RAUMPATROUILLE - Peter Thomas - "Hüter Des Gesetzes" (1966)

 

Guten Tag und Willkommen im Dwräyger Kerker!!

For this Saturday Night Special I've got a real treat for you, episode III of that awesome 60's German TV show "Raumpatrouille!" It is not animated, there are no rodents, and it should never be confused with "Ratatouille!" The disc was donated to us by Professor Grewbeard a few years back! Not sure what the Prof is doing these days, but I hope it's some kickass music deep in the heart of Texas somewhere!

This episode of the German "Space Patrol" is titled "Hüter Des Gesetzes" which roughly translates to something like "Guardian Of The Law!"

This brainbat has developed a new robot that he's showing off to the crew of The Orion!

Seems he hasn't quite worked out all the bugs yet, and the robot attacks the audience, like some big time wrassler out of control!

Svengali seems unfazed by the whole incident!

But the crew has other thoughts!

From here on out, it's just good old fashioned German eye candy!

The music for this episode of "Raumpatrouille" was once again composed by Dungeon überhero PeterThomas! In fact, the only thing that would make this show better would be sub-titles and more music from Maestro Thomas! 

Here's a short sample of what I'm talking about!

And HERE'S the place where you can buy song downloads or copies of the soundtrack on CD, or 180G vinyl signed by Peter Thomas! This just might be your lucky day!

I love the fact that all women of the future have the same hair style!

Time to get this adventure really rolling!

"Raumpatrouille" premiered about a week after "Star Trek" first aired on American airwaves!

Here are Klaus Holm, Wolfgang Völz, Eva Pflug, and Dietmar Schönherr, the main members of the crew of the spaceship Orion in a classic shot!

     

They've been dispatched to this planet to find out what's going wrong in the mines.

I dig this tubular walkway!

The mining robots are misbehaving and revolting!

What to do, what to do? Think fast Major!

This shot looks like some kind of robotic hen house to me! I can just see the eggs rolling down that corridor into collection baskets!

What else can they possibly do than zap the little bastards!

Time to get the Hell out of there and safely back home!

As my buddy Lord Litter in Germany would always say, 

"CHEERS!!"

THE GARBAGE PAIL KIDS MOVIE / Atlantic Entertainment Group, Topps Chewing Gum - 1987

It's time to get gross! I actually collected and had a complete set of all the series, sold them on eBay years ago for a good profit. The appeal was they were fun and the artwork was Topps!

I have a gross little sound clip for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our atomic fart machine, NOW, Rufus The Gnat!.. Here's... THE GARBAGE PAIL KIDS MOVIE!

Anthony (X, THE UNKNOWN) Newley plays antique shop owner Captain Manzini. He tries to store the garbage pail full of green slime but it gets tipped over, releasing the power of the little alien kids on Earth. Ready or not, here they come!!

They're gross to be sure, that's Foul Phil on the right doing his thing, you can hear him cut loose in the sound clip... Pee-yew!!

They also have lots of snot and wet themselves whenever things get tense. They were ahead of their time, all these bodily functions are very popular nowadays as delivered in shows like FAMILY GUY, ROBOT CHICKEN, BOB'S BURGERS and many more.

They go to a bar and get in a big fight with some bikers. The bikers are so impressed with the Kids' fighting skills, they all become fast friends! We live in a wacky world, peoples...

I'm not quite sure what to think about this scene. Little Dodger, the Captain's helper, gets a sultry kiss from eighties fashion girl, Tangerine!!

The Kids are also very interested in Earth Girl anatomy, having a lot in common with Tabonga!

There's even a Garbage Pail Kids lunchbox with a gross eyeball for a snack!

Later, the bikers help the little scamps break a bunch of social misfits out of their prison.

At the fashion show, the GPK gang disrupt the festivities. They start by ripping the clothes off all the sexy models, making for a big pile of eye candy!

Dodger ends up knocking the crap out of the bad guy, Juice. That should turn Tangerine on!

Anyway, the Garbage Pail Kids head off to who knows where to spread their gross ways! Join us again tomorrow for more from... The Dungeon!

BURY ME AN ANGEL - East-West Pipeline (1972)

Tonight's feature is a top contender in the category of "Why In The Fuck Would You Even Bother" school of film making! That being said, welcome to The Dungeon! Now just look at this poster, why would any sane person be swayed in their opinions by anybody involved with film making from Ronald Reagan to Angelina Jolie, when posters for the movies over the years are nothing but blatant lies and deceit, and really nothing but false advertising! Sure, I know this is just a low budget movie, but trust me, she didn't take on the whole gang, and a more appropriate rewording of the thrills in this flick would be something like a girl on a motorcycle seeking revenge with a whole lot of boring filler footage in between!

It's called "Bury Me An Angel!" Why? I have no clue, motorcycles I guess.

I normally have nothing but respect for anybody attempting to make a movie, but lately I've been a little more critical when the end product is nothing more than a piece of crap like this! But..................On a more positive note, the bluesy hard rockin' music in the movie by East-West Pipeline is pretty cool! Kinda reminds me of some Blue Cheer! Here's some of the title song to prove it!

So let's get this party rolling!

This is what they called an eye hit in 1972!

Looks pretty Sci-Fi right about here!

The party was rockin' and out of nowhere, some guy just comes to the door and blows this guy's face off!

This fellow is the guy who pulled the trigger!

So the sister of the victim who is named Dag, played by Dixie (ANGELS DIE HARD, NIGHT CALL NURSES) Peabody, and her two buddies Jonsie (Terry Mace) and Bernie (Clyde Ventura) set off on a journey to find the killer! You have no idea whether it has been days, months or years since the murder and/or how far they're traveling, maybe 5, maybe 200 miles!

By the light of the campfire, here's an introspective look at Dixie Peabody as Dag!

"What the cornbread Hell's going on her anyway?"

The trio stakes their venture on the money Dag makes from being a two-bit hustler!

They try and tantalize the whole scene with some useless nudity and vulgar language to no avail!

It looked like there was a legitimately genuine ugly dust storm at one point during the filming so they took advantage of it!

After smoking some pot, Dag has a weird dream about the killer!

What the Hell?  It's good old Dan (Grizzly Adams) Haggerty as the hippie artiste Ken!

Damn, Dan just passed away two months ago in January of this year! I would have loved to talk to him about the making of this movie!

After tracking him down for God only knows how long, Dag finally corners the killer of her brother!

And what does he have to say in his defense besides "your brother stole my bike?"

 "INCEST!" 
Yecch! Sorry pal, that's no way to win a girl's heart!
