Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews: THE GREEN SLIME 

This movie came out (and I saw it on the big screen, by the way) in 1968 -- the same year that "2001 - A Space Odyssey" came out. But this movie had a way groovier theme song.

Movies like this just remind me of how much I really miss models. The station looks like a toy, but it has a certain charm to it. I'm starting to think that there is still a market out there for modern films that use old-fashioned techniques.

Best. Theme. Ever. "Is it just something in your head? But you'll believe it when you're dead! The Green Sliiiiiiiiiiiiime!"

I can just imagine MST3K's joke when that bottle gets smashed at 6:20 - "But that's a major discovery!" "Now it's garbage!"

Green Slime is perhaps one of the greatest "B" movie sci-fi ever......

Happy 50th anniversary to “The Green Slime”!

"Empty his thunderballs in your Paluzzi.." I owe you a beer.

Nudity, murder, gore long as it's pre 70's its rated g.

I wish Alien had a groovalicious 60s theme song

I watched this at my babysitter's house when I was maybe 6 or 7 years old. It scared the living shit out of me.

5:33 "Don't touch the goo, this is alien planet rule number 1" (honest trailer guy)

That theme song belongs on all those Halloween song compilations, I'm sick of the Monster Mash over and over.

this is a psychedelic Lovecraftian movie

Despite you playing the ever loving shit out of the theme, I still didn't get enough!

This movie was Written by Bill Finger, the co-creator of Batman who came up with all the stuff about the character that people like. I thought it'd be nice to let people know that.

Nostromo self destruct siren. Nice. I would've went with the "get the fuck out of there" music from the end of Metroid, but that might've been too obscure.

That is the funkiest soundtrack to a monster movie since Legends of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds.

Greeeeen Sliiiime 🎵

There's something inherently awesome about hearing that song play while guys in generic futuristic space wear fight off low budget aliens.

Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnn slimeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Damn song is still stuck in my head! :P

Oh bless you, sir! The Green Slime at long last!!

I love this movie, used to watch on late night TNT Monster Vision. This has the funkiest theme song ever heard in a sci-fi film

Back when effects were practical, G-rated films had a little gore, theme songs were groovy, and films were actually entertaining.

I can't believe those "monsters" scared me to death when I was a kid 🤣

That's bizarre...I literally just watched _The Green Slime_ for the first time three days ago. Well, great review as always for another sci-fi classic.

According to Wikipedia (yeah, I know) the MPAA ratings system went into effect the same year this movie came out (1968). And at that time, the ratings were G--suggested for general audiences, M--suggested for mature audiences, R--Restricted - persons under 16 not admitted, unless accompanied by parent or adult guardian and X, persons under 16 not admitted. In the 70s, M was changed to GP, which then changed to PG in 1972 and R was changed from under 16 required an adult to under 17 required an adult. PG-13 came along in 1984 (heh) and in 1990 X was changed to NC-17. So, basically the ratings system at the time of this movie's release was a beta version and has been revised several times since then. source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_Picture_Association_of_America_film_rating_system

When I first saw that movie back in the 70's, I realized that this movie could have been a direct influence to the movie "Alien". Even now, in heidsight, watching it, you can see bits of it's influence in the series. I fully believe that this film definitely played a part in the development of the Alien franchise.

I wanted to see this so bad when it came out in 1968. I was 9 and my Dad wouldn’t let me see it. I feel like I missed out, but I followed it for years in Famous Monsters of Filmland.

A movie where the persons making it genuinely seemed not to have realized that their theme song was more awesome than the film itself could ever hope to be. Thank you, Mr. Tenold, for making the movie vastly more awesome by its correct placement.

Fun review. If you haven't seen & reviewed 67's "Battle Beneath the Earth," I think you'll really enjoy it. The IMDB synopsis: A Chinese general goes berserk and has a system of tunnels dug all the way from China to USA, under the Pacific Ocean! Wherever there is an important military base, he places atomic bombs. US Navy soldiers go underground to repel the invaders. Great 'B' schlock.

This movie is far more awesome than it has any right to be. I saw it on TCM and had to immediately purchase the Blu-ray.

That theme song is wonderful I just love it

I have a pretty good one for you from 1964......"Robinson Crusoe On Mars". An American astronaut is shipwrecked on Mars with a monkey........decent special effects, Adam West in a very minor role..........AND A FRIGGIN' SPIDER MONKEY!!! The lower end of the credits actually say (I saw it in the movie and it's also listed on IMDB like this): Adam West Col. Dan McReady Mona The Woolly Monkey WTF????

The William Finger credited with the screen story is the same Bill Finger who is the real creator of Batman.

Gotta love 1960's sci-fi horror movies. Corny and creepy at the same time.

I remember my Dad introducing me to this movie on TV during a Saturday monster movie marathon in the early 80s as a kid. I miss you Pop!

4:07 In the not too distant future, Next Sunday A.D.

Oh, it's official! Green Slime theme? New ring tone!

I know Brandon probably doesn't read comments from videos from 5 years ago but I had to order this film off off Amazon today!! Seen this review several times but had the itch THANKS!! Brandon 😎

I would love to see a big budget, serious take, remake of this movie. I love this movie actually.

Dude, I'm geeking out! I saw this movie on TV back in 1984, when I was 7, loved it back then.

Made by Toei, before they made Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds, Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, and Magic Serpent.

The 60s did kick some ass back in the day ...

Well dude, I'd take those "rubber' monsters over those stupid COMPUTER ANIMATED ones that you see in every other movie coming out of Hollywood TODAY! 3:35 actually, I think maybe the 1979 flick titled 'Meteor had the right idea - fire at it with missiles. Evidently rated G meant something quite different than what it would later come to mean.

