Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

w0aq I first saw this when broadcast on USA Network's "Night Flight" program in the early 1980's. I was so struck by it at that time that I wrote a letter to the USA Network trying to find out how to procure a copy. They never answered. I recently discovered it for sale and although my humor has changed a bit in the last 20 years and I had forgotten most of it, it is still a riot and I am glad to have it in my DVD collection. The idea of stringing together various black and white footage and changing the dialogue is great. This was all done with analog equipment obviously, but it would be a great project to do now with the digital stuff. Some folks, whose humor would run counter to this, would be put off by it but if you like something funny and different, this is really unique.

Mike-764 A bizarre villain, as well as a master of disguise, known as the Lightning Bug is planning to eliminate all easy listening and classical music to be replaced by whining banal rock. Its up to the J-Men and stock footage from Republic serials to save the day. The movie is hilarious, even if you never seen a serial in your life. The footage is intercut in the story flawlessly. The only setbacks are the actual filmed scenes and the fact that the film wasn't any longer. If your a serial fan though, this DVD is for you. Rating- 9.PS- The extra includes an interview by Philip Proctor with George Wallace, lead in the 1952 serial Radar Men from the moon. Judging from the way the interview went, Proctor didn't have all of his facts straight entering the query.

CatTales Not only redubbing a film but combining many different serial films into one is a great idea but is hampered by an overabundance of unclever fart and sex jokes. Also with little background sound added it just sounds like someone sitting in a soundproof room, and seems unconvincing. At lease on MST3K there's the original soundtrack going along with the comedic robots(& the jokes are clever). Woody Allen did it better in 1966 with "What's up tiger lily?" and really took advantage of how absurd new dialogue could change a film. FYI Firesign's Hot Shorts video uses the same movie serials but overdubs them individually.

Hoss-8 Anyone who is familiar with the old serials would be familiar with the characters used in this film. Commando Cody becomes Bullethead. Captain America is known as lone star. Captain Marvel and other heroes also appear. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes odd humor.
