About 35 minutes in, the guide & one of the hikers start having dreams about being abducted by aliens, & another gets sick....
Talky & fairly slow paced, many questions go unanswered aside from hints at an old indian legend.....

Aliens attack a space station & several earth cities....
A science alliance in Tokyo develops a new kind of laser gun, & heads for the moon....
For some reason, all of this takes way longer than I'm describing.....

The captain & the geologist are talking science, while the stripper's boyfriend has nothing nice to say about everyone else....

The Vulture (1966)
https://youtu.be/HWaJv1hOHuk?si=7TpnV3KaZ01a4cCb
It has to do with a family of British aristocrats, whom several centuries earlier were cursed by the owner of a giant bird....
It starts with a school marm seeing the grave of the bird owner open up & a giant bird comes out...
Of course, nobody believes this except for an American scientist who (get this) doesn't believe in an olde witch's curse, but thinks that someone has been messing with "nuclear trans-mutations"....
From there, it turns into a slow, meandering whodunnit with only two suspects...
Of course, there is a monster, which is pretty goofy, with an almost "Scooby-Doo" reveal...

Pretty slow paced, but makes up for it in video postcards....

Once on the moon, two of the astronauts find a cave, then disappear...
The spaceship then receives a message from aliens saying they are not welcome....
The astronauts try to go home, but the aliens are shooting earth with a freeze ray.....
Sorta comes across like one of those movies were the plot keeps changing for no reason...

Rather dry & meandering documentary that starts off by touching on how Roswell more or less started the alien genre, then wonders into rubber suit monster & the guys who made them, then just wonders off....
About halfway through, the audio & video become unsynched....

At one point, the drug lord's henchmen are wearing red baseball caps....
Predictable in many ways, but delightfully corny...

During medieval times, a wizard (Klaus Kinski) prays for an angel, and the next thing y'know, the villagers are demanding the local count to do something about a Dragon.... Of course, the count has his own problems with a social climbing soldier, a rebellious daughter and a priest who sees evil everywhere...
However, the angel/dragon is really a space alien (Harvey Keitel) who falls for the princess, but can't take off his helmet, or he'll suffocate...
Really bad VHS dub with re-dubbed audio...
Sorta plays out like an SNL skit that got turned into a movie, like a fairy tale with four letter words & some nudity, that starts out with everyone talking backwards like Yoda....

Trump never said "Unified Reich"
Trump NEVER said nazis were "very fine people", And he never said "Unified Reich"...
Nor did the third party that created the video mention anything about a "Unified Reich"...
The phrase in question was placed there by the video editing service used by the third party....
The phrase, “German industrial strength significantly increased after 1871, driven by the creation of a unified Reich” was coined during world War 1, Years before the nazis were created...
The only way this text is readable, is if one finds the original template, but not while watching the video.....
