Tonight's Stinker: The Vulture (1966)

Tonight's Stinker 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...

Tonight's Stinker Flight to Mars (1951) https://youtu.be/ARZX__yEhww?si=Ji4cANFKAuket__Y Four men & a woman go to Mars.... The first thirty minutes are dreadful, with the pilot & woman going through a break-up in space, the reporter constantly trying to take advantage of the situation, and one of the scientists is a depresso pondering the futility of the mission.... Then the ship is hit by a meteor, & the crash-land on Mars... There, they meet a group of Martians who promise to help them, but secretly plan to steal the ship & take over earth, while a group of dissidents help them escape.....

Tonight's Stinker: The Flying Saucer (1950)

Tonight's Stinker The Flying Saucer (1950) https://youtu.be/XUtbvrmMO6w?si=7ImYlFwBmFcye_44 A '50s spy mystery that doesn't move for the first thirty minutes, then gives away the entire plot in about five minutes... A spy hiding out as a millionaire playboy is sent to his boring little hometown in Alaska to look for flying saucers, but first, he partnered with a female agent whose mission is to make his life as boring as possible... Pretty slow paced, but makes up for it in video postcards....

Tonight's Stinker The Two Headed Monster (1959) AKA Manster

Tonight's Stinker The Two Headed Monster (1959) AKA Manster https://youtu.be/unyV97WKNzY?si=VPBbyVwoPxgX5jdp Painfully slow & plodding... An American reporter in Japan visits a scientist who's been working on devolution... The scientist drugs the reporters drink & shoots him up with the devolution drug, then sends him on his way... Back in Tokyo, the editor wants the reporter to take one last job, but he just wants to get back to New York to a marriage on the rocks from all his traveling.... This quickly changes when the scientist & his lovely assistant show up, taking him on lavish dinners & bath houses.... After a few days of this, he becomes a mean drunk... Mostly Theremin for the first 45 minutes....

Tonight's Stinker: FLASHMAN (1967)

Tonight's Stinker FLASHMAN (1967) https://youtu.be/XRxcSeqzjQI?si=qTZxWYY5ZmE2HIop An Italian goof of Batman, with a theme song to match... A scientist creates an invisibility serum which is promptly stolen by gangsters... Meanwhile, a group of pretty girls is running a counterfeiting ring at the same bank the invisible man decides to rob... Flashman manages to get the money back from the gangsters & lead police to the counterfeiters, but then the invisible man & the leader of the girl gang decide to team up to rob the richest man in the world... Very goofy, with plenty of riffable convenient plot twists....
