Lost Skeleton of Cadavra (2001)

[Ed]

Hi everyone,
Has anyone heard of this?  I saw it and I laughed my head off.  They show tribute/make fun of every trope in the 50's B-movie school of filmmaking.  I thought it a fun film for those who gone through Robot Monster, The-Attack-of-The-Giant -Anything,  and all the Bert I. Gordon films I can think of.  
Here are some trailers, note the epic battle scene.

Just a fun diversion in my book.

great dialouge, some of the funniest dialouge ever possibly

"I SLEEP NOW"

Sounds like a winner. Saw it on the shelve at Best Buy.

Loved everything about it --
"Dance, Animala, dance!!"
"If only it had hands -- If only it did have hands!!"
Okay, so a dessicated skeleton in a cave in Bronson Canyon is going to somehow "rule the world".  Sure . .
There's a website out there that the filmmakers put together with "real" junk like lunchboxes, the Aurora plastic monster model kit for the mutant, a board game, etc. etc., as if this were a real flick from 1961.  Priceless.

Is that one of your EARTH jokes?

I've not seen all of the Lost Skeleton, but the parts I saw surely had the wooden acting down pat.

I think I posted about this a long time ago, but Larry Blamire who wrote, directed, and acts in Lost Skeleton has a website about a long unrealized project he can't get out of  his head. It's called Steam Wars.

I think it's a great concept and would definitely like to see it done.

My wife and I use that line every once in a while, particularly with a baby who can nod off at any time.

Well, I never expected this thread to show up again.  But Steam Wars looks pretty neat.  I explored SteamPunk SciFi and generally enjoyed it.  For some reason I suspect George Lucas would not apprive of the name.

Aw, man....STEAM WARS is go Anime written all over  it....and this was BEFORE "Steam Boy". Nice.

One words, guys....SCIENCE!

I was impressed with the fact that he has done so much backstory and art work.  I think this could be really cool.
