The Brain That Wouldn't Die

.... the basically unnecessary mini-catfight taken out, ...

No way! Sorry, I think I have posted that before, but watch the girl slapping the face of the other girl picture by picture on dvd. It's just so hilarious!

Also look out where she`s looking at. In that scene the not to be seen opposing girl has to be considerably larger than herself, which she isn't.

Noo, I meant it might have been bett- aww what's the point?

Come on... we all have movies we'd like to see Andrew review, but you don't really get anything accomplished by pestering the guy to do it...or do you? Hmmm... I just hope he does a review of the Mystery Science Theater version in the television section ;)

BTW: The slap scene in the catfight is a genuine WTF moment. I wonder if the director himself was responsible for the actual slap :P

Just curious. How come there isn't a review of The Brain That Wouldn't Die? I mean, it doesn't get much worse than this, and it's a classic as far as bad movies go. The movie was so bad, that the only keeping me watching was the Mystery Science Theater guys. And even then, I barely could watch it.

That's when you have to ask yourself if you really like badmovies, or just comedy about badmovies.  "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" IS a classic, and I love watching it as it was originally meant to be watched.

I can't stand those stupid robots. They ruin perfectly enjoyable movies with they're jibber jabber, and their heads get in the way too much. If I need a running commentary,I'll add my own.  Though I am grateful that they opened up a new audiance to the joy of BAD movie appreciation.

I'm probably one of the few who actually paid (15 cents) to see this one in the theater, I think it's an okay movie as this type of film goes, but I've always wondered, what does she do if her nose itches and she's alone in the lab? This is the kind of issue that the film does not address.

Good point, but since I own a copy of the original, I think it's safe to say I don't mind it much... a bit overly pessimistic in character portayals, but hardly painful. I've always had mixed feelings of the MST treatments of movies... sometimes, like with this one, I found it hilarious- but other times, like with Godzilla vs. Megalon, it's mediocre (particularly the annoying announcer thing they do while the monsters are fighting); I think it depends upon what your taste is with the movie. I must confess I don't think I could handle Manos, Monster Ago-go or Red Zone Cuba without it, but in general, it's superfluous.

Are you kidding?  Get thee to a video store and watch Manos, The Hands Of Fate!  It makes The Brain That Wouldn't Die look like Casablanca!
