Only very recently when it turned up on RUclips ruclips.net/video/aPiD4e_7qQQ/видео.html - we are working on a video nasty series, but have not worked out a suitable format.
Beast With a Million Eyes and Curucu, Beast of the Amazon are the classic examples of great titles and posters that the movies themselves are completely incapable of matching.
"In the future, all robots will act like Don Knotts." --Crow T Robot "Yew und yer dawtah ah dewmed!" --Valeria (and repeated endlessly in years to come)
The poster for "Killers from Space" (1954) shows a flying saucer blasting the Earth with a massive ray, a horde of people running away, and some scary eyes watching the mayhem. The actual film effects however are just some blokes in overalls with ping-pong balls for eyes, an aircraft model on a stick, and some back-projected stock footage lizards in close-up.
Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan originally had many more scenes set in Manhattan planned, but the budget wasn't big enough, and that's why an hour of the movie is on the boat and a good deal of the Manhattan scenes were filmed in Vancouver.
Vancouver has doubled and tripled for so many cities that filmmakers forget that even stupid people can figure this out, which just goes to show that filmmakers have the IQ less than most California politicians.
This is one movie I'd love to see rebooted as the premise is still strong. The movie was dreadful. Both lead actresses retired shortly after this disaster
Jeez, remove MST3k and you _REALLY_ start to notice how bad a movie gets. I remember when I first saw the episode this was featured in, and I just didn't think much of it. Without the riffing, however, it's not even unintentionally funny like _Space Mutiny_ or _Werewolf._ It's cinematic trash. Fun fact: The opening/ending credits music in this movie was re-used from fellow MST3k film _Laserblast._ As if anyone watching this couldn't have gotten any stronger of an indication as to how much of a cheap mess this film was...
The fact that I got bored while watching the scenes between Robin's commentary strongly supports how bad this film must have been. Of course, when it comes to films that cannot deliver on their premise due to its budget, the first one that always comes to mind is "The Eye Creatures". There may be multiple heads and hands available, but only one full costume. It should have been called "The Eye Creature And His Bodiless Friends".
I’ve long been fascinated by this stinker of a film and so I recently looked up its writer and director Tim Kincaid on IMDB. Big mistake. Most of his “films” appear to involve truck stop bathrooms. No, really...
This sidekick robot is like R2-D2 and C3P-O rolled into one. Annoying and chattery, but still full of practical gadgets to get our heroes out of trouble.
I watched the movie twice. Both Mst3K version and original one. Yes it is horrible but this film is really quite watchable. Besides who can deny the sexual fantasies it inspires. The women in the movie are pretty. Especially the evil android Valeria.
I love the concept this movie offers, about air being used as leverage with humans (it was better explored in one of the best Dr Who episodes, "Oxygen", however). Movie that had more ambition than budget? Anything by Ed Wood/Herschel Gordon Lewis and, heck, throw The Giant Claw in too!!
There was a movie where Time was used as currency and if you used it up you died. I think it starred Ron Perlman and Christopher Lambert until a vaccine was found and Ron Perlman was going to determine who would get the vaccine.
I can't even watch the MST for this one, because the main scientist's acting (or lack thereof) is so infuriating. He doesn't react to anything, even the reveal of what would seemingly the most terrifying evil on the planet. He's more emotive when he gets turned into an avocado.
I think probably "Candyman" (I didn't read the short story it's based on) and "Night Breed" (based on a novel I did read: "Cabal" are very good representations of Barker's type of horror writing. "Bram Stoker's Dracula" strayed so far from the original in the portrayal of the Count, it was almost impossible to quate the two.
I have a pertinent question, and I haven’t viewed all the comments, so don’t know if it’s been brought up, but how are the swords effective against robots?
Have you seen "Outlaw Of Gor"? I watched a few minutes of it on Comet TV this morning. Jack Palance must have been hard up for cash to appear in this turd.
Truly the geniuses behind this epic ass-terpiece are masters at their craft - I couldn't shit out a movie this hilariously bad if my life depended on it.
Have you already reviewed Ruggero Deodato's The Barbarians? It's one of those sword and sorcery "epics" that were made after the release of Conan The Barbarian.
"What B movies have premises that their budgets are ill-equipped to deliver on?" Well, let's start by adding together all your DCR, every episode of MSTSK, about one-half of Brandon Tenold's reviews, hell, a the lists of a dozen other online Bad or Cult Movie Reviewers, remove redundancies, account for movies not yet reviewed... ... a lot of them. Which is still not the same thing as saying that a B movie whose premise out-strips it's budget is an inherently bad movie, it can merely be a flawed one. I admit that I can't think up a good example of that, I'm just optimistically erring on the side of 'entertainment value'.
Haven't "Plan 9 from Outer Space" promised "armies of the walking dead guided by the master plan"? And in the movie we see like three walking dead persons.
Bad post-"Star-Wars" space opera? That would include "Starchaser: The Legend of Orin". It's animated, and therefore subject to cliches from cartoons as well as space operas.
Other movies that cannot deliver: Birdemic. Unless the pitch was to show people no one cares about driving slowly to advance a plot that doesn't exist.
Both Angelika Jager and Nadine Hart retired from acting shortly after this turd. Too bad, Angelika was hot. What other movies had premises their budgets couldn't deliver? Almost every movie panned by MST3K. Happy New Year.
Wouldn't that make Hitler's Final Solution - Nazi Holocaust? Robot Holocaust should be about all the robots being rounded up and sent to the scrapyard - like what should have been done with this film. Something like that did happen in I, Robot to the earlier models of the robots.
One thing that always bugs me about these kinds of movies: why do robots need slaves? They're built to make our lives easier so they're tireless, stronger, more resilient etc, so they wouldn't need slaves. If anything they'd pull a Terminator and try to exterminate us :=)
Thanks for watching - Let us know what other b-movies have budgets ill-equipped to deliver on the promise of title and posters.

