DALEKS' INVASION EARTH 2150 A. D. / Who Were These Demons From Another World?? - 1966

Here's the follow up to DR. WHO AND THE DALEKS from a year earlier, based on a story from the BBC TV serial, DOCTOR WHO. The story goes like this... Dr. Who and his companions arrive on Earth in the year 2150 AD, only to discover that the planet has been invaded and its population enslaved by the dreaded Daleks. Our time travelers assist human resistance groups to foil the Daleks' plan to mine the Earth's core.

It stars Peter (THE CREEPING FLESH) Cushing, Bernard (FAWLTY TOWERS) Cribbins, Ray (THE FLESH AND BLOOD SHOW) Brooks, Andrew (FIVE MILLION YEARS TO EARTH) Keir, Roberta (THE BEAST IN THE CELLAR) Tovey and Jill (DR. SYN, ALIAS THE SCARECROW) Curzon.

Dr. Who and his pals land their phone booth lab in the year 2150, a policeman goes into the booth but when they come out, the city has been devastated. So, like, what in the Hell has happened here?!

After some investigating, the doc and Tom spot something coming out of the water. Dr. Who has seen these little demons before, it's them goddamn Daleks!!

They gas humans to start with, then take them to a special lab to make them obedient slaves!

Here are a couple of shots of the Dalek's underground structures, looks like lotsa fun!

I swear, there's like 20 minutes of comedy relief after a few humans infiltrate the Dalek's defense and pretend to be one of the invaders' slaves... Goofy with comedic music even!.. What the Hell, even!!

Then, the mother ship makes a landing, bringing more problems for the humans! This spaceship appeared in another British movie that we've reviewed, but, I totally can't remember what the title is. That gots to be one of the stupidest spaceship designs ever (I probably wrote the same thing about the other ship in movie I can't remember). Those teeny tiny landing gear in proportion with the thing itself are just.. freakin'.. Horrible! It also looks like a luxury liner, scary color too! (actually, I think that other movie is THEY CAME FROM BEYOND SPACE)

Anywho, more Daleks have arrived and one jackass human turns the doc in for a reward!!

Here's a glimpse of the area the Daleks are mining, with its eerie glow and all.

Dr. Who gets the Daleks to explain what their mission is, and gets lots more info to boot.

The people use an ore bucket and knock over a Dalek just standing there in front of the rails! And then, the Dalek's power generator gets rolled down a shaft to its demise!

The Daleks all load into their spaceship and have the place rigged to explode!

Everything's going bonkers in the Dalek's underground installation... WHEEEE!!

The mountain blows the Hell up, and suddenly, the ship loses power and crashes into the countryside, destroying every single Dalek on board!!

Well, everything turns out great, Tom is sent back to his time sans the Dalek invasion!.. Tune in Wednesday when Eegah!! lets loose with more of his Dungeon spin!

NABONGA - "Weird Loves" (1944)

I think it's about time for another Gorilla Suit Saturday Night Special in The Dungeon, so tonight I've got one of the true classic gorilla suit movies, from 1944, it's Tabonga's third cousin on the primate side......

......"NABONGA" also known as "GORILLA."

An  African Airways plane full of stolen Jewelry has gone down in the jungle! The only passengers are a man and his young daughter.

After the plane crashes, the devious man shoots the pilot, and the girl is whisked off into the deep dark depths of the jungle by a large gorilla!

 The next thing you know it must be about eight years later, and all the local people know about the white witch of the jungle who has powers over some of the animals, especially one gorilla in particular!

A few days ago he was drinking martinis with Ray Danton, and now he's back in the jungle where he belongs! Barton MacLane is Carl Hurst, but he reminds me a lot of George Bush!

Buster (Flash Gordon) Crabbe as Ray Gorman needs to find that treasure, and Prince (South of Suez) Modupe as Tobo is more than happy to help him, since Ray just stopped another man from stabbing him.

