    Check out this first time watching this bad sci-fi movie reaction video for Laserblast and see if I can make it through this bad sci-fi movie. Horror is a genre I've barely explored, mostly because I'm a huge wuss. Typically my Halloween movie viewings consist of Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown. This year I decided to expand my horror movie knowledge and try and watch these horror movie fan favourites.

    Keenan Wynn was in many films, but I best remember him as Alonzo Hawk in The Absent Minded Professor (1961), Son Of Flubber (1963), and Herbie Rides Again (1974). Some classic cheese sci-fi movies for you.
    Fun Fact: The stop-motion alien models were designed by David Allen and Jon Berg, and constructed by Berg. Although Allen is generally credited with the alien puppet animation, it was largely done by Randall Cook, who worked without credit.

    Definitely another strong entry in the Ishtar Cinematic Universe (ICU).
    In my city, we had cable TV (13 channels!) In the early 1970s. They had no movie services like HBO, nor the amazing amount of TV content we have today. Consequently, our cable system had a "movie channel" consisting of generally crappy films they'd bought the rights to. Because they had a limited budget, they had a limited number of movies. They'd run them practically on loop.
    I can't tell you the number of times I've seen _Laserblast_ . When faced with 12 channels of crap, even your 11th screening of _Laserblast_ starts to sound like a good idea.

      Lived waaaay out in the mid-Florida sticks back then. One friggin' channel that our aerial picked up _fairly_ consistently; I would be up late many a night watching the movies-til-dawn sponsored by some car dealership. I still distinctly remember watching _Mark of the Vampire, King Kong Escapes, Plan Nine from Outer Space, Varan the Unbelievable, Destroy All Monsters, Blood Mania, Twisted Brain_ and many many more at two or three in the morning, school nights be damned. It was an NBC affiliate, so I also got the extended/reshot "two-night miniseries" versions of _Airport '77, King Kong_ (1976), _Two-Minute Warning,_ and _The Swarm._ (Nothing to do with _Laserblast,_ I just wanted to revel in nostalgia for a bit.)

    Story time. In the early 2000’s I house hunted in Los Angeles. At one house I was seeing, the realtor told me the homeowner was a bit weird and the house had no cable or internet and maybe not even phone lines. He said the guy had banned media from his life and only listened to records. He said he directed a movie in the 70’s and didn’t like how Hollywood treated him so he banned media from his life. As I toured the house, I noticed a framed movie poster for Laserblast with his name as the director. I bought the house and he moved onto a yacht he built and sailed out of Los Angeles forever. True story. He was also a horrible electrician.

    Thanks so much for doing a reaction to this! For years I had images from it running through my head because I saw it as a kid who wasn't even old enough to speak yet. So I was convinced it was only a dream. Then I was convinced it wasn't a dream and Mark Hamill was the lead who turned into one of those creatures. But when I looked up his IMDb I could never find this movie. So then I went back to being convinced it was just from my imagination again. Then many decades later I finally found it again on RUclips!

    The gold git was played by Keenan Wynn, son of Ed Wynn (Uncle Albert in "Mary Poppins") and the doctor was Roddy McDowall from most of the older Planet of the Apes films, 1973 "The Legend of Hell House" (recommended), "Lassie Come Home", 1967 "It!", "Bedknobs and Broomsticks", "The Cat from Outer Space" and many more. The sheriff was also the sheriff in the TV show "Murder She Wrote".

    You picked a great terrible movie!I love this since it was released in 78. This movie exists for one reason. To capitalize on the popularity of science fiction post Star Wars. This and a bunch of other really awful movies were jammed into theaters to rip off and make money in the wake of the George Lucas juggernaut. Star Pilot, Star Crash, Message from Space all came out in rapid succession. Some of it actually manages to be charming low budget fare but other features like “Laserblast” were just low budget. Eddie Dezen played the twerpy loud mouthed skinny guy and he actually was able to parlay a decent film career as a character actor and appears in Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis movies. Weird huh?
    Great video! Thanks for being the only person who does stuff like this! In this same vein I recommend “Message from Space” Japanese 1978 and the “Buck Rodgers” tv pilot movie with Gil Gerard. Fun stuff!

    BTW, there was an unofficial remake of this called Deadly Weapon (1989), but without the aliens.

    Hi, Jen, have you seen any of the classic Sci-Fi films? Universal released 2 volumes in 2006-7 called "The Classic Sci-Fi Ultimate Collection" and the same with "Volume 2" tacked on. Each has 5 films with at least 1 stand-out film. On the first set "The Incredible Shrinking Man" was one I saw a lot as a kid, Saturday afternoon TV fare. The same set has "The Monolith Monsters" which was new to me, maybe the weirdest of the set too. "Tarantula" is a classic and "The Mole People" is fun and "Monster on Campus" has "a prehistoric fish that turns animals and humans... into bloodthirsty monsters."
    Volume 2 has "The Deadly Mantis" with William Hopper (from "Perry Mason") plus "Dr. Cyclops" (mad doctor shrinks people to 1/5 their size), "Cult of the Cobra" (6 G.I.s make enemies of snake women), "The Land Unknown" (typical dinosaur film) and "The Leech Woman" (aren't they all? Kidding.).

      Enthusiastic seconding for Trog, which bears the dubious distinction of being the final film of legendary film actress Joan Crawford, veteran of many classy movies in Hollywood's glory days for nearly half a century. (In the late 1930's, a lot of people thought she was a shoo-in to be cast as Scarlett O'Hara.) Say what you like about the lady, she was a consummate pro; she divorced three men rather than compromise her career, in the course of which she made many experiments (of which, regrettably, Trog seems one of the more ludicrous). 😳 😎

      He likewise was in Joe Dante's 1978 film Piranha and (I think his last) Peter Hunt's 1986 film Hyper Sapien: People From Another Star (which Jen can find in the "Sci-Fi Invasion" 50-movie DVD set; disc #4, feature #3). 😎

    Noooooo! Not Laserblast, noooooo! Well, okay. Wow! Quite the interesting choice for any day. You know Kim Milford played Rocky Horror in the original stage play of The Rocky Horror Show. He didn’t make many films, but he did do some memorable ones. He actually played a good evil sleazy bad guy, against Mark Hamill, in “Corvette Summer”.

    Very surprised you reviewed this! Love your commentary & impromptu dialog for the aliens!! 😂 Thought I was the only one who saw this movie lol. I saw parts of this once on a dead Saturday afternoon back in the 80s then found on Prime Video couple years ago. Foggy was in "Grease".
    There's an equally bad movie but I don't remember the title. Takes place around a desert ranch house shaped like a pyramid and has something to do with dimension travel (I think). There are also little stop-motion aliens & spaceships that are at war with each other. If I find it I'll add the title, unless someone knows what it's called.

    • @goldenager59
      @goldenager59 2 года назад +1

      I believe (99%) that you refer to The Day Time Ended (aka Time Warp), from 1980, directed by one John "Bud" Cardos. I too think this would be a ripe plum for Jen to pick; you remember the basic details well, except that the pyramid structure is separate from (but near to) the ranch house.
      I seem to recall Jen's having scooped up the Mill Creek DVD 12-disc compendium "Sci-Fi Invasion", of which this was feature #1 on disc #1. (I know because I have it myself.) 😉

      It puts ME in mind of the 1982 compilation movie, It Came From Hollywood, hosted by Dan Aykroyd, John Candy, Cheech and Chong, and (the late and much-missed) Gilda Radner. It's not as good as it could have been, but it's a must-see for anyone who loves cheesy movies. (It was based, I am told, on the book The Golden Turkey Awards, from Harry Medved, the same guys who brought us The Fifty Worst Films of All Time as well as Son of Golden Turkey Awards [his brother Michael was a TV film critic for a time in the 80's], and all three are uproariously funny, indispensable for the cheesy-movie scholar.)
