FUGITIVE ALIEN / Sandy Frank Enterprises - 1987

It's Freakin' Fugitive Friday with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. What we gots is here is actually a collection of episodes from a Japanese sci-fi TV show strung together to create this special effects extravaganza that was eventually ripped to shreds by the clever MST crew! Shown above is the VHS cover art, no poster is available.

Eegah!! sent over a sound clip from this whacked out flick for our earjoyment, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located next to the x-ray laser sword, NOW, Rufus The Gnat!.. Here's a taste of... FUGITIVE ALIEN!

The alien invaders make it to Earth and do a fly over just before they lands and start a super science battle with the unprepared earthlings!

Here's the super villain leader, he likes his men to wear blond wigs even though he would obviously never consider dawning one of the silly things himself!

Love this shot of one of the aliens breaking the glass at this five & dime store.

One of the aliens jabs his x-ray laser sword right through this poor disco dude!

The aliens have some top shelf psychedelic drugs to groove out on between battles.

When you die in space, no one can smell you void your bowels... Just kidding, this clumsy spaceman is rescued and brought back to life on the ship, so, ha-ha!

EARTH FIGHTS BACK!!!..

The Earth ship lands on a distant planet to try and find help in defeating the invaders...

They hook up with this fancy Dan, and, the only guy in the universe that can give them a hand with their special request.

A lot of the story is about the bad guys hunting down the fugitive alien that escaped and joined the Earth Team. Tune in tomorrow when the Virus Man has a special post just for you!..

ARRRIVA DORELLIK - Margaret Lee - "Crash-Sci-Sci-Patapum" (1967)

Well, the Wednesdays just keep getting weirder down here in the Dungeon, and this week's installment and the end of this fine month is no exception! It's called "Arrriva Dorellik" and was also released in English as "How To Kill 400 Duponts!" There's some things I don't get, like supposedly "Arrriva Dorellik" is a spoof of  "Danger:Diabolik," but "Arrriva Dorellik" was released first in October of 1967, and "Danger: Diabolik" was released in January of '68! How's that work?

Comedy is a funny thing!, or sometimes it's not! If you try too hard, it doesn't work, and there's always that fine line between funny and stupid! In my humble opionion, "Arrriva Dorellik" crosses that line, but then again, everything's subjective, you might find this movie hilarious as Hell!!

Terry Thomas as Inspector Green of Scotland Yard is a guy who without a doubt is an acquired taste, and Terry's humour, just like some recreational drugs, can make for quite the uncomfortable experience if you get too much! "Arrriva Dorellik" amounts to what might be considered an overdose at times!

Goofy, bratty Dorellik is played by Johnny Dorelli. Johnny obviously had something going on for him, he was married to the beautful actress Catherine Spaak for seven years! Just in case you didn't notice, if you combine Johnny's last name Dorelli with Diabolik, you get Dorellik! What a coincidence!

Just like Matt Helm, Dorellik is a real ladies man, and all the chicks dig him the most!

Just like Diabolik, Dorellik is a master of disguise! Here he poses as a switchboarder, and a street artiste! Personally I just think he likes to dress up in women's clothes and wear wigs!

The painting he was working on really pisses off this police officer when he sees it!!

The entrance to Dorellik's secret underground pad is pretty cool!

Agata Flori is Dorellik's secretary Charlotte! Ironically, she was in another spy farce we've got coming up soon,"Operation Kid Brother!"

The basic premise of this movie, and the reason it also sports the name "How To Kill 400 Duponts," is that Dorellik has been offered a job! For a fat paycheck, he has to kill off hundreds of heirs to the Dupont family fortune, not just one or two, but hundreds!

The more than Magnificent Margaret Lee is Dorellik's on again, off again girlfriend singer Baby Eva, and for me the movie finally became interesting when Baby Eva and the GM break into a rousing rendition of "Crash-Sci-Sci-Patapum" written by none other than Castellano-Pipolo-Nohra & Pisano! One syllable in the title for each one of the writers on the song! Crazy is right! Here's just a couple of other things I have to say about Margaret Lee: "Super Dragon Secret Agent," "Bang Bang You're Dead,", "Psycho-Circus," "Kiss The Girls And Make Them Die," "Dick Smart 2007," "Spy Pit," "OSS 117-Double Agent, and "Venus In Furs!" She's a keeper!

In an effort to make Eva jealous, Dorellik waltzes in with four ladies on his arms! He later admits he paid them!

Try as I may, I couldn't dredge up any information on The GM, but I can at least give you this good shot of the band! These guys rock!!

I was doing all right, but then it got to the part where Dorellik was disguised as an African man with a stuffed Tiger on his back that was supposed to be sedated, but alive, and that was about as much as I could take!

For no apparent reason, out of everything that is supposed to be funny in this movie, this shot cracked me up! They look like a bouquet of flowers!

I will admit that this poster or whatever the Hell it is, is funny!!

For a much better satire on "Danger: Diabolik, I suggest you check out "RATOLIK" instead!

THE MIGHTY BOOSH: 'Bollo' - BBC 2003

It's my last post in July, so, time to blow the lid off this joint!.. I love this whacked out British TV series and have all three seasons on DVD in my collection, cut is from episode 3, season 1.

Eegah!! sent over this kick ass, rockin' sound clip to freakin' amaze us, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button there by the musty old gorilla suit, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula! Here's our audio offering for... THE MIGHTY BOOSH... HIT IT!!

Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding play odd couple zoo attendants, Howard Moon and Vince Noir, they have a ton of wild, surreal adventures! Check them out if you haven't, besides the amazing sets and insane stories, the music is always very cool!

Bollo, the zoo's gorilla, is very ill and could die, Vince attends him in his time of need.

Howard's job is to fill in for Bollo. Here, the zoo manager, Bob Fossil, has a talk with Howard about his unconvincing depiction of a gorilla, the paying customers are complaining! He then tells him to put his mask back on, he's scaring the kids.

Death shows up to take Bollo back to Hell with him, but, ends up taking Howard instead for obvious reasons!

Howard has a friendly chat with Death as they cruise in space toward their destination. Howard actually takes a liking to the Grim Reaper as he gets to know him better!

Back on Earth, Bob, Vince, Bollo and others prepare to bury an empty coffin in the name of long lost Howard!

Vince seeks the aid of their guru, Naboo, who sits around all day smoking hash with his pals.

Naboo gives Vince a potion and sends him through a dimensional mirror portal to Hell...

Vince finds Howard tied up in the basement and ready to be dropped into the hot burning pit!

Vince talks The Ape Of Death into a new hair style and the results couldn't be better!

HIT IT!!..

This unholy mandrill lays down some deadly riffs as you can hear in the sound clip. As a guitarist myself, all I can say is that this tune gives me a big rockin' boner!!

There's lots of dancing and new hair styles, Hell is a fun place now, thanks to the boys!

The Ape Of Death is one happy camper, as you can see for yourself!

And, here's the magical substance that got Howard and Vince out of Hell, what else?!.. Naboo's Miracle Wax!!.. Tune in Wednesday when we'll have more crazy stuff to show and tell.
