Tonight's Stinker The Breach (2013-I Think)

Tonight's Stinker The Breach (2013-I Think) https://youtu.be/Rh1bvFfdccg?si=bKv1_1jOQeRwzFoz And what a stinker... It looks like somebody got an autofocus night vision camera for Christmas, and got with some neighborhood teens & decided to make a zombie movie.... So, these two teenage girls go up the country, get lost & their car breaks down... One of them goes looking for help, & runs afoul of zombies in shrink-wrap.... Then she runs into someone who can barely remember his lines explains (for a really long time) how a group of scientists tore a hole in the universe & opened the gate to hell.... (At this point, I quit paying attention...) Then, they keep adding more characters who can barely remember their lines, none of which are delivered with any real sincerity.... Really goofy stop motion monster shows up in the second half.... I'd say, maybe, 0.00001% better than any given Polonia Bros flick....

Tonight's Stinker: Shoot the Living and Pray for the Dead (1971)

Tonight's Stinker Shoot the Living and Pray for the Dead (1971) https://youtu.be/1j6fCW5jL1E?si=nDFQkeEUyW1VNqSJ Okay, so, I've always enjoyed a good Spaghetti Western, and I've always admired Klaus Kinski's prolific film career, being known just as much for his bmovies as he is for his art house movies, and with the advent of the internet, I learned Kinski made a few of these westerns... So, something I had to get outa my system... This turned out to be a mystery/suspense... The first half follows the formula of a group of people holed up in a bar, with a group of bad guys, the leader being especially sadistic, & tensions rise... It turn out, the gang robbed a bank, which is all over the telegraph lines, their guide for the desert has been murdered, & their bagman is way late... At the bar, a stranger offers to show them the way to Mexico in exchange for half their loot... The loot shows up, & the second half of the movie is pretty much the formula of people lost in the desert, not sure if they can trust their guide...

Tonight's Stinker: The Pumaman (1980)

Tonight's Stinker The Pumaman (1980) https://youtu.be/e59kuXC_bzA?si=7ifvL64j3OVj3HWy So, a million years ago, aliens gave the Aztecs a gold mask, promising Pumaman would protect it.... Present day London, Donald Pleasance leads a group of villains in black leather jumpsuits, who have stolen the mask & intend to use it to control the minds of world leaders... But first, an archeologist warns him about the Pumaman, whom he resolves to find & kill.... Cut to a professor out for a jog, reading about a rash of murders... He goes back to work, where he senses danger, & a Latino with super human strength attacks him & tosses him out a window, but he survives... Later on, the Latino shows up at his house, tells the professor he's the Pumaman, & tries to get him to try on a belt... The audio is pretty grating most of the time, but the disco & midi-synth soundtrack is amusingly goofy... Campy fun that manages to stay engaging most of the time...

Tonight's Stinker: Colossus and the Amazon Queen (1960)

Tonight's Stinker Colossus and the Amazon Queen (1960) https://youtu.be/9sYoYgL4rGo?si=37UnmucRabitywFk So, it opens with an organized brawl, Glauco wins is the last man standing, & everybody walks away happy... Later that night, Pirro, his untrustable friend is approached by a pair of shady sailors who talk him into getting him on the next boat in exchange for drinking money.... Next morning, they're on the boat, & well. one thing leads to another.... Eventually, they make it to an island where they find promised gold & a table with free food & wine that's been drugged... The sailors abandon them to be enslaved by the Amazons.... Of course, the Amazons have their own set of problems, with the two alphas at each others throats, & a queen who's bored & likes to stay drunk.... Meanwhile, an escaped Egyptian inventor plots everyone's escape..... There's also a dated joke about an effeminate group of men.... Mostly comedy, with really poorly placed big band swing music during fight scenes....

Tonight's Stinker: Hercules and the Masked Rider (1963)

Tonight's Stinker Hercules and the Masked Rider (1963) https://youtu.be/64zVVd29-hI?si=TTZNu7xVj8pEDdJ1 So, uh, instead of ancient Greece, it's 16th century Spain, & Hercules is not the main character.... And so I'm having trouble remembering the first third of the movie, because I was too busy trying to wrap my head around that... Okay, so, in 16th century Spain, a Duke chases some escaping serfs onto a Don's property... The Duke threatens war unless he marries the Don's daughter... Old & committed to peace, the Don capitulates... However, a soldier betrothed to the Dona returns the next day, quickly learns the truth, gets exiled, & falls in with some gypsies, & becomes the masked rider.... A bad film print, ripped from a bad VHS, & the dubbing gets grating at times....

Tonight's Stinker: MST3K 517: Beginning of the End (1957)

Tonight's Stinker MST3K 517: Beginning of the End (1957) http://www.badmovies.org/movies/beginend/ https://youtu.be/E8kc3Z7Dxok?si=qBfkZ7g1IEJ5c35L A small Illinois town is destroyed, & all the residents disappear... A well known reporterette smells a story & decides to investigate.... After getting some pictures, both she & the national guard are stumped, until someone mentions a grain silo that collapsed a few months earlier... Instead of going strait to the silo, the reporterette stops at an agricultural scientists laboratory to ask for directions... He takes her to the wrecked silos, where they discover giant man-eating locusts... Must admit, I've seen the first half of this stinker several times, but for one reason or another, wasn't able to watch the end... Mike & the Bots jabs tend to produce some amusing one liners...

