1) DVD DVD Missile to the Moon by Image Entertainment. Video Quality was very good.. Of course the premis of two stowaways hitching a ride on a half baked rocket to a moon populated by a green faced Queen waiting for her long lost lover is at best a comedy. But for me it was a trip to the past when at eight years old I saw a bad man being chased by Rock Monsters step into the sun and turn into a skeleton! Scary stuff for an eight year old in 1963. A scene that stood out enough from those tender years to make me want to relive the moment. The coloration is well done and the moments sincere... But don´t bother showing it to your kids. They will never understand why you got it.¤ 2) DVD DVD Missile to the Moon by Image Entertainment. ´Missile To The Moon´ was released in ´59, I was seven at the time. The first time I watched this film was on television, it was one of those "Movies of the Week" where it ran every night, Monday thru Friday at 8 o´clock, Saturday afternoon and twice on Sunday. I didn´t miss a single showing.
Hey what did you expect, what little kid could resist a flight to the Moon, frightening rock monsters, a giant cave spider on strings and some very lovely Moon Maidens in form fitting tops and stretch pants. It was like heaven. I didn´t particularily like the fact that these lovely lunar ladies where able to control humans through mind control, but I guess that was something I would learn to accept when I grew older (THAT´S A JOKE!).
Bad special effects, low budget, silly script, but lots of fun! However after all these years I still hate that stupid spider for eating Pat Mowry, my favorite Moon Maiden.¤ 3) DVD DVD Missile to the Moon by Image Entertainment. Mankind hasn´t always been as intelligent as we are now. As late as a few hundred years ago, we thought the Earth was flat and that the Sun revolved around the Earth. As late as 2008, we even believed the Los Angeles Lakers could go all the way. And, apparently, as late as fifty years ago we believed that the moon was populated by giant rubber rock monsters and ruled over by a sadistic queen.
Of course, some misconceptions are much more entertaining than others, and Missile to the Moon certainly qualifies as the former. Continuing its long tradition of supporting the most "legendary" B-movies, Legend Films has completely re-mastered the classic film for this new DVD release, providing its trademark touch of color in the process, though always including the unaltered black and white version on the same disc. You might think that the audience reaps the most reward from this improvement, but you´d be wrong. The real beneficiary of Legend´s added hues is the film´s camp-value! Only in true color, for instance, does it become blindingly apparent that "the moon" is actually a studio backlot in Southern California.
As with all Legend releases, the colorization quality is far and above any preconceived notion you might have. The technology deployed by Legend has advanced significantly beyond the "Terrible Turner" broadcasting colorizations of the `80s, resulting in a realistic and polished appearance that has to be seen to be believed. And since the bottom line is so often the "bottom line," you can´t get more value than having two versions of a timeless movie on the same disc, for the same price.¤ 4) DVD DVD Missile to the Moon by Image Entertainment. The title says it all: a missile goes to the moon! Only there are people in the missile so it´s not really a missile but should more precisely be referred to as a "rocket"!
Still, it goes to the moon, so the title is 50 percent right, which is more than you can say for, oh, Magnolia, which is not about magnolias at all, but rather is largely comprised of Tom Cruise talking about his junk.
Not only does Missile to the Moon offer a title that is half true, it also delivers a thrilling 50´s era tale filled with chunk-headed scientists, shapely pageant winners, and a spider that´s roughly as menacing as one of the lesser Baldwin brothers.
But the real star of this RiffTrax is comedy legend Fred Willard! Yes, the funniest man in America joins Mike as they take on the classic Missile to the Moon.
¤ 5) DVD DVD Missile to the Moon by Image Entertainment. this is great 1950 it should be in every body collection there is something about it thats so great and the ideas with the rock people and other things in the movie if you got 120IQ or higher its worth having in your collection.¤ 6) DVD DVD Missile to the Moon by Image Entertainment. Lunar She-Devils lure Earthmen into their lair of doom! This is the one, the remake of the century, based on the legendary sci-fi thriller, "Cat-Women of the Moon." On the first expedition to the moon, a race of sexy moon maidens living in a hidden lunar world capture astronauts for their "pleasure." SEE the return of the giant hairy spider puppet as it lusts after female victims! SEE terrifying rock creatures attack! SEE the unbelievable Atomic Rocketship make the fantastic journey through meteor-infested space lanes! SEE the "not-so-special" special effects in this cosmic entertainment catastrophe! This sci-fi B-film classic stars such cult favorites as Gary Clarke (How to Make a Monster), Laurie Mitchell (Queen of Outer Space), and Nina Bara (Tonga of TV´s "Space Patrol"). Bizarre, fascinating, surreal and greatly entertaining, "Missile to the Moon" must be seen to be believed!¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
