A cult classic B movie that is perhaps the purest example of a B movie, Moontrap isn't a cheesefest of tounge-in-cheek sillyness that happens to be low budget, but rather a relatively serious movie about horrible alien robot things that intend to take over the Earth... which happens to have a budget well below what the vision needs to be realized with the standards we associate with serious films. However, they don't let that get in the way and still present a rather interesting look at a slice of movie history.

This is a good-ass comment.
@@purplehaze2358 It's even better when you look at his user icon
Unless you forgot to turn off your suit's radio... then they'll hear it about.... 1.3 seconds delayed. :p
Better to be watching "Lifeforce" or 'Galaxy of Terror" LOL
A Decker upload! Makes a very cold, very crappy day much better.
Hello worldwide web! Im Decker Shado, the internet personality with hypothermia!
I love Decker Shado I've been watching him for years.
Me too, for about five years now
Nice. 4 and a half.
Good to know
MrHappyBollox Don’t be a d*ck Mr. “Happy”.
Similar. I don't remember when i first saw him, but it may have in fact been around 2012 or 2011, was one of the first movie reviewers on youtube i remember
Traps... In... SPACE!
But are Moontraps gay?
It's a space trap!
@@VoytekPavlik I thought this was Moontrap!? Was Spacetrap the Sequel? ...yes I know there was No Sequel...so shut up.....or WAS THERE!?
Ah, another man of culture.
@@Don-ds3dy Who's your waifu?
If your taking reguests.
I think you'll like the devils carnival
But if you want a musical with gore
Repo! The Genetic Opera
Damn Decker, I thought I was the only one that remembered this movie. You just made my !🤣🤣🤣
Also, SUCK is a great, gory, funny, musical horror, with a bonus it stars some of the greatest heavy metal, acid punk- glam rock stars, And a lot of the cast from the Canadian comedy sketch show: The kids in the hall " stars
Bad taste, brain dead, meet the feebles. Summer of peter jackson maybe.
"Zydrate comes in a little glass vial"
@@josemonje780 "A little glass vial?"
"At point blank range a shotgun can one shot a aircraft carrier"
Yeah, and take one step back and you'll miss it entirely
Kudos to whoever recommended this one, I never see it mentioned anywhere.
I remember seeing it on tbs and being absolutely thrilled by it as a kid. It took me forever to find someone who could recall the name from me describing the plot.
And when I had trouble finding it I found that it was uploaded in its entirety to RUclips for free, so maybe nobody owns it.
And I remembered that one guy died and the other got the girl, and seeing it as an adult and knowing who Bruce Campbell was I was sure it’d be him who lived. Wrong.
That's because it was an INDIE film! Not Hollywood shovel ware! Yeah, no budget of millions just to advertise....
I actually saw this movie when it was a new release at Home Video Express in '89. It was direct-to-video fare and I still think it's pretty awesome.
80's Sci-Fi Action cheese! What's not to love?
Walter Koenig was also Alfred Bester in Babylon 5 so he was in two sc-fi franchises One before this movie and one after this movie.
Hi Decker. Awesome review. Technically Walter Koenig does have more sci-fi clout than Bruce Campbell having been both Pavel Chekov on Star Trek TOS and Alfred Bester on Babylon 5....oh, and we landed 6 LEMs on the moon, not just 2.....which really DOES make one wonder what those Moon robots were waiting for? Looking forward to your review of the sequel, my friend. Peace.
He was wonderfully punchable as Bester
Don't forget Walter also played the alien Oro on the 70's low budget short lived series "Starlost"
Soooooo..... Now that its officially canon that you do requests....... Pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaassssseeeeee do Critters!!
I think another film you could do in the future is Deep Rising, it's just another cheesy monster movie that some people like and some people hate, should be right up your ally
Deep Rising is Sommersized goodness. The one he SHOULD review is DeepStar Six (1989) with Greg Evigan, the late great Mel Ferrer, Nia Peeples, Taurean Blacque, and Nancy Everhard.
Deep Rising is the shit!
@@CassandrashadowcassMorrison deep rising is the one with treat williams as the lead, right? not sure if that's the one and yeah, deep star six is some great cheese, although pretty much the only scene i remember is miguel ferrer ascending too fast to the surface and having his head explode in the process.. another fun one with a similar topic would be leviathan, also from 1989 i believe, with peter weller
Missed this one too, but thanks to you I definelty will be checking this out. Thanks for the recommendation.
"We don't take no shit from a machine!"
I remember this when it first came out. I actually enjoyed it. A very under-rated movie. And it had Walter Keonig as an actual lead.
