In today's HBO TV remake of the great schlock original, young heiress Nancy Archer is driving home after finding her husband with another woman at a motel, when, she encounters a UFO that zaps her with some kind of laser ray. After a second encounter, she finds herself growing in size every time she gets angry!
Stars include Daryl (BLADE RUNNER) Hannah, Daniel (VAMPIRES) Baldwin, William (THE MEPHISTO WALTZ) Windom, Frances (PINK CADILLAC) Fisher, Cristi (BATMAN RETURNS) Conaway, Paul (THIS IS SPINAL TAP) Benedict, O'Neal (DEEP IMPACT) Compton and many more...
This sucker was filmed in good old Taft, California, so, here's one for Eegah!! and all I have to say, is,,, The Seven Sisters!! Anyway, here's a nice shot of Nancy in her light blue Cadillac heading back home.
Being a Fifties Sci-Fi Guy, I just want to scream when I see another lame-ass rip off of an overused saucer design!.. JFC, D!! So, Nancy is hit in the chest with a pink ray before the ship disappears into the night...
Back at a motel, Harry's having a romp with Honey! Remember, this was an HBO production, a little nudity was added for a little viewer titillation! All I can say is, nice ass!
My favorite parts were Sheriff Denby and his little helper out looking for a UFO. The kid is basically the brains and it's fun to watch them interact. And, the Sheriff drives a classic 1950 Shoebox Ford, now, that's class!
Nancy talks Harry into helping her search for the saucer. After driving around in the country the damn thing shows itself again. Nancy goes over to the space ship only to be abducted! Man, the perspective is all screwed up here, first of all, if the ship was directly over her, it'd be a lot bigger!!
After Nancy has returned from wherever, she's having a discussion with her dad and Harry where she gets angry and grows to an enormous size, busting her head through the second floor! Boy, it's a good thing that her bra didn't snap off!
So, she's a bad girl and has to stay in the barn. Her doctors pay her a visit. Again, the perspective is off, the doctor's pointing like five feet above Nancy's head.
They had to do it, Nancy shows up at a drive-in where they're showing the original movie!
Great shot as Nancy heads into town, love those shadows!
She finds Harry and Honey at Honey's Nail Salon and pounds her fist through the roof. Harry's scared as Hell and tries to hide from his giant pissed off wife!
He gets to his Porsche but can't get it started before Nancy scoops up the car with Harry screaming bloody murder inside!! She wants to have a 'little' talk with him.
At the end, the military brings in helicopter gun ships. They fire at her like a thousand times and never fucking hit her once!!!!!.. Anyway, she gets crucified on the power lines, the ship then arrives and takes her away!
So, let's say goodbye...
Goodbye!
This movie is all about woman empowerment. Inside the spaceship, women control everything, and men like Harry are there to work on their social skills!!
Join us again on Wednesday when we'll try and come up with something cool for you, here, at The Dungeon!!

So it's not the original '50s classic, but any flick set in the desert, with a flying saucer, a 1950 Ford, a Drive-In, and a babe-a-licious blonde is okey-dokey in my book!!!
Even though these jokes are pretty common in SF comedies, I liked the businesses with names like "Corman" and "Ackerman."
i could be wrong but it looks like the guys in that last photo are in Captin Kirk uniforms.
