I finally found the B-Movie I was looking for. It came from the same country that brought us pasta, gladiators, and Mussolini. Yes, it is an Italian flick called Cosmos: War of the Planets. The plot of the movie is laughable and the lines are even worse ("We've got to talk to them! Use all forms of communication! Use the radio if you have to!"), but if you can get it cheap, you will laugh your butt off and thank God that the only thing the Italians have good taste in is fashion (though you wouldn't know it from what they wore in this movie)
Glad to see that you really enjoyed wrestling up a healthy viewing of that cheesy classic there,brother!!!
Whatcha gonna do when the biggest arms come,and run wild on the B movie world?!
WAR OF THE PLANETS is real fun. It woul be a great film review on this site along with WAR OF THE ROBOTS.
Did someone call? I have both those piles of prime Primavara....mawhahahaha!
Oh, the cheese flows like cheap wine in these babies!
There's another recent thread around here about those two, can't remember the title...
I just saw this movie for the first time last night...good grief! This is about the worst science fiction film I have ever seen! I loved it! They must have saved a fortune on the budget through lack of any proper lighting....several parts were so dark it was impossible to tell what was going on. The dialog was tragic and that sex ball thing....how romantic. :teddyr:
Read it and weep....

I love watching cheap, Italian sci-fi movies like this . . . especially after 11:00 p.m. on a Friday or Saturday night.
I first saw that movie on a DVD 4-pack. After it ended the next movie, Assignment: Outer Space, started. Assignment: Outer Space isn't exactly cream of the crop, but in the wake of Cosmos almost anything looks good.
Have you seen the two other space operas made by the same director? They're reviewed on this site.
What is it with the felt hats? Why always with the felt hats in these movies? I've seen both of these, starting when I was very young. It's amazing how much better they get when you understand that they are crap :)
