Title: Vampire Men of the Lost Planet Post by: GT on November 25, 2006, 04:09:49 PM Man this movie STINKS!
Now i love B-movies but i don't even think MST 3000 could save this one. It just doesn't have ANYTHING going for it, especially the special effects. Save your 2 dollars for something else, (something with atleast an ounce of story like Burning Moon-classic German gore!). Title: Vampire Men of the Lost Planet Post by: David Fullam on May 03, 2001, 11:30:33 AM The late Al Adamson will always be my all time favorite B Movie director. I sure hope this totally off the wall classic will get the DVD treatment like several other Adamson films have. If so, I hope it has a commentary from producer Sam Sherman, because I am very interested in the origins of the Filipino cave man footage.
Title: Vampire Men of the Lost Planet Post by: Byron on November 25, 2006, 04:10:12 PM All hail Andrew B.! That is, indeed, the Tagalog word for "vampire", correct spelling and all. If they'd landed on the island of Cebu, they'd be "onggo".
My beloved wife, a movie-hound of the first magnitude, is from Cebu City, and provided the reference for me. Apparently, stuff like this oddity of a movie clouds their late-night TV, too, and it provides them the same nyuk-nyuks as it does us. I would think it's a clear sign that 30% unemployment leaves people desperate for entertainment! Title: Vampire Men of the Lost Planet Post by: Jeffery Weskamp on November 25, 2006, 04:10:12 PM Adamson developed the "chromatic radiation" plot device to hide the fact that most of the stock footage he borrowed was from black-and-white movies. I will admit that this is the most creative technique I have ever heard of to cut expenses in a B-Movie production. You almost have to admire his ingenuity! Now if he could only have been more creative in directing and writing his movies.... Title: Vampire Men of the Lost Planet Post by: IT on November 25, 2006, 04:09:49 PM One of the worst B movies I'VE ever scene.I did enjoy the lobsterman he was the most convincing creature in the whole movie.The batmen and the tribe with the rubber snakes sticking out of their necks was a joke.It even tried to steal the cinamagic effect from the ANGRY RED PLANET but it didn't look good here it just added to the torture of watching this horrible mess.And whats even more stupid is that these idiots are bringing a virus to earth that could wipe us out why the hell didn't they wear space suits on the planet or have a decontamination chamber on the ship instead the scientice said the virus will die in our atmosphere what if he's wrong oh yeah by the way I love the beautiful cave girl other then that a terrible movie.
Title: Vampire Men of the Lost Planet Post by: BobGorelick on November 25, 2006, 04:09:03 PM the filipino caveman footage seems to come from a flick by Rolf Bayer: Tagani (1965).
Now where to find that thing.... Title: Vampire Men of the Lost Planet Post by: Bob Gorelick on November 25, 2006, 04:09:03 PM edit. Presumably it is a VAMPIRE caveman flick
hehehe Title: Re: Vampire Men of the Lost Planet Post by: MR WEREWOLF! on May 12, 2008, 10:03:55 PM This movie confused the hell out of me as a kid! First its a vampire movie then a Sci fi movie then a Caveman flick! The director didnt know what he wanted it to be! A terrible movie but I admit the lobster man ruled!!!
Title: Re: Vampire Men of the Lost Planet Post by: vanightwolf on October 09, 2008, 10:16:18 AM If vampirism came from outer space millions of years ago, why at the end of the film does John Carradine tells the vampire virus can't live in Earth's atmosphere? Ten-second memory span, anyone?
Title: Re: Vampire Men of the Lost Planet Post by: Theodorian on January 07, 2009, 06:57:21 PM I find it a gross miscarriage of justice that you fail to credit Brother Theodore for his magnificent, heartfelt narration at the beginning of this film.
Title: Re: Vampire Men of the Lost Planet Post by: Keith on June 22, 2010, 09:43:20 PM I am the proud owner of the DVD for this movie. At the main menu, the cue to start the movie says, "Begin the Bloodsucking". I think it would be more appropriate if instead it read, "Start the Sucking". :bouncegiggle:
