Il terrore viene dal cielo

In this sequel to The Savage Bee's we find that a new breed of killer bee's has been bread at a research lab for the study of bee's. Unfortunately 3 of the queen bee's have been sent out to bee keeper's before it was known they were of the deadly verity it is up to Jeannie Devereux and David Martin (Tovah Feldshuh, Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) to get them back before they are added to the hives and swarm. With the help of Jeannie's pilot boyfriend Nick (Dan Haggerty) two of the queens are found and destroyed but they didn't reach the third in time. The swarm attack a 4th of July celebration trapping Jeannie and a pack of boy scouts in a bus. Its up to Nick and Dave to save the day.

TERROR OUT OF THE SKY is the sequel to THE SAVAGE BEES.

It begins with Jeannie Devereaux having a nightmare about the first film's absurd, football field finale. Somehow, Jeannie has magically transformed from Gretchen Corbett into Tovah Feldshuh!

Meanwhile, at the National Bee Center, killer bees have mixed in with regular honeybees with tragic results.

Enter Dr. David Martin (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.). Martin arrives at the NBC just in time for an unwary hive technician to do the bee-sting bugaloo! The problem is quickly contained. Unfortunately, a shipment of killer bees has already been shipped from the lab! Thankfully, Jeannie's boyfriend, Nick Willis (played by bearded mountain, Dan Haggerty) is a pilot, and can fly David and Jeannie to the problem area.

Too late!

The bees have been entrusted to a hillbilly, who runs them around in his pickup truck! Much time is spent on useless palaver between the main characters, leading up to the little league baseball game finale. Let the swarming doom commence!

Now, as preposterous as the ending was for the first film, this makes that one seem perfectly reasonable! After recruiting some boy scouts, Jeannie makes her last stand aboard a school bus, while an annoying marching band plays their last song! Ever! As glorious as this may sound, it results in one of the most tedious driving sequences ever filmed, followed by activity inside the bus that boggles the mind!

When Martin introduces his solution to the onslaught, credulity is stretched into string cheeeze! All while Grizzly Adams looks on.

WARNING: This movie contains imbecility so rarefied it could cause deep, cranial scarring!...

call me crazy,but i enjoyed this movie.it won't win any awards or anything,but it is is entertaining and well paced.the acting is okay for this type of movie.it feels like a made for TV movie,but that's not necessarily a bad thing.from watching it,i got the impression it is a sequel,since they showed some flashbacks involving one of the main characters.i found out later that it is a sequel to "the Savage Bees".but it works well on its own,although i do plan on seeing the prequel sometime.if your looking for lots of tension and suspense,you won't find too much here,although there are one or two mildly suspenseful moments.i think the appeal of this movie is the likability of the characters.also it moves at a decent pace and isn't at all boring.i give "Terror Out of the Sky" 8/10

The Youtube's platform has been saving the day due there has thousand of rarest pictures which scarcely have prospective to release in retail disc, whereof isn't a case of TERROR OUT OF THE SKY fully restored in HD format, looking forward expecting a possible demand.

This is a sequel of THE SAVAGE BEES, where just a remnant character is back, the Bee expert Jeannie Deveraux (replaced by Tovah Feldshuh), The Prof. David Martin (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) is in charge of National Bee Center at New Orleans, they developed a new strain of savage bees completely harmless type, however something going wrong becoming a menacing on several places, whereof the previously sent by mail in three spots, thus lead by Prof. David Jeannie and his boyfriend Nick Willis (Dan Haggerty) got stop these shipments before it get out of control, they hold two of them, although one at New Mexico spreading all around.

Overall in the same patten of its forerunner, a bit contrived bees sequences as the first one as well, worthwhile points out among the supporting casting as the young Ike Eisenmann, an old acquaintance of us Lonny Chapman and Charles Hallahan and also an upcoming star Philip Baker Hall in small role, not so bad at all.

Thanks for reading.

Resume:

First watch: 1984 / How many: 3 / Source: TV-Youtube / Rating: 5.

I'm not sure if anyone noticed but the plot of Terror Out Of The Sky seems to have been lifted from the 50s science fiction classic Them. The only change is a different insect, bees instead of ants.

Some nasty South American killer bees have escaped and scientists Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. and Tovah Feldshuh and her pilot ex-boyfriend Dan Haggerty are right on the case. In the same way the ants headed for Los Angeles to build a colony, the killer bees have decided to settle in a small New Mexico town where there is an Air Force base nearby, convenient for dealing with these winged six legged intruders.

The cast truly just goes through the motions here. I'm not sure even the kids playing the Boy Scout troop trapped on a school bus really looked all that terrified. They were more scared of their paychecks not clearing.
