Console best movie i've ever seen.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Steve Nyland (Squonkamatic) Nope. I am not going to do it. I refuse to get into the spirit of this awful little movie, which revealed itself very quickly as an homage to The Three Stooges when one of the characters has a bit of trouble with a high pressure water hose. In Curly's capable hands such physical comedy passes beyond just being funny into some sort of sublime expression of how futile & stupid life can be, and that the best advice anyone can offer another is to save string. Here it's just funny and provided me with the film's sole laugh. The rest of it was puzzling. At two times I "gave up" and went on to do something else with the precious time our grand creator has granted me here on earth. Life is short. The girls in the movie are tall, however, and I dig tall chicks. It can be like making love to a suspension bridge, so I went back both times to see what the film could come up with them to do, other than to look great in their space leotards. Trust me when I say that could be a whole movie just right there, though sadly they were not granted enough screen time to carry the day & the movie sucks.I kept wondering whom it was allegedly made for, what audience was in mind while it was being constructed from script to final edit. Children *might* be entertained by it. Lovers of campy overtly corny movies will need their own hard copy so they can plan theme parties where screening it is the focus of the evening. Anyone else should just stick with "Plan 9" which was intended to be a serious movie made by a filmmaker who demonstrated far more finesse with the form than anyone here shy of the ladies' costume designer. At least they got that right.How to put it ... I love "bad" movies, but they have to end up being bad with the best of intentions to make something meaningful. When you go out of your way to purposefully make a bad movie you are treading on thin ice. What makes the film so curious is that it was made in 1962 when such filmmaking was regarded with a certain amount of seriousness. It's pre-Elvira, suggesting that the film's creators were actually sort of ahead of their time in creating the same kind of crap that Elvira helped make fashionable. Which I despise, rooting for the underdogs that actually made their little movies for a few thousand dollars in spite of universal indifference & critical ridicule. Going right for the jugular of critical ridicule is nothing short of cheating and this movie left me annoyed enough to come here and crab about it. Sorry. 2/10

ctyankee1 Soldiers on a base near mountains go out to search for aliens. Two privates are the stars Philbrick/Bob Ball who is smaller but jerky and Penn/Frankie Ray. There is a lot of overacting but funny scenes.Philbrick has a water hose that goes out of control in the beginning of the movie. He squirts everything, himself and the other soldiers around him.They later talked their Colonel into letting them go look for aliens in a cave. The Colonel lets them go because him and Philbrick belong to the same club and are wearing the club rings. They find aliens, ones that look like tall vegetables but very strong who capture them.They later meet the two alien women in charge a professor and a doctor. The woman are tall and pretty. The men from their planet start off as plants grown by the women. Philbrick and Penn are attracted to them but the women are all business.Later Philbrick and Penn escape with the veggie men chasing them. They try to get help from some Indians on horses so they can stop the aliens invasion of earth.The Indians don't understand English. One of them does a little and does a dance which is so great and funny lots of turns, very talented. He also has a club ring like Philbrick. They all end up getting high by smoking a peace pipe and drinking something. The Indian dancer says "I don't smoke" but whatever it was they drank and smoked they all ended up laying on the ground later. This movie had some really funny part is in but very stupid language. Example: Their Sgt use words like "man, dig, hey man what's going on here, like man what's going on here, hey listen both you cats". The movie tries to use words that are supposed to be cool but are not. Other word like "chicks, babes. dolls, you send me, your cool, daddio, crazy man, getting hitched, like slaves" just did not seem right.The movie was funny but very immature and Philbrick talked a lot of baby talk and was hanging on Penn too much. It is a black and white movie made in 1962.The best part of the movie is the head Indian with a cowboy hat and long dark hair that did the dance. There was no name given to him so I could not find out who took the part. If anyone knows please let me know on the message board.

