It's supposed to be stunning.


I own this film. It was a great MST3K episode. The film sans robots making fun of it the whole time borders on cinematic torture. Wow... this film is wretched. Billed as the first "Monster Musical". BAD cinematography, BAD acting (the director had the starring role), BAD lighting, BAD effects, its cheese/camp entertainment value and sheer ridiculousness are really all it has going for it.

I'd say Manos is worse though.

It came out 6 years after the first movie, and was directed (and co-written!) by Sylvester Stallone. Frank Stallone is all over the soundtrack, and appears gratuitously in the movie as well.

Man, I just can't help but laugh watching men dance in big productions. The drama, the passion, the headbands -- and the hideously bulging crotches. Parody cannot do the real thing justice.

And Tall Chris and I started a new band during the movie -- "Face Anus," named for Travolta's insanely puckered chin.


Thank you guys for bumping this thread. Its been a while since Coach and I (and our respective significant others) have had a Shitty Movie Night.

Recently we did watch this "movie":

Holy fuck, that was shitty. Worth it to for the line "Do I look like I'm in a fucking coma?".

watched "Battle Royale 2" a few nights later. oh my god, was that the worst fucking film i've seen in some time.


I have been very frightened to attempt watching the "sequel"....

I recommend "Pumpkinhead" as a bad movie. I watched this because I love the awesomeness that is LANCE HENRIKSEN---a trained method actor who does almost nothing but B-horror shite. Even with him in it I couldn't bear this trash...This might have been mentioned before--I haven't combed through all the pages of posts. If so, I second it.

The ultimate zing!

I am an ENORMOUS Ray Dennis Steckler aka Wolfgang Schmidt aka Cash Flagg aka whatever fan. If you enjoyed "Incredibly Strange Creatures" you should definitely check out "Blood Shack" aka "Curse of the Evil Spirit" aka "The Chooper." It's one of my favourite b-movies of all time.

Best $0.50 I've ever spent.

If enough people were interested I may be persuaded to transfer this title to DVD!


I would be interested. I think that one can purchase the DVD nowadays, but all the copies are from Australia and it's pretty expensive what with the shipping and such. I'm guessing that at least 10 of my friends would purchase a DVD copy.

There is a Lionman Appreciation Society on Facebook! My ex- found it last week and sent me an invite to cheer me up after I was fired from my job.

Take your pick from this list (minus Dazed & Confused of course): http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000190/

My personal favorite being Tiptoes though I hear Reign of Fire is great for non-stop homoerotic McConaughey on Bale action set to CGI dragon fighting.

Tiptoes really needs to be seen though. I cannot describe how headscratchingly bad it is. David Allen Grier gets it on with a sexy dwarf! Worth the price of admission alone.

And since Matthew McC is rumored to be playing Captain America, how could we forget ANY of the 1980's attempts at translating Marvel Comics characters to the big (but usually direct-to-video) screen.
