Hello everyone and welcome to my channel The Baak Collective which concentrates on classic Movies & TV. I have a nostalgic approach covering all genres giving you a behind the scenes look at classic movies and TV shows. I try my very best to give you good quality videos. I know in this day and age you can’t please everyone but I’m sure there is something for everyone on here.
First saw this when I came home from work at 1 in the morning. Woke up my wife at the time laughing, she wasn't impressed with being woken up but ended up goggling along side me.
Whenever Batgirl was on the show they added an extra animated graphic of cartoon batgirl on her bike crossing the screen during opening titles. We knew it was going to be a good one.
Thanks for this video! One thing. Effects can't look "dated" and still amazing. I think about 75% of the effects are still amazing and the obvious matte paintings are still ok because they give a great "old school" comic book vibe (not in a bad simplistic way). The film should NOT be remade!! However, perhaps a prequel "Death of the Krell" or something like that exploring the giant machine could be fascinating. Monsters from the ID! A line that will remain famous!
The movie-style poster at 1:20 is a classic of camp misrepresentation on a level with that famous 1977 Star Wars poster with a saucy, leggy Leia and a super buff, bare-chested Luke. Quite similar, really, with a miraculously not dead Paul Foster defending two poor, helpless, also miraculously not dead Moonbase girls out on the lunar surface, no-one bothering with spacesuits.
I grew up near Boston. The local station must have edited this film. I saw it several times and never did we see the Martian head with the tentacles. There is also an alternate ending. Jimmy wakes up at the end, sticks his head out the window and it starts raining. We saw both endings.
I enjoyed the updating of travel mode from ships and boats to the modern helicopter. Much tedious stock footage of a prolonged upriver journey was thus avoided and the explorers reached the prehistoric plateau in reasonable time!
Nobody ever mentions the music for this movie by Herman Stein, Hans J. Salter, and Henry Mancini, except for Jonny Baak. Thanks! The music suits the visuals perfectly!
I watched this film last night after seeing excerpts in the video to 'Anomaly' by Carl Finlow. I really enjoy these B-movies after being captivated by 'Them' when I was young. I guess the time loop at the end of the movie just gets faster all the time until the whole thing takes just a second and beyond that?
you know when 9/11 happened I thought about the first time I saw this film as a teenager. My friends and I talked about the film for days, horrified at the chaos, fear and disaster that the fire inferno caused. Then it really happened.
Actually the film was fun, it is a Star wars ripoff but it was more realistic in terms aa sex and drug use (something that Star wars didn't had because it was a more family friendly trilogy).
I got the DVD set but originally watched it on black white television in the 1967 1968 in western australia as a 8 yearold but never got to watch every episode because I was in the wheatbelt of country west australia and sometimes in bad whether we could no get a television piture.But I watched every episode when I got the DVD set.Its a wonder roy thinnes did not become a more famous actor he had good looks a good actor
Like Flash Gordon and Big Trouble in Little China, an absolutely brilliant piece of garbage. How many "important" movies of countless boring "Oscar seasons" have even a fraction of the jubilance put into this flaming bag of poop? Can't tell you how many times I watched this as a kid, and somehow my pre-pubescent brain sadly could appreciate camp more than most adults in America. The sheer audacity of the flying motorcycle scene - knowing full well its own ridiculousness - represents the apogee of its immense fun. Thank you for putting together this video full of more information than anyone would ever need to know, but absolutely should know anyway. The Breaking Bad connection alone was especially chuckle-worthy!
Anne Francis liked to tell the story of when her young grandsons were visiting and watching this movie at her house for the first time. She had it on tape and only told them that it was a movie with a cool robot in it. When she first appeared on screen, the littlest kid jumped off the couch and pointed at the TV and loudly yelled "There's Grandma!" which made her and everyone else there laugh.
I watched them all, and loved it. Saw the reboot come out. Did not watch it. Glad I didn't now that I see it suffered the same fate as the original. With streaming services, it is becoming more common for me to wait rather than getting invested in something that isn't going to work out. Of course, as more people do that, it will hurt the chances of shows making it, but studios are bringing this on themselves. Too many great shows have been cancelled over the years with frustrating cliff hangers as the final episode, or just stopped in the middle of a season. In many cases, it seems the story has a similar tale, creative differences. These studios seem to think anybody can hear a premise, and write for the show. Star Trek has so many bad episodes because studios just threw a bunch of writers at it, that knew nothing about the universe. Catfish/Salamanders anyone? Yeah, I thought not. Or, they think they know what needs to be in it. B5 was great. Then WB annihilated Crusade by insisting on controlling what was in the show. Yeah, more fist fights was what the show needed. I wish they would let the original creators/producers/directors run with their own ideas. In fact, more shows should be like Babylon 5. JMS had the full 5 year outline before the show started. He wrote episodes as the show was being produced, but it was already decided where he was going with it all. I seriously HATE reboots, but when JMS said he wanted to reboot B5, I was happy about it. He wants to retell it with modern effects that are better suited to his vision. They were rendering the original show on Amigas. I remember a website where JMS would answer questions about current episodes. In the scene where Sinclair steals Babylon 4 an goes back in time to give it to the Minbari for the previous war, he is flanked by two Vorlons in their encounter suits. Someone asked why they didn't have the Vorlons out of their suits, and his response was "Because we'd still be rendering it."
