SHITE SCI FI

XTRO



That was supposed to be scary, but it was bad. But it's still really really weird movie, with alien phallus pumping liquid into a chick.

Metalstorm - Bobby's called a big one! Again, it is the legend!

It's got Tim Thomerson, which already elevates this flick to the top echelon of 80's goodness. Kelly (Mrs. John Travolta) Preston, and the almighty fury that is Richard (Bull) Moll. Damn flick's got so much going on in it, you're never bored.

Bobby also nailed it with the vibe one would get when perusing videotape boxes at the local video store. Oh, the box art promised you all sorts of pleasures beyond imagination, but most times what you got was shit. But such glorious shit!

ETA: XTRO!!!!! Well done, Martin! See also Breeders and Humanoids from the Deep, too!

Next: A Cavalcade of Corman!

Galaxy of Terror

Englund. Haig. Uniforms akin to Rebel pilots. Nutzo off-world horrors and an alternate title as cool as Mindwarp: An Infinity of Terror add up to keep this just the right side of unwatchable. As if the infamous scene wasn't uncomfortable enough, knowing Corman wanted it to be even more graphic makes you wonder just how disgusting the uncensored version was. There are some things we really are better off not knowing.

Dead Space

Marc Singer (as a starship pilot called Krieger... KRIEGER!), his trusty robot sidekick Tinpan (!!!) and Bryan Cranston battle a lurching space foe and almost non-existent budget in this leanest of B-fare - 80 minutes. You know it makes sense, against all the odds.

The Terror Within

Alien in a desert. That's pretty much it on the surface, yet the end result amounts to so much more thanks to solid performances (including George Kennedy) and a great late 80's aesthetic of big hair and even bigger cheese. There are actually a few decent scares and some truly gruesome gore to boot. Just talking about this makes me wanna stick it on again.

Tim: bravo on your Caroline Munro retort earlier by the way. Truly, she is Starcrash's greatest redeeming feature.

I will PWN this thread

2019: After the Fall of New York
A cheap italian post-apocalyptic movie featuring a hero that has to save the last fertile woman on Earth. Yeah... cheap ain't enough for that one

Cyber Ninja
Produced by Namco. Futuristic ninjas and shit and snooze.

Nemesis
Oh you really think this looks cool, as it was directed by Albert Pyun, but it wasn't. A poor Robocop/Cyborg clone (my mind melted writing that one up) with a poor Van Damme Wannabee Olivier Gruner.

XTRO

I'd never heard of this one before, but it looks so very right.

Metalstorm - Bobby's called a big one! Again, it is the legend!

Thank you, sir! I love that we were doing the same thing as nippers on either side of The Pond, by the way. Maybe you fine folks can help me remember the name of a movie I wanted to see back then but never got around to. The cover looked a bit like Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future - dude in shiny (probably tinfoil) "armour" wielding a laser pistol in a darkened environ. Pretty sinister looking, definitely not for the tikes. That's about all I can recall and I know it isn't terribly specific, but any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

This thread actually pwns us all.

Bobby, XTRO is worth a look for it's random sex scenes featuring Myriam D'aBo and it's ending and those empregnating alien phalluses.

Agreed...

Live action anime tentacle porn.

[Bobby Bear]

If it helps at all, I'd say the flick in question was from the mid to late 80's and most likely from the Band/New World mould.

ETA: thanks for the recommendation, fellas! She's under a fiver from Amazon! Are we talking Galaxy of Terror levels of WHATISHAPPENING here?

[Martin]

Look, it ain't a GOOD movie, hence my nomination here, but it's worth a rental or a five buck I'd say.

Rrrrrrreally?

[Martin]

Worth a look, not planning an evening around it.
