I love this film. A group of actors putting on an interpretive Passion Play in Montreal begin to experience a meshing of their characters and their private lives. The characters are well played and some of the imagery is strong. I find the last 10-15 minutes very tense and moving every time I watch it.
The apartheid censor board had a few things to say about this one too.

That's more a Namsploitation movie. These three are Raiders rip-offs.
I got you. 😊👍🐢
I remember watching Italian cash-ins on VHS with cropped picture and low-res image. Some of the camera work on the shoddiest of these movies is very good. These 4K/Blu Ray releases finally show that off. The dubbing is still appalling though
You should see the cheapo DVD I have of TIGER JOE. The source was what looks like a very bad 16mm print and at one point, the image flips for a second 😳😳😆🤣
We could do with a 4K 'Namsploitation set 🤣

The Humanoid(1979)

In the distant future, Earth is renamed & under some sort of monarchy... The evil brother of the leader (a cheap knock off or Darth vader, with a mask that look like he got it a a bondage shop) has raised an army & has returned from exile to steal a bioweapon & kill a female scientist (Corinne Cléry)..... Clery's gets a call from an Asian kid she's taking care of, who has psychic powers, who tells her to come home, so the bad guys miss her....
Meanwhile, somewhere in deep space, a pilot (Richard Kiel, with a beard) is stuck on an outdated ship that just blew it's navigation & communication systems... He sees the bad guy's ship & decides to follow it....
The bad guy gets back to his base, run by an evil queen (Barbara Bach), & give the bioweapon to a scientist, who captures the pilot & turns him into Richard Kiel, without a beard, who is now laser proof with super human strength.....
They bad guys send him back to Earth, where he grabs guards & throws them around, but the Asian kid uses his psychic powers to turn him back into a good guy....
An awful lot is packed into this movie, so it never gets dull (for me at least)... The sets & miniatures are pretty impressive... Many references to Star Wars... Manages to stay pretty goofy...
I think it's the biggest budget Star Wars cash-in the Italians made at the time. Agree about the sets and some of the miniatures but I also like the locations as well. And give me black stormtroopers over white one's anyday. It had a cinema release in the UK and it certainly made an impression as I bought the cinema poster and lobby cards (still got the the cards).
Not saying it's a good film, some of it is laughable and the dubbing doesn't help - but it has some charm for me.

Last post by claws - March 09, 2026, 01:26:57 AMI asked AI about this:
Practical Limitations (1967): At the time of filming, there was no technology available to make hair consistently float in a realistic, natural way for a feature film.
Intentional Design (The "Hat" Strategy): To avoid the issue of static-looking, unmoved hair in scenes meant to be zero-gravity, Kubrick intentionally designed the flight attendant uniforms with hats or head coverings, notes for which suggested they served as "hair management" to prevent hair from floating around the face.
"Perfected" Practical Effects: Instead of trying to simulate floating hair, the production focused on perfecting the floating object effect, such as the famous scene where a pen (and later a stylus) floats through the Orion cabin, which was achieved by taping it to a rotating sheet of glass.
Other Solutions: In scenes with male actors, shorter hair styles or the use of hair spray were likely used to keep hair from moving, as creating realistic, weightless, long hair was not feasible at the time.
While other objects (pens, food trays) were made to float, the hair of the characters remained largely fixed, a practical decision that actually helped the film maintain its clean, ordered aesthetic.