8:39 "Even though this guy's shirt isn't red, I'm guessing he's not surviving this scene..." 8:44 Well, now his shirt's red...

Seen this in the theater when I was a 10, never forgot the song 👍😎👍

You, when you consider how being green organic matter implies that the monsters have chlorophyll, the sun healing it makes some sense.

I loved that theme song. [It was the most memorable part of the film.]

At the11:20-11:30 mark, I was half expecting the dude to end with “the revolution will not be televised.”

“He put up a good fight” “Not really, he screamed and then died”

Gotta admit the theme song is kinda catchy!

I'm disappointed you didn't bring up the fact this is directed by Kinji Fukasaku. Who made Battle Royale

Better than Cloverfield Paradox.

Saw this in the movie as a kid , im 58 and still remember that funky song !!!

Only the bestest scifi-horror movie with a groovin' jazzy beats

"To find the answer is to keep it"

I was 8 years old when i saw this movie, rated G..... man i remember having nightmares with this one. theme song guy from banana splits. oh and do " Brain 17 "

From the washing up liquid bottle space ships to the goofy monsters this is the pinnacle of sixties sf.Apparently there was some other minor sf movie made the same year by some guy called Kubrick but the production values struggled to match this US Japanese masterpiece.

Anyone else going to mention the space agency acronym was UNSC? (Halo theme plays)

Just watched this at Gfest 2019. Then I bought it in the dealer room. Money well spent in my opinion.

Slimer: Origins

The cheesiest sci-fi movie with the coolest theme song!

The theme is a legit bop!

Great episode! saw this movie on VHS when I had a Kinji Fukasaku marathon after watching Battle Royale (2000), Was shocked as you when his graphic visceral violence made it into this Hollywood co-production. Didn't see that when he directed the Japanese part of Tora! Tora! Tora!

Every time I hear that theme song I think of Nancy Sinatra dancing in a mini skirt and go-go boots

Someone named Rankin but no one named Bass? Very disappointed!

"Something screaming 'cross your mind!" Gotta love the 60s. GREEEEEEEN SLIIIIIIIIME!

The theme song is one of my favorite things from this video

Please never stop what you are doing. I've discovered a lot of awesome movies through watching your channel.

Hard to believe that this movie came out the same year as 2001: A Space Odyssey.

It's a shame Barbarella couldn't be in this.

This theme song is so catchy, I'd like to see this movie.

I have vague memories about seeing this movie on TV as part of a "creature feature" on Saturday afternoon when I was just a kid. I never knew the name of it, but I remember it because it scared the crap out of my 8yo self at the time. I didn't remember that catchy song though! How did I not pick up on that?

Had fun watching this. A few years ago, I got a great Green Slime figure. Very cool.

Using the Spaceballs final countdown would have been sweet too.

The writers really doped out a script for this film. GREEN SLIME!!!!!!!!!

I really want to see this movie now

This film is like a story line that could be used for one of the alien movies :) I’ve ordered this on Blu-ray, I’ve always had a soft spot for this film, even though the creatures look silly, they still bring a sense of danger to the film

"Noname Macfirstkill is fucking dead" - and thats why Brandon is the best.

Wow, the "William Finger" actually IS the guy who co-created Batman with Bob Kane. He also co-created Green Lantern, according to Wiki. And, the producers actually did intend for this to be a sort of sequel to "Wild, Wild Planet" and "War of the Planets".

Don't worry Elliot-you'll later be a recurring character on Baywatch

I've seen enough creepy tentacle shit to know where this is going! (Also what the hell is he doing here? At 15:52 the directive from Dogorah?!)

That... is one /killer/ theme!

One of my favorite films of all time!!!!!

If this does not have a "You Can't Do That On Television" joke I will be very upset.

I've watched that movie when I was about 4. It terrified me so much I couldn't sleep afterward. I remembered enough of it to be able to search what it was and find its title after more that 40 years.

Growing up my brothers and I loved this movie. Would come on regular TV on Monster movie Saturdays once in a while. Last year I was able to get on Blu Ray. Not the greatest movie but I still enjoy it. Glad to have watched your review and found your page.

Open the door you'll find the secret To find the answer is to keep it You'll believe it when you find Something screaming 'cross your mind Green slime! What can it be, what is the reason Is this the end of all that breathes, and Is it something in your head? Will youbelieve it when you're dead? Green slime, green slime, green slime!

ATTACK of SIGMUND and the SEA MONSTERS!!

my favorite of them all (of your reviews), so far... cause I LOOOOOOOOOOVE The Green Slime.... in my top 10 movies of ALL-TIME!!!!!! thank you soooooooooo much for doing this one!!!!!!

Interesting fact, the song is for sale on itunes.

when I was a kid, I saw a movie ( or an episode of a antology series, who knows) about an astronaut stranded in a planetoid/asteroid, and made prisioner by a ciclops-like creature similar to the greenslime monsters. I have been looking for it for ages. the aestetic is similar to this movie but dont seems like it. I remember the creature spoke to the astronaut and could use his mind to keep his spaceship from launching.

Is anyone else totally rocking out to the theme song?

Fun fact: this movie was a source of inspiration for Tom Wham. He worked for TSR in the early days as a game designer and writer for Dragon Magazine. Anyway, he created Awful Green Things From Outer Space and cited this as an inspiration in the designer's notes.

I hope random Green Slime theme becomes a thing in future videos. It's weirdly awesome.

This movie was 100% better then last weeks compared to the great alligator this is an Oscar worthy movie lol but great commentary as always Brandon look forward to next weeks video

Best theme song you've covered for sure.

It's Sigmund from Sigmund the sea monsters cousin from outer space!

They would never let them come back to earth. But on the bright side they would have high schools named after them.

Imagine this movie had a remake.
