Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews: THE ANGRY RED PLANET

It's 50's sci-fi movie time with "The Angry Red Planet" (1959), a movie that lives up to at least part of its title!

I lost it at "Godzilla Vs. The Melancholy of his own Soul."

[@Enshohma]

Of all the fake titles I made up, I'm glad that one made you laugh - I really need to make a poster for that one.

[@ConstantineFurman]

Please. Do. You know that meme that says something like "Godzilla has to go so you can't see the depths of his loneliness"? Producer Shogo Tomiyama more or less said that was canon to the character. Seriously.

[@dubuyajay9964]

@@Enshohma I'm still confused over which is real and which isn't.

The producers wanted Mars to look like a living comic book and it back fired. Cine magic was born !!.

I like how matter of fact these people are about life forms on Mars.

[@caveiradacaverna6713]

The Musicman meets Count Dracula and Godzilla Vs. The Melancholy of his Own Soul are absolute gems, too bad not even the martians managed to convice Brandom to review them.

[@caveiradacaverna6713]

And how could I forget about The Milkman kills at Night, the movie with the scariest milkman ever created on fiction.

[@dubuyajay9964]

Isn't Shin Godzilla pretty much him fighting his own Melancholy? See lyrics to "They don't know."

Naura Hayden was my great aunt! So cool to see a family member in film!

[@ClockworkOuroborous]

A friend from my Livejournal days (I'm old) mother was an actress/dancer in the 50s. She appeared in several B-movies as one of the 'space women on another planet'. The one she remembered most was "Fire Maidens from Outer Space." My friend kept telling her mother she should be going to SF and movie cons to tell stories; she could get a free trip and hotel stay : D Her mother had crazy stories but couldn't believe anyone would want to her hear them.

Brandon that’s a UK poster so the X was normal for the time! In the 50s and 60s, it was par for the course for monster movies, no matter how cheesy they may seem now, to get an X in UK. But it meant no one under 16 could go see it. The X was abolished and replaced with 18 certificate in ‘82 precisely because of the stigma porn placed on the X as a symbol. Great review as always though, man!

[@josepholberding2776]

Huh. Neat

[@superplushtiman7ti075]

Precisely, The ratings started as U and A, then H was added, H was renamed to X after one year, then A got split in half to A and AA, so by 1982(pre-rename) the ratings were U, A, AA and X, they were renamed U(U), PG(A), 15(AA), 18(X)

[@NathanTarantlawriter]

I thought that was it. Didn't take much. THanks!

Wait, I thought this was a movie about Mars, why are the Neptune Men bombarding Brandon with Godzilla requests? His fanbase reaches far and wide, don't it? Super cool review as always, plus it furthers the theory that 80 percent of all grinders are metallic blue. The hi-pitched noises in this movie scared me as a kid, along with the ManBearPig's huge scary face after they blind it, and even with color, it's got the spirit of B&W sci fi.. but when it comes to the survivor account format, I think Matango did it better~

[@drakeil]

In high school I found a book with the same name and read it. It was about going to Mars but it was the plant monster that was the intelligent life forms: all martians were different types of plants and that particular one was the enemy and it did try to eat one of the humans as it was from a carnivorous species but the human was rescued at the last minute. Then some disaster struck and they had to leave. They did try to bring one of the friendly plants back with them but it died due to the G forces of the lift off. It seemed to be a children's book as no humans died in it.

when I got this movie a few years ago, I was surprised and happy to see Gerald Mohr in the flesh for the first time.

Brandon, this movie was made in the early '60's, _not_ the '50's.

For example, a B205 console was often shown in the television series Batman as the Bat Computer; also as the computer in Lost in Space.
