They've come from beyond
the stars to steal our women! By sending
bubble-headed goons and a Godzilla-type thing.
There's plenty of missiles,
ray guns, floods and mayhem on show in this Japanese
sci-fi flick. Which is how it should be, of
course. I'm not sure if having the word "Mysterians"
shouted by a different voice-over bloke was entirely
necessary though.
Pointless Trivia! This movie's original
Japanese title is Chikyû Bôeigun (Lit. Earth Defence
Force), the same name given to a series of video games
based on a roughly similar premise. But with added
giant insects. And early rock band Question
Mark and the Mysterians were partially named after
this movie.
Favourite bit: "Mogera",
the mole-faced giant robot that appears to be made out
of corrugated boxes. |
