One of the WORST ALIEN INVASION movies!!! - Devil Girl from Mars (1954)

Do you like V8 tomato drink?

[@armandolarade7861]

V8 for making Caesars, bloody that is...and I like it straight also...

[@Mr_Porter]

Never tried it, but V8 Splash was my go-to throughout my adolescence.

[@TimmehJay]

My wife does. I didn't know this before I married her.

[@12345.......]

Of course! With vodka and hot sauce

[@jesterdk]

Nope! Not at all. One of my siblings does, though. I LOVE tomatoes, but that's the worst way to have em, I think. Hahaha Everyone else I know uses it as part of something alcoholic, but never on it's own.

This movie inspired Octavia Butler to write sci-fi. She saw it at 8 years old and thought "I could write a better story than that."

[@SuperNuclearUnicorn]

What an amazing yet sad life she had. A black girl raised by a widowed mother in the 50s and 60s, no doubt experiencing all sorts of racism both personal and systemic. Became a pioneer for black authors in Sci Fi. Then died tragically young In a fair world she'd still be alive and living her dream

[@SwiftNimblefoot]

Well, considering I never heard of Octavia Butler... She is probably better known in the USA.

[@captainlengthwidth6692]

@@SwiftNimblefoot 'I've not heard of her' is always a far too small a sample base to work from for anything - I was listening to a book program on Radio France Culture the other day which was full of praise for her. I can tell you they think very highly of here there.

[@davidlionheart2438]

Dude, Patricia Lafan....especially in that costume....is entertaining enough for any ten movies. She's the original and still the best Cruella DeVil.

[@edisonlima4647]

There is a lot of potential for a closed circuit story about being trapped on an inn with strangers -including someone who has murdered someone before - while an alien decides what to do with humanity. The premise is intriguing, ngl.

[@Sparkykueken]

Basically 10 Cloverfield Lane

[@robertodell9193]

[@marhawkman303]

yeah, also that bit at 10:00 about the "miscalculation"... we later find out that Nyah's ship is an experimental prototype, and... she actually has no idea how to fix it. The repairs are a mix of the ship repairing itself, and the robot doing stuff. Apparently, she didn't BUILD the ship, she's just flying it. Also... the plane at the beginning exploded because of Nyah's flying skills. Not 100% sure if she actually collided with it on accident, or what, but yeah.... This is a craft that Nyah isn't actually all that familiar with.

[@MrAlanlaing]

Does John Laurie say "We're doomed" at any stage in the film 🤣🤣🤣

[@GKitz211]

A fresh video with Marc? The weekend is enlightened!

[@geraldmartin7703]

Holy smokes, Hazel Court is regal in this one. Three years later she starred in Curse of Frankenstein (1957), and in the '60s became a fixture in classic AIP and Hammer horror movies.

[@markiangooley]

I find the actress who played the Devil Girl… cute. She’s trying for regal and intimidating, with a little success, but mostly she’s just cute.

[@markiangooley]

I think she must have used her discomfort from that stupid costume in her performance.

[@davidlionheart2438]

That's the legendary Patricia Lafan, the original voice of Cruella DeVil.

[@Oppeldeldoc1]

And it has Hazel Court, one of the great horror movie queens.

[@okasathemasterninja5528]

Hazel Court was in Curse of Frankenstein and Masque of the Red Death.

[@dukejupiter9469]

Just witnessed her most famous role as the empress Poppea teamed up with mighty Peter Ustinov in the '51 blockbuster Quo Vadis. Her elegant/arrogant appearance paired with devilish acting was exactly spot on and left a remarkable impression.

[@kirk1701]

This was the film that inspired author Octavia Butler to become an author. In a way that Butler thought "I could do better."

[@CassandrashadowcassMorrison]

Actually, it was one of the best, which is why Patricia Laffan became the it girl" for remotes in the UK

[@hullinstruments]

As much as I love your videos... It would be really cool to hear you talk about films that you like or maybe just random interesting franchises like "tremors" or other weird and interesting things. Not necessarily good or bad films necessarily... Just stuff that interest you for whatever reason. Just an idea.

[@AnonAnon1]

Isn’t Mark already doing as you suggest?

[@hullinstruments]

@@AnonAnon1 very rarely have I seen Mark cover movies that he's enjoyed. I mean..... Unless I misunderstood.... his whole channel is kind of about ripping into funnily bad movies.
