You're absolutely right, but obliterating it is more entertaining.

Good point. Let's stick to treating these things as ironically factual. If we start listing "offenses" and talking about what is and isn't possible, this could go from a fun little tongue-in-cheek thread into gloomy WyreWizard ranting.

Giant prehistoric monsters of all sorts, but mostly dinosaurs, can live for hundreds of millions of years frozen in Arctic ice with no ill effects.

Or sometimes it's cavemen (Dinosaurus!) or it could be an alien frozen in a block of ice (The Thing From Another World).

All forms of alien life can reproduce with humans.

In fact, many aliens go out of their way to do so.

Put a woman under enough stress and you'll trigger her primary defensive mechanism (ie- scream and then faint) -- from almost every creature feature made in the 1950's.

Also, all reptiles are carnivores or at least aggressive.

I once knew a guy who had an iguana that preferred bean and cheese burritos from Taco Bell.

Indeed, human females are attractive to most species, terrestrial or otherwise.

Actually in many 1950s creature features, men are just as prone to screaming as women. Women just do it more effectively in general.

Monsters are more vulnerable to fire extinguishers than other weapons.

Metallic sodium will burn monsters to a crisp, but you can fling it with your hands.

Godzilla is impervious to bullets, rockets, missiles, and fire, but not electricity.

Yeah, but it was rare that the guys would follow through with the fainting bit.

It takes all of 2 or 3 minutes to create a breathable atmosphere on mars, and if your eyes are popping out because of the no atmosphere thing, they will go back in with no ill effects as the Atmosphere is created.  Lookingup

Total Recall FTW

I was too busy wondering why aliens would build such a vast machine, set it up to start with one button anybody can walk in and push, and then, you know, not bother turning it on.

That and I was still laughing at "Gif dis pipple ear." TeddyR

Practically every 1950s space or rocket mission was threatened by a meteor shower or storm and nearly every planet was inhabited by leggy women with very few if any men around. If there are men around, they're usually older guys too.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
