This race against time in form-fitting plastic leotards pits a multinational crew of earthlings against a league of androids following the orders of a wicked empress determined to rule the galaxy.

When Professor Carr and his assistant Lois are kidnapped by the evil robots, Captain John Boyd and his intrepid crew must save them. Why? The Professor has invented a machine that can create artificial life, and the robots want it to save their endangered planet. But really, you don't need to know what this movie's about. And in fact, the less you know the better. Good sci-fi produces mind-boggling effects, one of which should always be innovative laser-swords and high-speed spaceship fights. My favorite part was about 93 minutes in, when Roger the fighter pilot is killed but half a minute later, clips of him shown earlier are repeated again. The Italian Film Industry has created a real gem with this one.





Hilariously Horrendous Camp Classic!

Large star-shaped aliens travel to earth in hopes of warning them about an oncoming catastrophe. To prevent panic about their appearance, one alien takes the form of a popular singer.

Humans are in grave danger, and only the Pairans can help. Starfish aliens with an eyeball on their stomachs from Paila detect a rogue planet headed straight for Earth, and send a fleet to warn humanity. But first, they must make contact, and why not do it as Japanese popstar Hikari Aozora? At first, humanity doesn't listen, but the Earth gets hotter and hotter, and weather changes cause mass destruction. Finally, mankind comes together to encourage Professor Kamura to create a super-nuclear element called Duriun to destory the rogue planet. A heartwarming tale of universal brotherhood of humankind and not judging other creatures solely on the basis of their physical appearance, told through the eyes of a giant starfish. Fun fact, this was the first color science-fiction film from Japan! It's also based on a novel by Gentarô Nakajima, which was in turn based on the Japanese folktale Kaguya-hime.





Touching, Heartwarming, Fun for The Whole Family!

The Brain That Wouldn't Die


1962
Director

Why is there a monster in the closet?

A scientist and his girlfriend are out for a joyride when his speeding causes a fatal car crash. Although he escapes unharmed, his girlfriend is decapitated. Refusing to let her go, he saves her head, keeps it alive, and then proceeds to stalk models and strippers for the perfect replacement body. Oh, and he has a crippled assistant who watches over the girlfriend's head as she talks, and apparently has a telekinetic connection to a monster kept in the closet.... Sure... ok. The acting is absolutely wretched, the production values are barely worth pennies, the script is dull, the dialogue is even more nonsensical than the plot, and you'll need a pen and paper to keep track of the continuity errors. Really. The opening credits show the title "THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE," however the end credits show the title as "THE HEAD THAT WOULDN'T DIE." Apparently, this film was so distasteful in 1959 that several cuts and the passage of three years was required before it was released in 1962. Despite how fun the effects may appear, this film is a painful and disturbing look at early 1960s American pop sexuality, told from the viewpoint of a woman kept alive so she can be forced to continue living with her boyfriend.





Unserious and Unimpressive!