If Bruce Campbell was playing Ash in this movie the robotic enemy would be defeated quickly
I love Bruce Campbell movies. No idea how I missed this movie either!
yea and there are films i liked him in lol of course there are films he wasin that were misses but i also like films he was in i didnt mind and if you like crime tryp drams his as the story of jeff ericson where he robbed banks with his wife jill i would reccomend its called in the line of duty blaze of glory
That's because it was an INDIE film! Not Hollywood shovel ware! Yeah, no budget of millions just to advertise....
The RUclips captions read "I'm burger shadow" hahaha
When your most excited to know that Information Society samples “We don’t take no shit from a machine” in their song Mirrorshades eue (they also sample multiple lines from ST TOS in other songs ;3)
Imperial Judesmen138 it’s at the very end of the song at 5 min 28 seconds. Not sure if there are maybe different versions. I have Mirrorshade/We Don’t Take from the album Hack
Hey cool! I think I was the one who suggested this video!
But were you aware of... the sequel?
@@DeckerShado I was not, actually. :) Looking forward to finding out how bad that'll be.
@@UndoomedOne oh my god, it's undoomed.
It’s weird hearing Walter Koenig without the silly accent.
Oh yeah you need to review ice pirates
I have vivid memories of Bruce's carved up face peeking through that window. Boy, those were the days, when movies like this - and at differently themed months Miami Connection - ran on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Mid 90s in Germany, that is.
same here... it was a Sunday morning in the early 90s. Metty Krings announced Moontrap following LiLaLaune Bär luring me into this and traumatizing me for years to follow.
@@SlackMidget Exact the same memory (and Trauma) for me ;-D
@@SlackMidget yeah when I was a teen one of the TV channels was nearly 100% old movies... many of which were indie films, that i'd later hunt down because I LIKED them more than Hollywood dreck.
I don't know why, but the robots remind me of the machine from that movie Hardware, which you should totally review, Decker!
I want that shirt. Never have I wanted something so much that I didn't even know existed.
I can't believe you reviewed this! Been in my collection for years. You rock, Shado
I f****** love this movie, a true golden oldie called classic!
Yo! The Peg joke made me laugh out loud!!
Ive been wondering why u haven't done screamers. Especially if u like Peter Weller. Nice review though keep up the good work bud
The Raybot face popping up in front of the moon tent window is my favorite moment. That smile Bruce comes up with is hilarious. And, do you really not know Joe LoDuca did the music for all the Evil Dead movies, the Hercules/Xena shows, and more? He's Sam' Raimi's John Williams.
Oh! I have a request!
*Dario Argento's DEMONS*
You know what blows my high ...when your videos end 💔
Still a great review all these years later. I always come back to these.
Apollo 18? Forbidden World? Outland? Alien Cargo?
Alien Contamination, Galaxy of Terror, Life
Creature 1985
@@majdo007 aka TITAN FIND (1984 prerelease)
Wow.
All of these 80's movies set in the 90's and not one of them predicted Limp Bizkit.
(also, I'd really like to see you review Toxic Avenger. Either the first one or Citizen Toxie)
Nobody could've predicted Limp Bizkit
THE SUMMER OF TROMA!
The virus comic may have influenced this movie, because the comic was made before and had the design of ugly robot organic hybrid shit lol
2:00 MAAAANNNN I wish you'd review Space Truckers already, a perfectly enjoyable '90s SciFi flick that bombed and got 9% on Rotten Tomatoes when it doesn't deserve such a poor rating. It still does have plenty of things to make fun of, so it'd make for a juicy review.
Hey just a question, Decker are you ever gonna review the rest of the Death Race films?
When you decide to go back to fantasy action flicks, I recommend the Mythica series (A Quest for Heroes, The Darkspore, The Necromancer, The Iron Crown, The Godslayer). It's a fun series funded partly via kickstarter, and includes Kevin "Hercules" Sorbo in its cast.
You should be able to find all 5 in a single collection if you look. (That's how I learned there was more than just the one film, actually. I was only looking for A Quest for Heroes....)
i should mention that right after watching this i bought this on Amazon, but couldn't use your referral link because i wanted it on VHS. so here, a like and comment for ya
Bruce (don't call me ash) Campbell was also awesome in Sundown. it's a vampire movie.
I really thought that it said the Co-Producer was James Cameron at the beginning of the video!! It didn't... it said "John" Cameron;) Great Video!!
Your humor gets better every episode I swear LOL THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM
I remember this. Loved how he used the uzi to propel himself through space.
Honestly this is far from the worst looking B movie I've ever seen, it's actually pretty damn good all things considered. At the very least it looks like it was made by people who actually knew how to make a movie which is more than can be said about a lot of 80's/90's direct to video trash.
