I look forward to the 3 waves of action figures soon to be out.

Wave 1
Mansquito (sans wings).
Detective (Corin Nemec - sorry, didn't even pay attention to his name)
Jennifer (human)

Wave 2
Ray (the convict before becoming our hero, the Mansquito)
the other Detective who bites it.
Evil corporate Leader

Wave 3 (Deluxe)
Deluxe Mansquito (with wings and dripping blood)
Deluxe Detective with Taser and Rocket Launcher
Deluxe Jennifer (half mansquito, with electrical coil and a taste for human blood).

"HEY MANSQUITO!" They were hunting for a cure, now they're hunting a monster! It's the action-packed, high-flying, blood-sucking world of a man-turned-mosquito! It's... Mansquito!

Recreate your favorite Mansquito moments with the NEW science lab and hospital playsets, with awesome "exploding" action features! And the NEW discotheque playset comes complete with bloody disco ball! ("Look behind you, it's Mansquito!")

Add to the body count with the NEW Mansquito victim multi-packs! Choose from cops, bums, and discotheque workers! Or get them all! ("AAAHHHH!!!")

And now Mansquito can hit the road with the NEW Mansquitomobile! Wind-up action! Missile launchers! And cool transforming features! ("Follow that Mansquito!")

He's part-man, part-mosquito, and all-criminal! Bring him to justice! Add to your collection today! ("Suck on THIS, Mansquito!")

Mansquito! Vehicles, playsets, and action figures sold separately!

By Marx!

And I want those action figures. Gimme Gimme!

Yeah, the only way you can get boys to play with dolls is to call them "action figures".

"the other Detective who bites it." is actually played by a buddy of mine. I would do my happy dance nude in public for a Jonas Talkington Action figure!

The best part was that he actually turned around, as if to say "Hey, how'd you know my name?"

Memorable moments from the man/woman/mansquito love triangle tale:

The cop in the convict's transport complaining about the "Damn mosquitos!" (Because there's a lot of MOSQUITOS flying around... You know... MOSQUITOS?")

"Sign here please." "And I need you to sign this!" "Oh yeah, well, I need you to sign THIS!" "Oh yeah??"

When you witness a bloody shoot-out at work, and a colleague gets killed, the first thing you wanna do is go home, take a hot shower, brush your teeth, and down a tall glass of OJ.

"I'm holding you personally responsible! I won't let you forget about this!"

"You make me sick!"

"Would you like that medium?"
"No, make it rare... very rare."
"Very well, ma'am."
"No, very rare!"

"He's more mosquito than man now."

After starring in this movie, I guess Parker Lewis can lose...

You know, in a strange way I'm going to miss those Mansquito trailers on the Sci-Fi channel. As the title of this thread says, "Hey! Mansquito!".

Next time it comes on I want to record it. They had me at the title "MANSQUITO!" XD

Oh, I'm sure the collectors edition DVD of this will be out soon. Disk 2, the making of Mansquito has a hour long documentary about how they sprayed it with water so it would look all moist.

I'm under the impression this was a direct-to-video deal that Sci-Fi just bought, despite the "Sci-Fi Original" tag. But for those interested in watching it again (or for the first time), they're repeating it this Thursday night, the 17th.

Looking at some particular scenes again on my digital recorder is great fun... Like the moment where the black SWAT guy fires away at the dark room, stops, and tries to express shock and horror as Mansquito approaches off-screen. And has anyone even brought up the fact that the movie actually had the Hero send in a SWAT team?

As someone in a newsgroup put it, I'm glad I live in a world where a movie like "Mansquito" can be made.

"MAKE THE CALL!"

I'm fairly certain thefuzzyhulk was being sarcastic.

Doesn't negate the possibility that this has already been out on VHS somewhere out there.

reply

[–] spookyhead 19 years ago

okay, but thats not even my point. thefuzzyhulk wasn't being serious about a 2-hour long documentary on how they made Mansquito look moist.

on a side note, if it has been on VHS how would they premiere it on Sci-Fi? It was a Sci-Fi Original, not a repeat of some unknown movie. They make these a dime a dozen.

And how would they fit a 2-hour long documentary on a VHS tape? That would need another tape, and let's face it, this ain't Gone With the Wind. It's MANSQUITO.

LOL! Never thought of that until now. Swat team....that's funny :)

This sucks. I'm working on a comic, and one of my characters was actually an ex-con called "The Man-Squito", but now I have to change his whole backstory, name, etc. Damn you, SciFi Channel!!!!!