Tonight's Stinker: Demon of Paradise (1987)

Tonight's Stinker Demon of Paradise (1987) https://youtu.be/sZ_saM3D2fs?si=o2NcSjmywhrQYn1N Must mention that it's part of somebody else's weekend movie podcast... So, Anyway... Takes place in Hawaii, Opens with some potty-mouthed dynamite fishermen & their equally potty-mouthed dynamite suppliers who become one of the subplots... After the salesmen take off, a guy in a fish suit shows up, the boats rocks & they drop the dynamite & everybody gets killed.... The local natives are complaining about a shortage of fish, & an elder talks about a demon... They do a hula dance to get rid of the monster, but a local fisherman ticks it off.... There's also a female scientist who believes the beast is real, and a local sheriff whom, no thanks to a sleezy reporter, we learn he lost his last job because he couldn't catch a serial killer... Meanwhile, the owner of a hotel that's about to go under teams up with the down on his luck reporter to turn the monster into an advertising gimmick, which works, but with predictable consequence.... Lot's of that cheesy '80s midi-synth muzak, and a situation towards the end involving a helicopter that made me laugh out loud....

Tonight's Stinker: Swamp of the Lost Monsters

Tonight's Stinker Swamp of the Lost Monsters https://youtu.be/dmFZbu8OxNI?si=uzzpHN18wXk6ZuhS Had a hard time finding out more about this movie, (other than an assumption on my part that this was cobbled from some TV series) but the opening credits mention K Gordon Murray, a "producer" who imported some of the worst matinees that Mexico had to offer.... Also, this was a gosh awful VHS rip from TV of some guys weekend movie show, who cuts in with corny jokes... So, a Mexican rancher dies, then disappears from his coffin... His brother sends for an American detective, but is murdered along the way... Add on some guy in a cheesy sea monster costume who can't swim very well & wears an air tank... Mostly a corny kid friendly detective story.... One scene, the hero gets in a gun fight, only to end it with nobody getting hurt (So I guess they were just shooting to scare each other)...

Tonight's Stinker: Teenagers Battle the Thing (1958)

Tonight's Stinker Teenagers Battle the Thing (1958) https://youtu.be/iCrn9x54Q2g?si=5zSacnWvOLgVjQvj (Or at https://youtu.be/33CeRPUyh38?si=11D84_HV12k2GHld ) A high school teacher takes some of his students on an archeological dig.... One of them finds a rock that turns out to be a tool.... They climb a mountain & find a tablet glued to the ground real tight... They pull it out & find a hole with smoke coming out of it.... Naturally, they go inside, where they find a clay mummy & take it home... Later that night, an unconvincing ape man with a face like a drunk werewolf busts out... At only 0:59 minutes, It's really slow & plodding even at the last ten minutes, with an ending so abrupt, it feels anticlimactic!

Tonight's Stinker Beyond the Moon (1954) https://youtu.be/3y8TV2XHbPc?si=s2ASbq5BWRvIOCt1 Edited from the Rocky Jones, Space Ranger television series.... Rocky & his copilot Winky find out a professor friend of theirs has defected to an enemy race, but they smell a rat, they go to outer space to the enemy planet to see what's really up.... Meanwhile, there's a spy at Space Ranger Headquarters, and the aliens have used some kind of hypno-ray on the professor & his son... There's also the addition of a female navigator & translator, who gets her share of the predictable misogynistic quips from Rocky.... Some of the sound effects are kinda grating, but they don't last long....

Sweeney decides to crash the politician's commencement party just to spite his ex & her husband... Afterwards, the politician & the ex go to a secluded cabin, where Sweeney traps them & hatches a phony kidnapping scheme... It's one I've been meaning to get out of my system for a while, and it doesn't disappoint, being very fast paced, with more happening in five minutes than I have time to explain...

The next day, they think they've found the treasure, & go fetch more explosives... A scientist who stays behind to study the mummy is killed by the dinosaur, which is now invisible (really)... The rest of the movie, the cast stays holed up in a villa next to the cave.... http://www.badmovies.org/movies/soundhorror/

Tonight's Stinker: Invasion U.S.A (1952)

Tonight's Stinker Invasion U.S.A (1952) https://youtu.be/yPYY_J8oDLs?si=648Ama11IIHDxaM3 A haughty group of movers & shakers are watching TV at a bar in New York, when a reporter shows up asking if they're for or against the government commandeering industry & labor to help build up the military.... Most of them are against it, as it sounds like communism... Another man in the cattle business laments the regulations on the price of feed, beef & high taxes.... The we come to a man with a foreign accent who gives a little speech about how people always want somebody else to do stuff... Later that night, Russia invades Alaska, & the bar patrons hurry back to their hometowns to help with the war effort.... What follows is a lot of stock WW2 newsreels, with a recurring theme that the military doesn't have enough weapons.... Pretty exciting, even though it becomes pretty obvious halfway through, that it will have a surprise ending & what that surprise will be.....

