The older I get, the more I realize just how many good movies were on MST3K.

@613harbinger316 Год назад

After watching their riff of _Parts: The Clonus Horror,_ I remember thinking, "Damn! That was a really good movie!" And what do you know, a few years later Michael Bay makes a remake of it in _The Island._

@AkuTenshiiZero Год назад

For a 1950's film, those effects are actually amazing. Way beyond their time.

@Hogtownboy1 Год назад

I actually saw this in the thretre as a kid on Saturday matinee with Abbot and Catello meets the mummy. in 1960. Only kids were allowed in to see the film. Our parents would drop us off and then go home to create my baby sister lol

@n.a.4292 Год назад

Gun nut to the rescue! I think those were supposed to be water-cooled machine guns, not gatling guns. Edit: if I remember correctly, those are gas-powered mock-ups: they used gas to give the impression of shooting because real guns and blanks were too expensive, or forbidden.

@charleshetrick3152 Год назад

Fellow gun nerd here, thank you for saving me the effort.

@justletmelistthese Год назад

it is probably a real Vickers or Maxim with no barrel or trigger assembly only the shroud and body, with a blowtorch in the shroud; the fire flares up but never stops burning.

I thought I recognized the 'disappearing' effect! It had the same 'sheen' as the car effect in Repo Man. Awesome!

@hieloluna Год назад

I can’t believe they filmed this in five days. It doesn’t seem possible. They had multiple sets.

@cpl.barbarusc4814 Год назад

I can almost see this film as a classic Sci Fi comic book of the 50s published by EC Comics. What a nice find Cecil.

@ItsMrAssholeToYou Год назад

Those aren't Gatling guns, Cecil, thought the mistake is understandable. Those are water-cooled Brownings (probably, there are a number of water-cooled machine guns). The large water jacket around the barrel does somewhat resemble the rotating assembly of barrels found on Gatling and miniguns. The easiest giveaway for spotting a Gatling gun, is all Gatling guns are operated via hand-crank (making them technically not automatic weapons).

@ivanelgharbi5861 Год назад

5 days? it look way way better than it has the right to be

@hiddentruth1982 Год назад

it's the holes in the plot that make him visible.

@princeofcupspoc9073 Год назад

0:20 "Gatling guns!" Cecil, Cecil. Those are Maxim or Hotchkiss machine guns, used extensively during World War I. That's a water reservoir for cooling, not extra barrels.

@tinfoilhat3268 Год назад

Comment for visibility

@MandleRoss Год назад

Interesting. Also, a stapler is called a "Hotchkiss" in Japanese. Did the same company make guns AND staplers?!

Truly a low-budget Faust. Call him a Faustian bargain!

@alankohn6709 Год назад

It is a good example of doing the best with what you have. Cheap doesn't mean bad and as many a modern movie has shown having all the money in the world doesn't mean good. I am always impressed with what SFX people in the early days of cinema could achieve without computers.

@kri249 Год назад

This is why those type of effects are my favourite. I love learning about the tricks and ingenuity that goes into making them. Plus they just look better than cgi to me.

@FreihEitner Год назад

I didn't realize the film was shot it just 5 days. It is pretty incredible by that standard.

@megatronjenkins2473 Год назад

I asked a gun nut about the type of ammunition required to "rip out your spine and roll it up like a ball of string", and was told "thirty thirty". Now, I know that's a real ammo type, but I was previously unaware of such effects. I'm off to the gun store to buy all the "thirty thirties"!!!

@PictureProductStudio Год назад

I wanted to say that it's a Maxim and not a Gatling, but I can forgive Cecil pretty much anything from the get go and today he gets a double of that for a stellar use of "Windowlicker" by Aphex Twin. This track needs more love, and the music video too. It's terrifying and hilarious rolled into crazy.

@SebastianMikulec Год назад

I was going to write the same thing that it's a Maxim Gun, the world's first fully automatic machine gun, made in the late 19th century and shockingly still sees use today.

@princeofcupspoc9073 Год назад

1:20 There's a good chance that the cop who stops the car and lets them go has not seen any pics of the convict's face. Before FAX and all.

@petergivenbless900 Год назад

The photographic effects are actually credited to Howard A. Anderson Co., Roger George was responsible for the physical on-set effects like floating objects on wires etc., whereas the rotoscoped optical effects of the invisibility process were created by the Photographic Effects company.

@Delightfully_Bitchy Год назад

5:28 This is "Windowlicker" by Apex Twin, to those wondering. Great tune, look it up.

@GoTakeADrive Год назад

Ah yes, Maxim, not Browning as I first thought. Gattling guns have multiple rotating barrels ... so our good friend is wrong here ...

This seems like a decent Invisible Man film. It’s not every day that The Invisible Man is kind of a tragic villain/anti-hero like in this film. Usually, The Invisible Man is a psychopathic madman.

There's nothing radiation can't do in old sci-fi movies. It can shrink you or turn you into a giant, it can transform you into a monster and it can make you invisible.

Nice to see Effects man Roger George mentioned. I knew Roger pretty well back in the day. He was on most of the low budget Corman films I worked on. He used to let me help him rig gags for the set. Taught me a lot a basic on set effects

Great job on the review, Cecil. I agree that for a movie shot in five days, it does look impressive. Also, kudos for the "five fingers say to the face". I gotta remember that one.

I laughed out loud at the summary of the film given! 😆😆. This film is barely an hour long & still better than many 2 or 3 hour films that I've set through. What part of Texas was this filmed in? I'm really looking forward to that Edgar G. Ulmer career retrospective, you got planned. Make sure to mention his 1965 film "the cavern". That's my favorite Edgar G. Ulmer flick.

As soon as I heard the character's name was Faust, I was thinking, "he's going to make a bad deal isn't he?"

@travisshallenberger9486 Год назад

Another old movie that ends with a message to the audience. Classic trope of the time. Probably the most famous and well executed would be the "Keep watching the skies" speech from The Thing From Another World, but there's plenty that are hammier and more preachy. But in showing Roger George's credits, you showed the poster for Repo Man. Now THERE'S a WTF movie ripe for showcasing on your channel!

Combination of genres and using broad genres like fantasy or sci-fi as a springboard for other genres like mystery or horror is always interesting. That's the thought process that led Asimov to write his Robot series, he wanted to do a sci-fi murder mystery.

2:56 this would be about the time Mike Bracken would have Danny say "Hell yeah!" 5:05 it's all about the message, Cecil. Faust (really?) was telling him "pay me more or it's _curtains_ for ya!" 11:56 so, what you're saying is... just as the movie starts to wear out it's welcome.. it _disappears?_

@johnchandler8476 Год назад

@herbertkeithmiller Год назад

Technically The guns the guards are firing are maxim machine guns. A single barreled water jacket cooled automatic repeating rifle. A Gatling gun has multiple barrels that rotate and fire one at a time. Since the same barrel is not continually firing no water cooling is needed. Pedantic rant ends.