Kali I’m thinking that “actress” was sleeping with the producer or a minor porn star who was trying to go mainstream. Truly awful.

My friend Micheal worked on the crew of this film, as a driver when he was going to film school in NYC. He had some funny stories, as you can imagine.
" Take him to the room of Questions !" ..... Oh no !...... is that like a.... Questioning room?
The Homer "woo hoo!" doubled me over
Me too. That came out of nowhere.
The Dark One can take away oxygen. I know some people who can suck the air out of a room too. Keep up the cool reviews.
I can't help thinking that somebody at a party said: "Here's ten grand, a camera, and a bag of weed. Go make a movie."
....yeah, then they spent the ten grand on munchies and raided several backyards for the sets and movie props.
As opposed to the big studio who say “here’s 10mill, a camera and a pound of coke. Go make a movie”
Shouldn't the question be, what schlock B-movies DO have budgets that can deliver on their premise? ;)
Killer Klowns From Outer Space!
I sincerely forgot how bad the accents are in this movie. Only MST3K could make this even remotely watchable.
And this brit can't, he sucks.
Laura Hertzman agreed check out manos hands of fate it’s one of the funniest episodes 😊📼😂
Terror from the Year 5000 is the funniest of all MST episodes.

Well I want to see Jason X vs Robot Holocaust.
3.49 the hairdo of the guy is priceless
I suppose we could credit them for giving the hero the name "Neo" over a decade before Keanu Reeves' rendition in "The Matrix."
At the very least, Angelika Jager as "Valeria" makes up for a lot. I can't be the only one who doesn't worry about her strange diction.
I've had a crush on her for almost 30 years!
@@lerm2866 Joel and the Bots said, "She went to the Gabor School of acting and attitude."
But to me, that isn't much of a BAD thing.
She sounds vaguely Bulgarian.
Was she… er, handicapped? Or partially deaf? What was going on with her?
@@pretorious700 In fact she is German.
Great job on this ! Freaking hilarious!
The appearance of a whopping two evil robots at the end was so funny, yet so sad. Mostly funny, though.
The Astro Zombies can only manage two astro zombies.

The Beast With a Million Eyes, AIP's very first monster movie, definitely could not live up its surprisingly good poster.
The fact that I got bored while watching the scenes between Robin's commentary strongly supports how bad this film must have been.
Of course, when it comes to films that cannot deliver on their premise due to its budget, the first one that always comes to mind is "The Eye Creatures".