Tonight's Stinker: The Throne of Fire (1983)

Tonight's Stinker The Throne of Fire (1983) https://youtu.be/312YnpBcUZs?si=ltgLm6ClXmNbSz_p One of those Italian sword & sorcery flicks... A witch spawns the son of the Devil's messenger... The same night, a wizard predicts that his infant son will fight him some day... Twenty years later, the witch commands her son to kill a king & marry his daughter, but warns him of a curse on his throne.... He dispatches a group of warriors with no pants to raid some villages... Meanwhile, the wizard's son is now a bodybuilder who sets out to save the princess... Lots of that corny midi-synth music you'd expect from an Italian film, accompanied by the most annoying use of a kettle drum I've ever experienced, albeit, halfway through the open credits, the music changed in a way that gave me a good chuckle....

Tonight's Stinker: GIANT FROM THE UNKNOWN (1958)

Tonight's Stinker GIANT FROM THE UNKNOWN (1958) https://youtu.be/6rCs2VKOb08?si=vxiT32RE99QWqJaq The film opens with townspeople chattering about a murder that follows recent cattle mutilations... After the local sheriff breaks up the crowd, paleontologist comes into town after three days in the hills.... The paleontologist had a disagreement with the victim a week earlier, so the bullheaded sheriff thinks he's the prime suspect.... Then an archeologist & his daughter pull into town... The paleontologist invites them to dinner, where the archeologist reveals he's looking for the grave a soldier who deserted from a Spanish conquistador.... Pretty talky at the beginning, then get suspenseful, the sorta drags out the last fifteen minutes....

Tonight's Stinker The Day the Sky Exploded (1958) https://youtu.be/E5-ddFsICpQ?si=dTwNf0vQzjq-hd-V So, Americans & Russians assemble in Australia to send a manned rocket into space, but first it's ten minutes of excitable newsmen & procedural jibber jabber..... Then, another ten minutes of jibber jabber, then the lab pops the Champaign, then the pilot loses control of the rocket & safely ejects back to earth... Lots and lots of procedural & scientific jibber jabber throughout the movie, a subplot about the pilots strained relationship with his wife & another about a scientist trying to make the moves on a mathematician.... We eventually learn that the rocket kept going, blew up in an asteroid belt & there's a giant meteor headed towards earth, and it takes about an hour for somebody to realize the most obvious solution.... The movie does start to get pretty intense in the second half.....

A recent failure & a high budget brings the prying eyes of the top brass.... A demonstration reveals that the ray doesn't stay in a containment box, & reeks havoc in the town, the local homeless guy starts killing people, & a stranger shows up.... 50s sci-fi, British style, so it's mostly talk & innuendo, with mostly darkened out action sequence toward the end with the army duking it out with footage of bugs under a microscope....

Tonight's Stinker: Space Probe Taurus (1965)

Tonight's Stinker Space Probe Taurus (1965) https://youtu.be/U_R7LoJCR2E?si=9jR8jSGYbe8V-zoT Plays out like a garbage pile of other sci-fi b-movies.... It begins with a failed mission to see if another planet can support life... A year later, a newer ship is sent on the same mission... First order of business is for the commander to express his feelings about having a woman on board, then acknowledge passing a space station, then encounter an alien ship & have to kill the alien on board & blow up his ship... That's, like, the first half hour or so... From there it's pontificating & dealing with an annoying copilot, then a meteor shower & a malfunction that sends them off course..... The film has plenty of it's moments, but is more innuendo than action...

Tonight's Stinker: The Flame Barrier (1958)

Tonight's Stinker The Flame Barrier (1958) https://youtu.be/RdCrIlMQOvM?si=uNSo5cZZjXv3ue4l Dreadfully slow & painful to watch.... It begins with a narrative about a satellite believed to have burned up on re-entry, but a scientist thinks it it landed somewhere in Mexico.... Next, the scientists wife shows up & talks a crabby safari guide & his drunk brother into taking her to find him... Setting the pace for the rest of the movie this bickering trio wonders through the jungle occasionally running into local natives talking about angry gods, & something killing the animals, while some of them die from inexplicable burns... Science fiction stuff towards the end that left me scratching my head....

So, NASA brings back a sample of some kind of fungus from outer space & gives it to a scientist who takes it home to his private laboratory.... Unfortunately, he arrives home to find his Ex waiting for him... She's remarried & wants custody of their son... She pesters him for days while he's trying to work with a growing & dangerous fungus... He finally relents, & she leaves, but later that night, the fungus kills him..... The army destroys his lab, & takes a tape recording of his research... While listening to the tape, they discover the Ex was there... It's up to two agents to find out who she is & where she went.... The next day, she sees a newspaper headline saying the scientist is dead, & she's wanted for questioning... Assuming she's wanted for murder, she goes underground.... All science-fictiony in the beginning, then gets kinda plodding in the middle, the gets surprisingly riveting...
