The bit with the Teenagers destroying the aliens with car headlights sounds like "Invasion of The Saucermen" (aka "invasion of the hell creatures")...but the aliens in that have 2 eyes....

When I was a kid, I spent many of my Saturday afternoons watching monster/horror/science fiction B movies hosted on local shows with names like "Thing Theater" or "Science Fiction Theater," back in the days of independent channels (At that time we had Channel 53 here in Pittsburgh, before it became a Fox affiliate).  

There's one movie in particular that I remember watching, but for the life of me I can't remember the title.  It appears to have been made in the 50s or even early 60s, and it was in color.  It was about a flying saucer that landed in a wooded area, and the aliens from that saucer were roaming around in the woods, randomly attacking and killing people.  The aliens looked like mummies, and they had one big black eye where their faces should be (Keep in mind that my memory may be playing tricks on me).  The Army was called in to investigate, and I can remember the commanding officer sitting in his jeep observing the saucer as his men surrounded it.  The aliens were killed when someone realized that bright light made them disappear in a puff of smoke, and a bunch of teen-agers drove their cars to through the woods and turned their headlights on the aliens.

Anyway, I mentioned all of this because I'm hoping this will jog someone's memory, and that someone will tell me the title of this movie.  

I find this site confusing, however I just gotzta bleat about a comic book by the name of 'The Bulletproof Coffin', now on it's second run 'The Bulletproof Coffin Disinterred'. It's a gloriously sweaty punk n roll visual riot drawn by Shaky Kane and written by David Vine, out through Image Comics. A Gorgeously paranoid story whose drawings set it aside from the usual Super Hero fodder it references. Jack Kirby with magic markers? Get it in your eyes. 

Those who hate japs are just posers. 30 or 40 years ago, japs hadn't history, charming, or whatever they said, but nowadays, japanese factories have made some of the prettiest bikes in history. And generations of people have born, rode and died with japanese bike. Isn't that enough?

Anyway, cool pics, man. You look like the gang of Mad Max...

i see no shame in riding japanese,there are those that ride harleys triumph etc etc who think it somehow appropiate to diss the jap mo'bike fraternity.....fall back haters,we comin for ya.

xs 1100 thats what im brunging.....vintage rice.

My '82 Yamaha SECA 550XJ.  Bought it 4 years ago, added a fairing, end mirrors and drag bars.  Behind it a duplicate "parts bike" that the previous owner dumped hard. My next project will be stripping that parts bike down so I have room to park my new Triumph.  I'm saving change from the bar, paying off plastic, saving aluminum cans, etc. so I have it by next year. 

Sadly.....very sadly......we lost one of the last visionary authors...RIP to Ray Bradbury:(:(....how can we not remember masterpieces like: The illustrated Man (my absolute fave by Ray:)), I sing the body electric, Something wicked this way comes, The Halloween Tree, etc.?!!!!!

1980's FLASH GORDON is on the Free Movies section of ON DEMAND through XFINITY at the moment so I should probably watch it again.

Buck Rogers also proceeded the Flash Gordon comic strip by about 5 years but got surpassed in popularity due to the Flash Gordon serials.  A Buck Rogers serial with Buster Crabbe didn't really do anything for the character but is still a fun watch.

 THAT'S TRUE , BUT , I THINK WHAT THANE MEANT WAS , THE FLASH GORDON MOVIE ('80) WAS PROBABLY MORE INFLUENCED BY THE BUCK ROGERS MOVIE AND TV SHOW OF , WHAT? A YEAR OR TWO EARLIER? IT'S TRUE , BUCK ROGERS WAS BOTH , WITH THE SAME MATERIAL ! HOLY BATTLESTAR GALACTICA , BATMAN !  I SAW "FLASH GORDON" ABOUT A YEAR AGO. TO ME , IT'S SO BAD , IT'S GREAT.   LUCAS DREW INSPIRATION FROM THE FLASH GORDON AND/OR BUCK ROGERS SERIALS WITH BUSTER CRABBE.....BUT , OF COURSE , THE INNOCENCE IS LACKING.    

