BadMovies.org Netflix streaming movie night?

Don't forget to punch him Paquita   

So, Star Pilot?  Sounds like it might be fun.  A guy on Netflix says "Imagine the dubbing quality of a bad Japanese monster movie combined with Ed Wood's frenetic dream of the perfect film, and you'll have some idea of what you're in for."

Watched Star Pilot last night.  Started out pretty dull but the last half hour was entertaining enough - mostly due to the sexy space "uniforms" the girls were wearing    It was sort of an interesting twist ending, rather unexpected in such a cheeseball movie.  I guess back in those days they used to write their own endings, instead of just following the formula that every other B movie "writer" follows these days.  The beginning reminded me of an old Godzilla movie, except with a hot girl filling in for the annoyingly loud male child character, which was very much appreciated.  Still, that part was so bad it was just bad.  Not bad enough to get me to turn it off though.  Overall, not a bad effort.  Probably not on the same level as stuff like Wild Wild Planet or The Snow Devils, but it was an interesting curiosity and I'm glad I saw it  

Oh, how could I forget - did they splice 5 minutes of a completely different movie into the middle of this thing?

We tried watching it last night too, but we had company and it was kind of hard to follow, so we're going to catch it again.  You're right though, it did start kind of slow so my attention drifted away, but then I looked up and saw space gorillas and a girl in fishnet body suit and fluffy bikini and decided I needed to give it another try!  So I'll probably be checking it out again later today!

The fishnet body suit kind of renewed my interest in it as well     The alien commander called it her "uniform"...what a military that must be

I'm still trying to find out why advance aliens walk around naked. 




I've dont know if you noticed Jack... under the title of the movie Star Piot in the beginning is dated 1977...

Also the story seemed to fit very well with Alfonso Brescia's War of the Robots (1978)... Have to watch it for a second time.

[Jack]

According to Netflix "Originally titled 2+5: Missione Hydra, the Italian sci-fi was renamed and rereleased in 1977 to cash in on the Star Wars craze."

So, both '66 and '77 are correct I guess 

I'll have to check out War of the Robots some day, I guess it's on a double feature DVD with War of the Planets.

[Skull]

lol... I own Cosmos: War of the Planets and War of the Robots on the same DVD set, I think I'd paided 10 to 15 dollars. I love them both for being over the top silly. I've also picked up Space Odyssey (which is part 3 in the series) for 1 dollar.

Although I have not seen Beast in Space (which is part 4 in the series)... I have it somewhere on the Netflix queue.

I've tried watching the movie for a second time (I did fell asleep somewhere when the ship launched into space and before it landed). I'm assuming 30 minutes or so. Yep, the story does fit very well with the Alfonso Brescia's space movies that I'd actually though he made Space Piot but he didnt, Director Pietro Francisci did...

I'll try to ketch the missing gap sometime this week.

My review...

Sexy women in fishnets space suits cannot keep a boring space story interesting. Somewhere in the boring space story is Casey Kasem... somewhere...

Oh, any ides for another movie? Or should I pick one?

[Jack]

Your turn to pick one Skull    

[Skull]

Halloween weekend and I get to pick... wow the pressure is on... :)

[Skull]

Ok, I'll list a few and see what happens...

Rumpelstiltskin
The Initiation of Sarah
Jaws of Satan
Contamination .7
Nightmare in Blood
Monster Dog 
Blood and Lace

I believe my wife picked a few but I cannot remember the names... :(

[Jack]

Most of those look pretty darned good.  I'm kind of drawn to Monster Dog, from watching a clip on Youtube it looks like it's got a great '80s horror feel to it. 

Whaddya think?  If you want to pick a different one, please feel free - like I said, I'd be happy with any of them

This weeks movie is: Monster Dog



lol... we watch Monster Dog several months back on the THIS channel and it very was so fun but Edited and Loaded with commericals...

[Jack]

I can't even watch movies on broadcast TV any more.  I was trying to watch a horror movie on AMC and right during the scary part, a pop-up ad says "remain calm".  What the...?!?!  It was the beginning of an ad for their new show Walking Dead, which ran for the entire length of the scary part of the movie I was trying to watch.   

And then lets cut away from the dark, foreboding terror for five minutes of the Geico Gecko and Vikings with Capitol One cards.

[Skull]

lol...

I dont understand how but we cannot fast forward any movies recorded on "THIS" thru our DVR. It's insane that the commericals are focused towards old people with "pee" problems, thinking of death and then woman on birth control and maybe something neat to buy like a super lazer pen that makes glowing in the dark items much brighter...

*My Glow Pen Rant (or whatever the name)*

I've actually order this item and many, many, many, many, many months later I get a replay telling me their orders are behind and if I would like to keep the order.

I said ok...

So many, many, many, many months later I get another replay saying thay cannot fill the order.

Actually Monster Dog was much better on Netflix then on "THIS"

Monster Dog is a very cool werewolf movie that is more geared towards pre American werewolf in London since the focus isn’t on the character transforming into the werewolf (at least until the ending of the movie). It also had more of an Italian feel (the music, clothing, actors except for Alice Cooper all seemed from Italy) although my wife pointed out the movie was Spanish... (Hmmm... Spanish and Werewolf... No Paul Naschy??? How could this be... although I have only seen one Paul Naschy werewolf move and for some oddball reason Frankenstein's Bloody Terror keeps coming in the mail broken  )

Viewing this movie for a second time, I'm more convinced that Monster Dog was movie project not intended for Alice Cooper to star. I think Alice Cooper was talked into making a music video as rock singer Vincent Raven, and the story is about the people working on the video or taking a vacation from their hard work. I’ve seen several other films made in the 1980’s that also has Rock Stars in smaller cameo’s (Adam Ant, Ozzy Osbourne)  and similar plot and I think Monster Dog is typically similar to those movies. Since I’m guessing here; I think Alice Cooper somehow enjoyed working with the director and got himself into starring the movie. Therefore explaining why Alice Cooper is the only American Actor in this film and the director adjusted the script for Alice Cooper.

One day, I would like to ask Alice Cooper how he got into Monster Dog. I think there is a fun background story to this movie.


Ok lots of guessing… Fun movie to watch on Halloween Night… :)
