Z-grade trash from 1965. It was on cable last night and boyo, what a stinker. Laugh out loud nonsense, and so much stock footage that it was nearly unbearable (excepting the unintentional laughs).

There were times where this character's makeup was crumbling so much that it looked like his hair was about to explode outward, lashing everyone on the set.

I spent a good three minutes just laughing at this poor guy, who didn't look very comfortable at all (to his credit):



I had never heard about this film before now, and am shocked that it didn't end up on MST3K!

What are your favorite, side-splitting Z movies?

Prince of Space and Space Mutiny are my favorites.

Got to love the accent that wandered all over the globe.

Was it Russian? Yiddish? German? Or just bad Canadian?

But I'll forever cherish the three minutes of solid laughter at Dr. Nadir...

I salute thee!

And I wish I had MST3K's version of Colossal Man...some killer jokes in that one.

My personal favorite is in "War Of The Colossal Beast," after they've parked the tranquilizer-laced van full of bread and Glenn Manning is snackin' on it, and he pauses for a moment and looks at the rock they're hiding behind and they yell:

OH NO! We smell like BREAD!

:rofl:

:rofl:

The original audio track was "lost" so they had to dub in narration. I've heard varying stories about that - the director threw it into Salt Lake, the sound supervisor threw it into the lake... etc.

Monster was a tarp that started with two people under it... you can even see the sneakers... and would get stuck on every rock and branch in the area. Once it ate a bunch of the extras, there were more people under the tarp and it moved much better... although you could still see the occasional sneaker underneath.

Then there is Day of the Lepus. Killer bunnies. With De Forrest Kelly looking at something on the ground and saying "It's dead...(insert name here)".

Actually, if I could find copies of either of these I would be very happy. I heard that MST did do Creeping Terror but not Day of the Lepus.

Check them out if you get a chance. They are both hysterical.

And I've only seen clips of the "Creeping Terror". I'd love to have that on DVD!

when Neo is waiting to meet the Oracle and doing the spoon thing - The Matrix? Have to wonder what that was about.

...but YES, absolutely, it belongs on the list.

:toast:

Now on DVD.

...but yes, it should be on the list.