I  have'nt seen "Star Wars" since the early 80's* , the lustre wore off for me , but I still enjoy the 30's and 40's serials - Batman , Purple Monster Strikes , Captain America , Captain Marvel , Superman , Spy Smasher , etc.

* I did see the TURKISH "Star Wars " , recently.

Flash Gordon had been around for ages and the original serials are what partly inspired Lucas to come up with Star Wars.

You've got me looking up Milligan now:):):):)

Guardian article about the above title

Why the notorious Drive director paid £16,000 on eBay to buy up Milligan's films and bring them back to life

I think it's quite an interesting article especially considering it's from the Guardian.

"Mighty Peking Man" - oh dear. Now I'm going to need to track down "A*P*E*", aren't I?

Yes , you are. Its putrid ! Highly recommended.   * * * *

I first saw it as a double feature , at this really sleazy theatre in Ft. Worth (The New Isis , if any of you  ever had the pleasure. ALL - EXPLOITATION DOUBLE FEATURES , ALL THE TIME.), WITH "Schlock" (aka "Banana Monster" ) , John Landis' first movie , a hilarious parody of the "Revived prehistoric apeman goes on a killing spree"genre. There are moments John Waters might have envied.

I have'nt seen this in a long time , MikeL , BUT , Basil Rathbone , Bert I. Gordon and all manner of bady made up monstermen. Gotta love it. The old hag was played by Maila Nurmi (Vampira) . Yes , they wasted a rubber mask on that exquisite visage.....Oh , well.

If you have the chance to see The Turkish Star Wars (And I urge you to.) , since Turkey has no copyright laws ,they used (Badly saturated) footage from "Star Wars" , and , yep , "The Magic Sword", but it's so brief , it'd be easy to miss.

...and some Caroline Munro.  I remember seeing this when it came out . Then , they re-released "Sinbad's 7TH Voyage" about a year later. Good times. It made me sad to think , not that Harryhausen is still alive , but , that he had to live to see the advent of CGI.  HE CLAIMS HE LIKES IT , THOUGH.....

LOL, I like his work too:)  The skeleton army from "Jason and the Argonauts" is one of his crowning achievements.

I love Ray Harryhausen. If he never existed he'd have to create himself.

Yeah I love this one. I remember another film called Space Raiders which used the score, spaceships, footage and god knows what else from Battle. Roger Corman obviously likes to cut corners.

I think it's more out of curiosity than excitement that I'm anticipating the new Spider-Man movie.  I understand it's an update and the characters are going to be much different and look different (Peter Parker with Ross Geller (character from FRIENDS) hair really bugs me) but it doesn't seem like MY comic book anymore.  I guess that's what I liked about the AVENGERS movie is that it still felt like the 60's/70's comic in a way but still being apart of the 21st century.

I'm really looking forward to the new Batman movie, to be honest.

I admit, I can't keep track of which elements came from which "Spiderman" comic series, ha! As far as the "Ultimate Spiderman" goes, I think a vast majority of it is the blueprint of this newer franchise. Did you happen to see an in-depth trailer on "The Amazing Spiderman"? One, I want to know who the shadowy guy is that says to Dr. Connors "Did you tell the boy about his father"? Was that Dr. Octavius? I'm almost sure I saw a quick glimpse of several arms crashing down on a floor...And if Oscorp is the backdrop for a lot of the plot, where is Norman? I was thinking in the comics he had sort of gone "missing", and had in fact went mad after injecting himself with performance enhancers.

Hmm, I've read that the movie from 2002 had a bit of the retooled comic.  Like the Spider being geneticly altered as opposed to being radioactive.  And the scene from where the thief gets away after robbing the promoters of the wrestling match, also comes from Ultimate Spider-Man as well.

The more I've seen on this Spiderman re-boot, the more I'm starting to like it. I think this saga will be darker and more in-depth, and from what I've read about it, it's based on Marvel's re-tooling of the character with an all new comic book series that came out back in 2001 or so. I still think it was just too early to bring this all about, but since Sony/Columbia still had the film rights, they were going ahead with another Spiderman film while they still could. Apparently Marvel is impressed with what they've seen, and already a sequel and a Venom film is being planned.

Maybe because you really can't show 3-D on TV, but the promos for THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN are far from Amazing.
