    Mars is running out of air...

    Voracious flesh eaters from Mars invade the Earth! A very funny bad movie made for the cost of coffee and donuts on any of today's blockbuster epics. The film's star Tony Curtis puts this picture right up there with "Some Like It Hot" and "Spartacus" - he says so right there on the DVD edition this movie.

    If you are a fan of trashy science fiction, you will most certainly enjoy this humorous spoof of such classics as "Invaders from Mars", "Night of the Ghouls" and "Teenagers from Outer Space".

    It can all be summed up in this typical line of dialogue spoken by Professor Plocostomos (Patrick Macnee)... "If you were a Lobster Man, would you enter a haunted house surrounded by artillery?"

    Well, would you?

    brilliantly bad

    i just bought this movie for 2bucks thinking that it will surely be worth it's cost... and i was so right!! i saw it with a friend of mine and we just loved it's (mostly intended) badness. There are movies that are just bad and then there are these flicks that are so freaking' bad that they are really entertaining. the movie made me really laugh hard a couple of times and Tony Curtis just rocked being this bad producer. the day after i watched it i immediately wanted to watch it again.. and if that's not positive about a film.. for a movie as "b" as one movie could be, the cast isn't that bad: Tony Curtis and Patrick McNee are two stars of the 80ies, starring here and they do a good job (being bad). the story is really strange: i mean a lobster man and his adjutant, an ape with a spacehelmet, stealing earth's air for the mars is not a common thing in Hollywood. the characters are all very funny and the story is except for some lengths in the middle very amusing.. i'll give it an 9 out of 10

    Amiable sci-fi take on The Producers

    Stanley Sheff's goofy sci-fi take on Mel Brooks' The Producers is smart enough to not take itself too seriously, nor too self-consciously play up how "bad" it is. As opposed to such contrived "cult" films like the crass Sharknado series or the ineffective likes of NAKED MONSTER, GIANT PAPIER MACHE BOULDER, this one just hums along gleefully to its own beat.

    The title is attributed to Orson Welles who originally was slated to play JP Sheldrake, a film mogul who buys the cheezy movie, 'Lobster Man From Mars', as a tax shelter scheme. Tony Curtis enjoyably chews the scenery as Sheldrake. Anthony Hickox and Deborah Foreman (VALLEY GIRL) play the couple who made the film within a film. Patrick Macnee and Billy Barty play actors in the crustacean epic and Bobby Pickett is the King of Mars. It's all done with tongue firmly in cheek, but, humbly and amiably so. The cast, SFX, Music, Costumes and Cinematography follow suit.

    P. S. I knew a good number of people who worked on the film including lead actress Debbie Foreman and had worked with Tony Curtis. I even got to visit the set. Gives it a bit of extra nostalgia to me.

    so silly, so very silly

    i saw this film some years ago now, and i can still remember it. at the time, and on subsequent viewings, it made me laugh myself quite silly, not quite as silly as this film however. it is somewhat like a cheaper, tackier, Z grade, sci-fi version of gremlins two, just taking the piss out of as many things as it can. somtimes it misses, but mostly it hits. a bizarre indie classic. go find it now, you won't regret it.

    So bad it was hilarious...

    Well, I wasn't really expecting to be wowed by this movie, but it turned out to be the funniest movie I've seen in a long time. I rented it mainly because of the title. After all, who doesn't want to see a movie named "Lobster Man from Mars"? I settled down with some friends and chocolate, and had the most laugh out loud night.

    This movie is filled with ridiculous moments, akin to the old fifties Scifi movies, complete with a badly costumed lobster who's face keeps changing between scenes. The acting isn't that good, but then again, it really isn't meant to be. This is the perfect movie to watch when you want to have a good time, and if you're full of too much energy.
