excellent cheesey 80s flick!!


Just watched this and I thought it was really cool, if you like cheesey 80s horror movies. Although this was more of a sc-fi than horror.

So yeah good fun except... since when do flares act as dynamite!?!?!? LMAO!

I saw this movie years ago when I was very little, I'm 20 now, and It stuck in my mind so well that I just had to find it and buy it. So glad I finally added this B-movie classic to my collection. I couldn't agree with you more, this is the personification of cheesey 80's horror flicks. :-D

i only got this movie couse it included two characters reprising their roles from a former movie, but if i had known what an incredible small part they had, i wouldn't have gotten it. i don't have an opinion about the movie overall though. i fastforwarded it, maybe i'll check it out someday.


looking from my window to yours,
seeing your little light is on,
can't we sneak out,
while the parents don't look around,
walking down the stairs high,
and party on the playground,
all the kids seem to be asleep,
so we got the garden to ourself you and me,
toys in the sandbox, cartoon cap on my head,
just like yesterday,
this farmer man is i,
and you can be on the mill ground,
as we drive and work around,
it's all turning so sunny now,
maybe we'll find back out later tonight.

It is a great film to watch because I just watched it last night for the first time in over 20 years. The last time I saw this on was back when USA Network would show films like this on practically 7 days a week at various hours of the day, evening, or late at night when a lot of people are in bed asleep.

I remember watching this on a Sunday afternoon after coming home from church back in the late 80's. I finally watched it last night for the first time in over 20 years. I loved it! I am sure you will love my website dedicated to USA UP ALL NIGHT and how USA Network use to be like prior to NBC buying it out and altering the programming to the crap that they put on now.

when flares are combined with paint, propane, or other flamable items *shrugs*

I love cheesy 80's flicks, particularly B-grade horror movies. The title and tagline are enough to make me want to see this.

Well jack324 if you think you would love this film buddy you should check out my website and see how USA Network use to be really like back in the day before NBC bought it and altered the programming forever. I have a Video Page on my website with all the films that were shown on USA Network and USA UP ALL NIGHT. I just figured that I would let you know about this.

It would go up in flames due to the flare I believe.

May 2nd at 2:18 in tghe morning and this movie just came on, I plan to watch it through.

reply

I have this movie since 2 months and the 1st watch was totally awesome and I plan to watch the movie again!!!

If anyone remembers, the guy who gets electrocuted while mopping
by that bot, is the same guy who plays Mr Futterman in Gremlins!!!

Also I liked that part where technician guy gets clawed
in the neck while looking at the naked lady poster---

It was like the robot was busting him for looking
at nudity!!! And busted him he did!!

Did the lasers sounds remind anyone else of the lasers
in heard in Transformers!!

this movie was so horribly bad that it was great. i laughed at almost every thing in this movie.

reply

By the way, that guy who plays the janitor that gets fried is named Dick Miller in real life. He also gets killed in THE TERMINATOR. (He plays the gun store clerk who gets blown away.)

reply

I thought this movie was a hilarious blast and PERFECTLY sums up 1980's horror movies! If I ever decide to host a corny 80's themed slumber party, this will without a doubt be on the movies list! From the bad diologue, to the hair, fashion, special effects, and set design it is a pure 80's camp goody!!! Enjoy!!
