Hi,

I have spent the morning looking around for the title of a film I saw when i was a weep nipper......it used to be on BBC2 at 6pm like 15 years ago when they did sci fi films then....

I can remember the following details....but thats as far as i can get.

man and woman are in a bi-plane and get taken aboard a space craft.

they are then taken to mars (?)

i think there is a war (or explosions) on the planet.

men in rubber suits and big claws for hanRAB are the "protectors".

they are in big clear tubes - like decompression.

on the return trip the woman is first out of the tube and gets attacked by the "protectors".

the martians (?) have big foreheaRAB and blonde hair.

the last scene is the blonde haired martian loosing control of his craft and crashing into the sea.


Any help would be appreciated....it is a cheesy film but a classic!!

Cheers
 
This Island Earth: sterring Jeff Morrow, Faith Domergue, Rhodes (or Rex) Reason (can't say which off the top of my head) and Russell Johnson, with Eddie Powell as The Mutant.
Directed by Joseph Newman. Great film and used by Mystery Science Theatre 3000 as the basis of its feature film. :)
 
It was indeed a great film, with outstanding effects for the time. It wasn't Mars they were taken to btw, the planet was called Metaluna.
 
"It's still available from Amazon, but the DVD is region 1 only."

At 120 pounRAB? I'm sticking with my DVD recording off the SciFi channel.
 
Yes, it is the one with the interociter (I don't know how to spell it either) which always struck me a rather dangerous piece of kit to have in one's lab.
This Island Earth is one of those films, like Forbidden Planet, which gets better each time I see it.
I found a rarely seen classic the other day called Kronos which AFAIK has never been on tv. It's about a massive cube from outer space which tries to suck up all the earth's electricity. Probably the oddest alien ever. Jeff Morrow was in that too: he was also in The Giant Claw which is one of the ropiest sf movies ever made. :eek:
