IT CAME FROM THE LIQUOR CABINET (aka the B-movie drinking game)

[ghouck]

Every time boobs are shown for no apparent reason, take TWO drinks (one for each).

Every time a person "dodges" fire from a laser or other beam-type weapon, take a drink.

Rather than taking an obvious escape route (a.k.a. running away), when approached by a monster, or otherwise, the would be victim just stands there and screams.

Take TWO drinks if they just fall to the ground.

Every time you see blood that is thin as water and as translucent as kool-aid, take a drink.

Every time you see a person with clothes soaked in blood, and in the next camera shot they are noticeably less bloody, take a drink.   

Every time you see the movement of a person's body from them being shot out of sync with the deployment of the special effects showing the impact of the bullets, take a drink.

Every time you hear or see reference to a scientific impossibility, take a drink.
(ie. "The temperature will drop to thousands of degrees below zero", or a 200lb man pulling DOWN on a rope that goes over a pulley, resulting in him lifting several tons, WITHOUT a block and tackle.)

Every time a government official is shown to be lazy, dishonest, or incompetent, take a drink.

Every time a guy shows a picture of his girl, then gets killed, take a drink.

Every time you see a policeman eating a donut, take a drink.

[AndyC]

Every time an astronaut talks about what kind of food he's going to eat when he gets back to earth

Every time the resident scientist comes up with a spot-on theory about what's happening, based on virtually no information

When a round, slender rocket turns out to have a big, square control room

When a fictional rocket turns into stock footage of a Redstone, Atlas, Saturn, V2 or other real rocket shortly after launch

When the same rocket lands by running the stock footage in reverse

When a rocket's door is in the side of the tail, presumably leading into the engine

When a rocket's layout leaves no room for fuel

When a rocket seems to have the dimensional properties of a TARDIS

When a rocket in space gives off smoke that goes "up" or sparks that go "down"

[Jack]

In old sci-fi, anytime the spaceship/space station crew is all dressed in uniforms except the female lead, who's in some sexy skin-tight number.

Anytime they have a teletype machine on a space station.

Anytime they make a point of having a scene where everyone's weightless, yet for the remainder of the movie there's obviously normal gravity.

Anytime an apparently rocket or jet powered car is seen going 35 mph down the highway.

Anytime alien computers can be figured out and reprogrammed in less than 5 minutes.

[AndyC]

Every time an intelligent character tries to convince someone of a threat in the least believable, dumbest-sounding terms possible. Examples include "Doc Hallen was killed by a monster," "We dug up Jason and he came back to life," and "There's these dwarves and they're gonna get me."

[Saucerman]

Any time the monster has a large, exposed brain, or is a disembodied brain. 

[AndyC]

Whenever spacecraft controls or other advanced technology is represented by a bunch of ham radio equipment on a wooden table

Every time someone says "earthling"

Every time aliens announce that they will destroy us because our atomic weapons are a threat to them

Every time aliens ignore or laugh in the face of our crude atomic weapons

If the aliens "speak" telepathically

Whenever a spacecraft that is far bigger and heavier than it needs to be has lightening holes in its structural supports

[peter johnson]

From the ham radio equipment to the "square room in round spaceship" to the earthling business to wooden tables ---
According to AndyC's rules, anyone watching "Plan 9 From Outer Space" would die of alcohol poisoning, as it seems as if EVERY SINGLE ONE of his rules apply to that film!!
Seriously, I can count 15 drinks just by skimming --

[AndyC]

Funny, when I was typing most of those, I was thinking of, among other things, Robot Monster, Angry Red Planet, It! the Terror from Beyond Space, Creeping Terror, When Worlds Collide and a few others. They're pretty common clichees. Actually, from the rules applying to space travel, It! or Angry Red Planet might be pretty hazardous to your liver.

The meteor shower threat is in nearly every sci-fi space movie.........

[AndyC]

The meteor shower threat is in nearly every sci-fi space movie.........

And for some reason, it often comes soon after launch.

[Patient7]

If a killer is searching a room for a person, then just as they leave they stop and come back into the room for no apparent reason.

I don't drink that SATAN in a bottle stuff, that evil vile liquid sin.

Out demon, OUT! Heal thyself sinner, heal.

My God have MERCY on your soul!

Don't worry, a few years ago a very nice man turned me on to this stuff called "Jesus Juice," it's quite good and the man was rather friendly, maybe too friendly.  I got his picture though.

No problem, I'LL personally make sure your share gets taken care of. . 

[Cthulhu]

Take a drink everytime when:
-Bela Lugosi is in a role of an evil genius
-the minority/minorities die
-you think someone deserved to die for their stupidity  (in a slasher flick)
-teenagers go into the asylum/haunted mansion/cemetery to have sex
-you can clearly see that the monster is just a puppet
-the director/writer makes a cameo
-someone looks in the camera
