Didn't they used to use giant iguana shots as dinosaurs? I seem to recall that at least Flash Gordon (Buster Crabbe) fought one
"Mine was Tuesday - I'm 28 now!"
Happy Birthday to you, too! Mine's coming up this week, also :)
They did used to do that in "Flash Gordon", and also in some 50s US monster movies. I think one was "The Giant Gila Monster".
Heh.
Richard Burton's not doing too well right now.
Oh, yeah, Gecko-Roman Wrestling. There was an MST3K ep that featured that, either first or second season. Can't remember which one it was, though. Corman or Lippert film, I think.
MST3K never did "Them!", but they did do "Phase IV", in Season Zero.
Doesn't he get really sick or something?
Well....he's kinda going off the deep end: tried to swim to China. They got him tied down to a hammock.
I've never seen the MSTYfied version of that, just the straight one--which is really, really awful :)
"Well....he's kinda going off the deep end: tried to swim to China. They got him tied down to a hammock."
Yep, that's the crazy guy in the hammock part I remember :) Didn't know he was trying to swim to China--yeah, I'd say that's going off the deep end! :)
He's getting better.
But I think the old guy just died.
"Oh, yeah, Gecko-Roman Wrestling."
LOL! I remember that line, though not the movie it went with. Never saw "Phase IV", I don't think.
Well, Kikuchiyo is insane but yes, Katsushiro's the most interesting. Of course some of them don't have very distinct personalities... Kikuchiyo, Katsushiro, and Kambei are really the only ones I can identify without question...
"Of course some of them don't have very distinct personalities..."
I suppose having multiple Japanese names all beginning with "K" doesn't help make them any more distinct :) Which part are you at?
I thought they did one about giant ants invading desert towns.
Well except for the old guy dying, it looks like it's going to turn out all right. Richard Burton ends up with Ava Gardner.
Phase IV, hmmm... basically, desert ants get smart and attack a remote scientific outpost, eventually taking it over and hypnotically enslaving the man and woman who survive the attack. Early-70's monster/horror flick, heavily influenced by the Psychedelic Age.
