Anyone actually see The Evil Brain from Outer Space?

**Jester** · 08-18-2008, 10:23 PM

Casue I'm watching it right now....got it in a 100 movie pack. It's a Japanese movie dubbed into English and the hero is a hero called Starman.

Could this film actually be the genesis of the Utroms and Krang....I'll report back later.

There's some clips of it on YouTube. Is it worth checking out?

If you like cheesy black and white Japanese dubbed monster films...

Darth Shredder · 08-18-2008, 10:51 PM

Eh. I enjoy those retro Godzilla flicks, but then again those are in color.... hmmm...

In other words, it's MST3K-worthy. I want to see it. Could this be a new review for M-Cubed?

**Jester** · 08-19-2008, 12:10 AM

Maybe...in the future. Krang would be referenced there....

*Raph's Girl* · 08-19-2008, 12:35 AM

Nah.. Krang was probably inspired by "The Brain From Planet Arous" from 1957. Which is about a terrorist alien brain named Gor from well Planet Arous who tries to take over Earth.

Just look at a pic of Gor...he just screams Krang.

Oh and then we got "The Fiend Without a Face" which is about mutant brains....

This is what Baxter would look like if he had 2 eye stalks.....

The first one was black and white though.

Not yet, but I'm a big fan of that kind of movie and I think I might have almost bought that same 100 pack you're talking about. I remember that was one of the ones on it. As I recall, I decided against it because my girlfriend hates those movies as much as I love them and I knew I'd never get around to watching most of them, at least not with her.

I did get her to watch The Day The Earth Stood Still a while ago, but if she didn't like that then there's no hope for her, I mean, that ones actually good!

**Jester** · 08-19-2008, 08:28 PM

Indeed, I love the old bad movies almost as much as the good. They are just so fun tio watch....and MST3K...

As a B movie enthusiast, I find myself intrigued by this movie as well as The Brain from Planet Arous. Funny how brains have become a popular theme in low budget sceince fiction and horror movies.