scorseseisgod-1 The hilarious trailer for this amateurish, ultra-low budget blend of comedy and Sci-fi became a cornerstone of my VHS library since USA Network's "Night Flight" first aired it back in the early 80's. "Look at these great big beautiful babes," says the, drooling, over-modulating 60's narrator. A revulsive Leo Gorcey wannabe puts the moves on a cute "galaxy gal" at least a foot taller than he is so his head is always at breast-level. All this and a hand-painted long shot of Cape Canaveral to boot! After ninety-seconds I was sold and had to track down a copy; this looked worse than as bad as they get. Rule of order - whenever a preview narrator feels the need to tell us that, "the laughs come fast and free," bet the opposite.The script was written by Roger Corman regular Jonathan Haze. It's original title, "Monsters from Nicholson Mesa," was aimed at poking fun at American International honcho James H. Nicholson. Haze, best remembered as Seymour Krelboyne in "Little Shop of Horrors," intended the script as a showcase for he and fellow Corman stalwart Dick Miller. Instead, we get two comics that make Ted Danson and Howie Mandel look like Laurel and Hardy. Frankie Ray (Penn) is all eyebrows, macho Brooklynese and lame one-liners. No one ads an extra syllable to the word "bay-be-ee" quite like Frankie does! His partner Robert Ball (Philbrick) is a nasal, infantile pansy. Get the potential for comedic contrast? Some stock footage and the trailer's narrator set the place at Fort Nicholson, the World's center for atomic research. We hear talk of "the world's greatest scientists working together" and "Our first line of defense" only to cute-cut to a couple of "hand-picked" expert yardbirds that can't even handle a garden hose. If you didn't already take a hint from the (Wow!) placed next to two bimbo's names in the credits, this is the level of humor you can anticipate over the next hour.The staging is mortifying. Stop the camera, move it 45-degrees to the right and restart the actors from where they left off. You want laughs? Stuck a guy in a garbage can, make sure the "No Smoking" sign blinds the audience, light up a cigar, toss it in the trash after you spot an officer coming and wait for the howls. A pacifist soldier weeps over killing a rattlesnake. Stupefying impressions of Warner Bros.' gangsters. Toy rayguns with dime store funnels jammed in the barrels. Not one original joke or concept and even worse, the filmmakers still can't figure out an acceptable way to present them.While the duo goldbricks, their platoon explores a cave containing a race of extra-terrestrial tree people; stiff, burlap-clad, button-eyed extras acting scary with outstretched arms. They direct the boys to a spaceship commanded by two Amazon playmates, Prof. Tanga (Gloria Victor, Wow!) and her assistant Dr. Puna (Dolores Reed Wow! Wow!). They hail from the non-existent but real sounding planet Chalar in the Belfar star system. For ten years the galaxy gals have been on earth perfecting a race of Vegemen that they grow in soil brought from their planet. The boys treat their abduction as if it were a first date. These Naugahyde-bikini cuties are out of this world! The looming Dr. Puna begs to be taught the language of love Philbrick-style. (Instead of re- recording Cyrano Penn's romantic play-by-play, you can hear him echoing just off-camera.) His kiss Wows! the Wow!Wow! and, using a cigarette lighter as a compass (don't ask), they make their escape. Borrowing from a cowboy film, they start a paper-mache boulder avalanche that fails to stop the oncoming "Spacetro Nuts." The "broads" call them off and Capt. Awol, a character I had hoped we were done with, is brought back into play. I suppose the filmmakers thought were playing around with genre when all of a sudden a group of Indians arrive on horseback. This allows room for plenty of "kemosabe" and "peace pipe" jokes to pad the scant running time.After catching a buzz, the boys return to the ship. Philbrick saves the world by accidentally launching the spaceship. Puna's (Poon?) hots for the earth-man convinces Tanga to, "in the interest of science," kiss Penn. "Stand by for a charge, Bay-bee-ee!" Equating love with slavery, the dames return to earth, become suburban housefraus and wave at stock footage while their beaus are honored. A gypsy violin plays as the foursome drive off in a '57 Thuderbird with "The End" written on the spare.A couple of short retardates cracking wise with busty babes. This sub-Neanderthal material doesn't even have the makings of a funny Playboy cartoon. It was released a few month's prior to the Kennedy assassination. Oswald not only killed JFK, his timing forever punctured the Rat Pack ethos and put a dent in Hefner's swingin' sixties philosophy. The compositions are even more offensive than the blatant sexism. Even letterboxed there's enough room to park another feature at the top of the frame. At best, a relic from another era.

Hwrightca This movie is on the top of my list for must get a copy of!! My TV tape is long since been worn out. I would love to find a good copy on DVD.Many people mentioned the stereotypes and how offensive it is...geez...its kinda the point with this movie. I mean when the alien chick pulls the "kiss? What's kiss?" line, you gotta know they were going for parody city here!My favorite thing is the long pauses between dialog with Philbert and the poor mic treatment. It sounds like they had only one boom for a huge room so everyones voices are picked up at different levels...pretty funny.I give this one two snaps in Z formation. It is that good!