Can u please review more Godzilla movies, the Maniac Cop franchise, The Blob, The Fog, and the Critters franchise please Decker?
Speaking of 80s space movies, have you seen Enemy Mine yet Decker?
Moontrap is a decent film all things considered. Fun fact etc etc. The moon sets were made using concrete 'dust'. All fluids were prohibited from the set. Any spills and that stuff was going to set.
MOONTRAP is an honest & decent homage to the B movies of the 1950's and 60's! It is a fun movie, not meant to be very deep.
2:37 Chekov, played by Koenig himself, was killed off in a fan fiction episode of Star Trek. He ages from the radiation he experienced in a TOS episode, and dies(fades away).
2:03 Decker, they goto to that space station in Space Truckers from 1996, starring Dennis Hopper
Lol the auto captions on this video are hilarious 😂 "Hello world with my burger shadow, personality to this era"
Hey Decker. I was recently watching THE LAST DINOSAUR review. And got me thinking, how about reviewing another Rankin/Bass-Japanese collabo, THE BERMUDA DEPTHS? Release just a year later in '78. And interesting enough, this film involves a giant turtle.
Wait wait...WHAT WAS THAT?! A SEQUEL?! When did THAT happen?!
Don't get excited... lol. I followed the production of it the whole time, and we honestly were scratching our heads with each update. (Seriously, they'd post something and act like fans would know what it was, but it was so left field) It's good for a laugh, as the budget is even worse than this... but you can tell they had no idea what to do. Also, all the horror elements are gone and the robots are red vs blue like Rock 'Em Sock 'Em... yeeeah.
@@PuppetDungeon Whats the name of it?
Its a trap!
Why are so many of the top comments reply-ible with the same thing? The only trap here is me.
It's an ambush!
i like the Star wars Reference
@@ciminod That what I got mine from as well.
If you are taking requests for movies.
Can you do Frankenstein's Army?
It's a gorey and weird movie that has lots of really cool monsters made from machines and human bodies.
Oh Boy! I actually requested this one, quite some time ago, from SF Debris! Can't wait to see your take on it!
Edit after watching the review:-
Oh F... no, whatever you do. WHATEVER YOU DO don't watch the sequel. I got it when it came out a couple of years ago and... my god is it bad. It makes the Asylum look high quality!
Thanks for posting this. I remember watching it on tv when I was 5 or 6, so that would have been in 90 or 91. Couldn't remember the name of it after trying to find it a few years ago. Remember it being better and scarier back then tho. Still want to rewatch it for nostalgia. Keep up the amazing work.
The truck stop in Beta Z9 has great snacks but don't order the special. You'll end up with a chest burster alien singing Hello My Baby on the counter
another great review decker. could i make a small request and ask you to engage your unique critical style towards an old british comedy horror b-movie called "i bought a vampire motorcycle?" i think you will really get a kick out of it
I will probably never watch this. So thank you for the synopsis.
That pod also screams football.🏈🏈🏈
LOL expecting a sports reference from Decker is a mistake
@@jonbaird8835 oh I don't care whether or not he like sports or not I'm just saying the pod looks a lot like a football.
I saw part of this movie when I was like 5 or 6 and the pod killing the woman scared the shit out of me and for over 30 years all I could remember was a scene where a football comes to life and kills someone, I never knew what that movie was until now
The music was badass, I'd say it elevated the movie status from B to B+. But Koenig's wig put it back to B.
Chekov, to be honest, rarely did anything of note in Star Trek. He was basically a comic relief character most of the time. Konig, however, loves to go on and on about how important Chekov was. Kind of like the guy that played C-3PO who keeps insisting that he be shoved into every scene because C-3PO is an important beloved character!, damnit.
Decker! Love the content. Have you considered reviewing more John Carpenter films? I’d recommend Big Trouble in Little China, classic movie which starts motherf*cking Kurt Russel!
Very true. Grew up watching it.
I think you'll find his name is Kurt Motherfucking Russell.
Motherfucking is his middle name.
Or They Live
Fun fact the footage of the Apollo moon landing was actually filmed on the site of where Decker's current house sits.
Decker you should have at least 500k subscribers. Your comedic style is genius.
I love this movie. It was obviously made to attract Star Trek and Evil Dead fans and to capitalize on Terminator Alien franchise, and the late 80's/early 90's scifi-horror trend. There was another machines-using-humans-as-spare-parts movie (other than the later Virus) that came out around the time of Moontrap.
I caught part of this movie at a nieghbors house back in the day, and I have never been able to find it. Thank you sooooooo much for this, I am getting the damn thing for my collection asap.
Cranking out the reviews quick, my man, and yet quality as always. We appreciate it!
