Zone Troopers Nerds Unite!

First rented this when I was a kid, later bought a used copy from the video store. This is a real good movie, one of the best from Empire Pictures. Stars the cast of TRANCERS, that's awesome.

As far as I know MGM owns the rights. I doubt too that the movie will come to DVD anytime soon.

Smell that fine Virginia tobacca

Say is that the Zippo General Patton give ya ? WOW


Great movie

There are large grasshopper-looking aliens in "Quatermass and the Pit" aka "Five Million Years to Earth". They REALLY look like grasshoppers! AND, they're supposed to be from Mars.

I've always thought it looked rather like early images of "Bug-Eyed Monsters' (BEM) from old sci fi magazines. It does have an insect-like look.

I was almost 40 when this movie was released.

One of the things I really liked about it was the look-and-feel of the old style comic books and pulp magazines of that era. — And someone remembered the common peoples' level of scientific knowledge in 1944; and that, except for a few biggies like H.G. Wells and Jules Verne, science fiction was a very small niche genre, nowhere near mainstream. (Of course, it was those young science fiction readers of the 1940s who became the scientists of the 1950s and 60s.)

Sorry I didn't see your post until 2½ years later, but I'm really happy your prediction proved to be in error — "Zone Troopers" has, indeed, been released on DVD and is even available for viewing online if you have a Netflix account.

There is a HD transfer around now as it has been shown on HDTV in native HD not upscaled. Hopefully a BD release will follow

I have just seen it on the Classic Cinema channel on You Tube.