I love the female protagonists' strange stare and her nice cans.
This looks awesome. The sets and monster are like 1970's Dr. Who
I thought it had the look and feel (and stodgy dialogue and pacing) of 1980's Doctor Who. 🙂
Tim Kincaid also directed Breeders and Mutant Hunt. You get the picture
We really don't see killer robots in movies anymore since age of Ultron
Its almost as if someone took that cringy dance sequence at the end of Pat Benatar's "Love Is A Battlefield" music video and made a movie around it.
All this film lacked was a sprinkle of Hasselhoff.
seen High Schools plays with more better acting than this! remember watch this on VHS but in the 80`s !
I saw a middle school production of You're a good man Charlie Brown 40 odd years ago that I would have taken to Broadway. This movie is just shameful.
This sidekick robot is like R2-D2 and C3P-O rolled into one. Annoying and chattery, but still full of practical gadgets to get our heroes out of trouble.
I just stumbled on this channel by accident but I’m glad I did. Hilarious! :-)

This movie was made by a guy who primarily directed porn.
Yikes, must've been pretty bad porn!

The women in the movie are pretty. Especially the evil android Valeria.
This. Movie. Looks. AWESOME.
Great review.
Awesomely bad.

Keep up the great work. Throw in more 80's and 90's
I started to watch RH once, but it was just too bad. It's supposed to be a post-apocalyptic wasteland, but everybody's hair is perfect.
The villainess sounds remarkably like the goddess, errr, I mean Princess in “The Forbidden Zone”.
That silver robot seems to be related to Cl4ptr4p from borderlands, judging by the voice

3:32 That's a ripp off of a scene from Galaxy of Terror
I have a pertinent question, and I haven’t viewed all the comments, so don’t know if it’s been brought up, but how are the swords effective against robots?
The fascinating part of this for me is that the postapocalyptic parts of this movie were just shot around the shittier parts of NYC
Have you seen "Outlaw Of Gor"? I watched a few minutes of it on Comet TV this morning. Jack Palance must have been hard up for cash to appear in this turd.
@5:55 He was never taught the basic rule about not blindly charging into a smoke-filled room, was he?
This is a favorite of mine that I feel is underprepared as a bad movie. Thanks for covering it.
one of those movies that is worth watching just for the cover
You didn't even mention the Avocado Man! For shame!
And give the host his own t.v. show. Anyone who can put up with mutant, demonic sock monkeys deserves one.
You’re review made me laugh. You’re brilliant
Worth it for the title alone.
Nope!

Can you do the bad movie review of Dragonball Evolution, please?
Have you already reviewed Ruggero Deodato's The Barbarians? It's one of those sword and sorcery "epics" that were made after the release of Conan The Barbarian.
Not yet. We have a few of this genre coming up including a rare double bill
Was this one a quickie filmed in Charlie Band's castle?
Target Earth has an army of one robot.
If all of the Amazons are breeding at the same time, who's left to do the fighting?
is the 1956 movie X The Unknown a Hammer film????
Yes it is. Apparently it was their first horror film.

"What B movies have premises that their budgets are ill-equipped to deliver on?"
Well, let's start by adding together all your DCR, every episode of MSTSK, about one-half of Brandon Tenold's reviews, hell, a the lists of a dozen other online Bad or Cult Movie Reviewers, remove redundancies, account for movies not yet reviewed...
... a lot of them.
Which is still not the same thing as saying that a B movie whose premise out-strips it's budget is an inherently bad movie, it can merely be a flawed one.

It's like somebody made a movie out of a King Gizzard song.
It's like someone filmed a LARP session.
My roomba keeps sassing me. I'll keep an eye on it so we can avoid a reboot.
LOL!!!!
When I was a kid in Germany, my dad rented it. It's so bad it's funny.
Kann eigentlich nicht möglich sein. Der Film wurde nie in Deutschland veröffentlicht.
@@kevinschafer6345 Ich war auf einer Amerikanischen Militärbasis.
Please don't say this is a prophecy for 2021!
I'd say Mutant Hunt, by the same director of Robot Holocaust. No mutants-the villains are cyborgs, and there's a serious lack of those.
Coughing, a major side effect of air deprivation.

That's pretty pathetic, as slime must be cheap to produce!
Ok but this looks amazing
Spaghetti Post Apocalyptic movies are so bad it's so good 😂😂😂
Crazy to see this review I just watched this movie the other day laugh the whole time while I was watching it😂😂😂😂😂
If Ed Wood was a head banger
There's always a Valeria.
MST3K''s review is funny. Valeria sounds like Elmer Fudd.