I think the only show I can think of with a space truck stop was Futurama and you don't want to eat the egg sandwich from there. And maybe Spaceballs I can't remember if that was a diner or a truckstop-esque place for instance I work at a truck stop/restaurant/pizza place so it is actually more vague than you may think.
Just noticed that Chekov & Ash's spacesuits are color-coded red and blue, which is repeated in the sequel.
I've also been curious why the robot species bothers harvesting organic parts as the uses to which we see them put are always less effective that being 100% mechanical.
My guess is that the low-budget props failed to properly communicate the idea that the organic parts were to make it more efficient in how it moves. Or at least compared to the other materials it has.
Love the review, I think I'll try and find this movie. Just out of curiosity, what ever happened to Creepy? Haven't seen him around in a long time...
6:02(I'm thinking takin' all bets Deadite with a backpack? Alien with a petrified block of wood? Or Federation stow away with a Dilithium crystal?)...
This movie despite its budget seems pretty well done in some of the effects
Oh yeah, nice script, massive ominous looming plot, and decent use of effects.
Okay “except my friend peg” had me spitting soda all over my keyboard. It went up my nose. Thanks!
6:39
For some reason it reminds me of the Crypt Killer game.
I love this movie. Interesting bit of trivia, this movie came out in theaters one week before the Borg were introduced in Star Trek.
Now I'm not saying that the Borg are a rip off of the Kaalium and the villains from Captain Power.........but they're totally a rip off of the Kaalium and the villains from Captain Power.
The visual aesthetic alone invites comparisons, and then the Kaalium's tendency to salvage everything they come across to make cybernetic horrors. Yeah, this movie inspired Virus, the Borg, probably even the Necrons from 40K1, especially the Flayed Ones.
And I stand by that claim.
They're also derived from the Cybermen in Dr Who
So I can't be the only one where every time I hear Decker say "Jason" I think of Voorhees right?
Decker, actually when you think about it, Mera wasn't wearing a suit either, which would indicate the atmosphere is at least breathable
First I learn that Bruce campbell is in a sci-fi game called tachyon the fringe which is a good game btw. Now I learn hes done a sci-fi movie with walter koenig. Man gotta love Bruce.
Would you review the film Mandy, Decker? I watched it on a tab the other day now it’s out on BluRay, just a mad experience with a film that’s had some serious craft put into its creation
i love this movie. not gonna win any awards but BRUCE CAMPBULL what more needs to be said!
I'm surprised that the moon actually agreed to appear in this movie..
Hey Decker, I just wanted to say how much I like your reviews :) Greetings from Poland, from your fans far far away across the atlantic !
I'm surprised you didn't mention that conventional guns wouldn't work without oxygen in space. Not a criticism . Just an observation . Great review .
The Moon has an atmosphere.
Those eggs looked like cadburry football eggs...And i had more funny things i wanted to say but i forgot...damn
MrHappyBollox More unnecessary meanness. Do you just go around insulting people on Decker Shado video comments? You suck.
5:08 A spacecraft that big would not burn up in the atmosphere
Remember seeing that movie once, when I was 8.... The body in the beginning gave me nightmares for weeks :-D
Video games may have taught us that shotguns can destroy an aircraft carrier at point-blank range, but before that 1980s -1990s action movies taught us that shotguns can hurl a man across a room with a point-blank shot, showing us that a shotgun has the equivalent force of a speeding truck ramming into someone. Perfectly logical pop culture evolution.
Decker Shado: I am surprised that you didn't do a review of Splice (2009).
This is a movie that really deserves a remake instead of all the stuff that Hollywood THINKS needs remakes.
18:09 fuck me, that's legitimately terrifying.
Remember seeing this movie as a kid. The gun fight on the moon was the best.
The robots, and the inside of the ship reminded me of a DBZ movie, Return of Cooler.
Still waiting for the mist and the cabin in the woods!
Awesome video! Btw can you review Insidious, please?
Bruce Campbell’s jawline is nothing short of exquisite. Easily the best part of this movie.
Ash and Chekov.....the team up you never knew you wanted.....wait a mummy. I remember this one. Everyone else starts rapidly aging except Chekov cause the mummy caused him to s#@# his pants.....oh nope he's aging fast.
in the debate between jaws vs alien. My grandpa always throws out the fact that the beaches saw a decrease in attendance. I point out that could be a coincidence. But if he insisted on using it. I get to use there was never another trip to the moon after alien. But if we sent Bruce we would probably already have a colony up there and a S Mart.
This is pretty close to Quake 2 the movie actually (what with the Strogg and machine guns/shotguns)
Can you do Halloween 2018? I know you have done the initial reaction, but I’d love to see the full thing
