deleted scenes. Many of the actors credited in the film's credits aren't actually in the film, because Lynch cut 25 minutes of footage from the camera negative VERY close to release. One of the credited non-appearing actors is V. Phipps-Wilson who played Henry's Landlady. One of her only other two credited film roles was this film. I did a double-take, then clicked to see what on EARTH this was.
