Sounds like a great movie to watch in light of Bill Gates’ mosquito experiments.

It used to be on frequently in LA back in the 50s and 60s. I’ve probably seen it a dozen times. Great entertaining schlock for MST3K parties.

“It used to be on frequently in LA back in the 50s and 60s. I’ve probably seen it a dozen times.”
Yup; I saw it several times on TV back in those days. One of the local channels had a program called “Million Dollar Movie” — the theme music being Tiomkin’s theme from “High and the Mighty” — which would run the same movie for a week, always at the same time (I think it was 5:00 pm local time). And “The Beginning of the end” was one of the films shown. I remember at the time thinking, “I didn’t know Illinois looked just like California;” a snide comment about the fact the movie was filmed in Southern California.

LOL! I watched the first 5 minutes. At least they should have found a flat area of farmland north of Bakersfield. East central Illinois is FLAT.

I’ve seen it twice over the years. Not worth a third go.

...she endeavors to save Chicago despite a military cover-up. Big mistake. She should have let the grasshoppers eat Chicago.

A great deal of the US looked like Southern California in the vintage Untouchables.

I remember Million Dollar Movie. They showed the same movie every evening for a week. When they ran “Godzilla” I watched it 3 nights in a row. Lol.

SoCal is everywhere! Even Guam looks like SoCal in Windtalkers.

Peter Graves was in this movie? Surely you can’t be serious.

I thought I remembered Million dollar Movie’s music theme was from Gone With the Wind...
To: V K Lee
Kind of far fetched that something could leak from a secret government lab..here or in another country... and even more unbelievable that our trusted democrat government scientist would cover it up.

Saw this movie as an 8 year old with my folks at a drive in. It was cool then.

Enormous grasshoppers and the military covers it up....
The corrupt media would deny deny deny even as people see the enormous grasshoppers hopping on by and munching on people.
