My brother got to see this film when it was new and in theaters. I, being younger, was not allowed to. I was envious. He described the plot while we were in the car going to school one day. I can no longer remember his description. I'm sure it was a complex story.

At :53, why are those guys wearing Civil War hats? Do the Confederates rise again and take over in the future?. As a kid was fascinated by this movie -- back when vintage sci-fi/horror films were on TV all the time, for free. Today we pay to see crappy new films, which is why the future sucks. Read that Andy Warhol loved this film.

I just saw this on AMC, it actually makes you think oddly enough for such a cheesy flick. XP

[classicrockgal]

I wonder how they would do in a round of Jeopardy against the humans.

[kobakommander]

Why do they all look like Dr. Evil?

[mmarjisr]

too bad no one downloaded this movie in full i would have loved to see it again

[Skulldini]

I just saw this flick recently on AMC.

[flapdoodle64]

This is better than 'V'.

[flapdoodle64]

Maybe this is cheesy, but it is still better than the last 5 or so Will Smith movies.

[beamdot]

You can get this movie on DVD now.  It actually has some interesting dialogue - presages elements of Bladerunner and I-Robot. And i'ts really campy funny!

[garbagelasagna]

@beamdot There are MANY similarities between this and Blade Runner...very interesting.

[Gene041]

Tis was supposed to be Andy Warhol's favorite film

[tropicvibe]

Holy cow! I can't even remember when I last saw this movie. I think it was on Creature Features at the time but never heard of it again afterwards. I dug it

[Harris63]

This was Andy Warhol's favorite movie.

interesting fuzzywzhe!

[sakara18235]

jack peirce's last make-up job? (he did frankenstein). with ed wood actor dudly manlove"? And, i never found, anywhere, that andy warhol commented on this movie; very much an urban myth. in his published diary he did like "the deer hunter" and "saturday night fever."

[scotpens]

Yes, there really was an actor named Dudley Manlove. I wonder if he ever did a picture with Rod LaRocque.

[monster4josh]

An urban myth...fer sure!

[rqbuchanan]

This trailer inspires a lot of questions. Can a woman truly love something so nebbish and plastic? Will humans ever learn to destroy the artificial intelligence that they create before it so much as causes them inconvenience, much less poses a serious threat? Can the man of the future live a fulfilling life without neckwear? Is the voice-over narrator having a nervous breakdown?

[DIOTD2008]

LOL

You've brought up many valid points.  The most important, however, is living life without neckwear. The man of future can live without it but is not advisable.

[monster4josh]

Can a woman truly love something so nebbish and plastic? You bet!

[nhbxxx]

@monster4josh especially if it runs on 2 "D" cell batteries!

[tagirattana]

Yeah, haven't seen it in a long time but the masters treat the robots similiar to the way the whites treated the blacks in the south. They called them "clickers" in the movie, a derogatory term I guess similar to the "N" word used against African-Americans of today. I think this comparision is why the film has a hard time making it to T.V. today.

[scotpens]

Actually "Creation of the Humanoids" does show up occasionally on TV, at least here in Los Angeles, usually on local stations at 2 in the morning. The racial allegory was pretty heavy-handed, with lines like "All you clickers look alike to me!", but it's an interesting, thought-provoking film that transcends its meager budget. Much better than similarly themed recent crap like "I, Robot."

[HappyAcresCemetary]

This was playing in a beautiful HD print on Monsters HD I watched it last night.

[Mality]

This was a pretty advanced SF story that didn't rely on giant bugs or killer aliens. Sure, it was cheap, but full of clever ideas and with one hell of a cool twist at the end!

Andy Warhol's favorite movie!

[fuzzywzhe]

I have this film.

The entire film takes place in 6 sets:

* In an outdoor public area.

* In the Temple

* Dr. Raven's Lab.

* In the Order of Flesh & Blood's hallroom

* Maxine's house

* What I'm guessing is Cragis' home but is probably the same set as Maxine's house.

The most expensive part of making this film was the film itself, because of it's silver content.

[scotpens]

Really? I would have thought the biggest items in the film's budget were silver-colored contact lenses for the actors playing robots, and all those razor blades and shaving cream they used to shave their heads bald!

The whole movie is done like a stage play, on stylized sets that resemble theater scenery. But at least it's an HONEST low-budget picture.