Fifi D'Orsay as Marie was actually Canadian but you'd never guess it from the her accent or this outfit!

She's Carl's little henchwoman!

Tobo draws this very detailed map that shows how to get to the downed plane wreckage!

Ray Gorman has no idea what he's getting himself into!

Julie London was only 18 when this film was made!

If you spent as much time in thrift stores as I have looking at records, you would have seen Julie London's whole catalogue of music at some point. The smokey, sultry, sexy singer was probably only outdone by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass in the 'donated to charity' department!

Buster does a good job of looking genuinely terrified by Ray Corrigan, the man inside the gorilla suit!

Ray Gorman and the white witch have a tentative relationship. He kind of likes her, but he really only wants the jewels, and she kind of likes him, but she's not giving them up because they're hers!

Somebody should have remade this film a few years ago, and used Drew Barrymore as the white witch! Asking who does her hair or where she gets her clothes would almost make as much sense as asking.......

......How Ray and Marie put this gorilla trap together in about 15 minutes!

Carl and Marie end up getting their just rewards!

Dig deep folks! We still needs it!!

More not truth in advertising! Her picture isn't even in this one, and in all the other posters Julie London has the smallest credits, but then Ray Corrigan has no poster credits, and is known only as Nbonga, so I guess it all works out!!

COMMANDO CODY vs. THE MOON MENACE / Feature Version - 1952

This is the 62 minute feature version of RADAR MEN FROM THE MOON now on DVD. The story goes like this... Strategic targets on Earth are being destroyed by an unknown weapon, government security head Henderson suspects that it's an "atomic ray" weapon originating from the Moon! He assigns Commando Cody, scientist and man of action with a secret flying suit, to investigate the matter. Soon, Cody is battling Earth thugs in the pay of Krog the Moon man and making trips in his experimental rocket to the Moon itself, in a perilous effort to thwart the planned invasion of Earth!

It stars George (FORBIDDEN PLANET) Wallace as Commando Cody, Aline (THE INVISIBLE MONSTER) Towne as Joan Gilbert, Roy (ZOMBIES OF THE STRATOSPHERE) Barcroft as Retic, William (LUCKY DEVILS) Bakewell as Ted Richards, Clayton (THE LONE RANGER) Moore as Graber and Peter (INVADERS FROM MARS) Brocco as Krog.

Everything starts when key targets are being destroyed on Earth. Commando Cody and the gang are assigned by the government with the task of finding out who's behind the attack. It's not long before an atomic ray device is found out to be the weapon of destruction, and that, it came from the Moon!

On Earth, Krog is in charge of organizing the attacks, he utilizes criminal earthlings to help carry out the destruction. Krog regularly checks in with the leader of the Moon, Retic.

Cody and his pals take their experimental rocket to the Moon, to get to the bottom of the invasion. They cruise over the buildings on the Moon before landing on the edge of city.

Cody breaks into Retik's room to get some answers, and, what do you think what happens next? I'll give you one guess!.............

After a big fight, our hero grabs an atomic ray weapon and runs to the edge of the city where Ted's waiting for him. Retic sends out a patrol vehicle to track Cody. Cool ass Moonmobile!

The vehicle finds Cody and Ted, so, they duck into a cave. But, the Moon men use a melting ray to try and bury the Earthlings. Luckily, the effort fails, saving the day!

So, Cody and the gang head back to Earth.

Here's a nice shot of our flying hero, Commando Cody, back on Earth now.

He locates the hidden Moon base in a cave in the mountains, Cody walks in on the culprits and another epic fight ensues!

Retic is there, visiting Earth, checking up on the progress. After Cody causes a pile of trouble, Retik takes off in his rocket and heads back to the Moon.

But, Cody grabs the truck holding the atomic ray weapon and simply shoots Retik's rocket out of the sky, ending this tale! Be back tomorrow when Eegah!! is working hard on yet another special post, just for you!!
