I finally found a copy of this movie after looking for about 4 or 5 months.  Man, what a trip!

I think we saw better with CLASH OF THE TITANS the creatures there did not look so hoaky and they were more realistic and at least in clash pegasus was rather wild about the little mechanical owl bubo(hoot,hoot)

If all of television and cinema was to disappear from the planet except for one movie, the Forbidden Zone would be that one I would like to keep.

It is strange.  It is non-linear.  It is majestic.

I have to say that this is, hands down, my favorite movie of all times. As it has been said before, it has everything anybody could ever want in a movie. This is what I pop in when movies running too low for acid. A trip all of its own. And of course, Danny rocks!!!

I just watched this movie for the first time, holly crap I love it!
Absurd, surrealism and puppet theater like show...
I must say I hadn't had such a pleasure for awhile!

The first time i saw this movie was on the big screen around halloween at one of the arts theaters in Dallas.  It IS available for rent in one store i visited, in Taos New Mexico.  If you're ever going through the place, it's Mondo Video in the Kulture Kafe, that place has so many obscure and international movies, including a lot i've seen on here.  :}

Great review! Lousy film but had to see it just for Oingo Boingo and Danny Elfman (also Herve). Its disturbing imagery also reminded me of Eraserhead. Great soundtrack! Thanks to this review I now know what the movie was about... didn't help the film any but at least now I know. Thank ye much.

  I got to see this film last night. I have only three words to describe it. WHAT THE f**k!? I love the movie it was the greatest thing ive seen in a while and im a sucker to movies that LOOK LIKE they've been made on literally a shoe string budget.
 I loved how the sets looked like they were drawn by crayon/marker on big ass pieces of cardboard. And the characters, how could I describe them? Unusual id have to say, theres many other words I could use but unusual says the most.
 My favorite character is Huckleberry P. Jones I laugh my ass  
off to steriotypes, black, white, brown, etc. Its the "american dream".

I kept thinking only one thing the entire movie: WTF?!

Nice nips on the Princess, tho...

I've got the special edition DVD of this.  Danny Elfman rocks in it!

This is a great movie to whip out on unsuspecting people.

I have to say this-this movie rocks!......Funny thing, I recently bought the new version of the nightmare before christmas soundtrack, and it had danny elfman doing demo versions of some of the songs. When it came to oggie boogie's song, all I could think of was elfman dressed as satan, singing it in front of herve vellachaize dressed as santa claus. That would rule! :hot:

New multiple features DVD is out there people...but would you believe the scientologists got the director? :bluesad:
"Do you have something against droppings?" "Well, no, I..." "Sure, everyone says that till they step in it."

I absolutely LOVE this movie!  All of my friends who have seen this film have a negative opinion of it, but I just adore it. I just fell in love with Danny Elfman as Satan.
People may be laughing at me now, but someday us nerdy, cross-dressing, undead weirdos will rule the world!

So, any thoughts on the colorized version the director produced?
