LOL the thing. Dr Doom looks pretty good, and was the mole man in this

[MaskedMan66]

@rogernator5000 He was going to be, but they didn't have the wherewithal to build Subterrania, so they put the character below the streets of New York and rechristened him The Jeweler.

[MorganaKoDT]

What is really funny is, THe THing is SHORTER than Ben Grimm !!

[MaskedMan66]

@MorganaKoDT Only if you look at a photo of them side-by-side: in the Thing suit, Carl Ciarfalio was still 6'4".

And at least the Thing was still taller than the Torch, unlike in the feature films!

[Snurremegrundt]

I actually things The Thing in this movie looks better than The Thing in the newest Fantastic Four films.

[rfridaythe13th]

@Snurremegrundt i agree to that. that this thing looks better. i think dr doom does also

[MaskedMan66]

@rfridaythe13th Not only does this Doom-- Joseph Culp-- look better, but he is much more impressive in the part, really hamming it up in a decidedly Doom-like style. Far better than Julian McMahon's whiny portrayal.

[rfridaythe13th]

@MaskedMan66 right? that Julian McMahon's voice sucked. i hated how when he gets the board in the 2nd movie. he becomes really powerful, and that costume looks pretty cool. but then he talks and it ruins it :(

[MaskedMan66]

@rfridaythe13th Exactly; he sounds like Robert Englund as Willie on "V."

[blackhawknj]

I met the actor who played Ben Grimm, he said they started filming on December 31 to avoid losing the rights.

[MaskedMan66]

@blackhawknj I saw him on a T.V. show a few months back, playing a thug; he sort of looks like the big-screen Ben now, having saved his head!

[sansfasonico]

I saw a video where the explain the reason for this movie,the studio had to complete a movie before the end of the year so it wouldn't lose the rights to use the characters,so they made this on a really small budget so they wouldn't loose those rights,it was never meant to be released

[PutItAway101]

Yup they got it into production five days before the rights would revert to Marvel. Who you gonna call when you want an unreleasable rubbish pic made for zero money...ring ring hello Roger Corman lol

[Germany1111]

Actually, this budget was about 50% higher than he was used to- no joke. The German production house, Constantin, tried to raise a $40 million budget but couldn't, so they got $1.4 mil together with Corman in time to not lose the rights - he was used to $500k or at most $1 million. Corman made low-budget movies, very quickly, and he usually made a good profit, because folks generally knew what they were getting when they saw his name on a film.

[imperialpod]

'he was used to $500k or at most $1 million'

WRONG....The music in this vid will give you all a clue as to how much Corman had spent on a movie prior to making this one and, it was a lot more than 500k.

[MaskedMan66]

@imperialpod Actually, the film as printed had its own score, created by two brothers who were never paid for their efforts.

[imperialpod]

@MaskedMan66

Right, my point was that Corman had worked on movies costing in excess of $500,000, which he had, BBTS being that film, which is where this music is from.

[MaskedMan66]

@imperialpod Gotcha.

[ghostbuster56]

kookevin3 has the whole movie on here

[RichYan33]

Mole Man is a mac daddy!!

[MaskedMan66]

@RichYan33 The Jeweler, actually.

[ghostbuster56]

LOL i can now see why it was unreleased

[MaskedMan66]

@ghostbuster56 It was never going to be released in the first place, no matter how it turned out.

[torchkit]

If the exact movie had been released in 1964 instead of 1994, it would be forgiveable.

[shenron204]

I like Roger Corman's Little Shop of Horrors but this looks like they just took 4 people and put them in costume's and said"act"

[Orionsaint]

Roger Corman here reuses the soundtrack to his other cheeseball movie from the early

80's. Battle beyond the stars, the first official star wars ripoff, hehe.

[MaskedMan66]

@Orionsaint Actually, BBTS was a sci-fi version of "The Seven Samurai."

[pathfinderLXXIV]

Wow... they did exactly what they set out to do... make the ultimate craptastic movie. Too funny.

[poncieARTwork]

Hey, there's a copy for sale on ebay under user name: supermanxiii

[pathfinderLXXIV]

Are they paying people to take it? I surely wouldn't pay for that turd.

[MaskedMan66]

@pathfinderLXXIV No, what they set out to do was make the best movie they could under the time and budgetary restrictions they were under. And to the open-minded viewer who understands about those restrictions, the result really is quite good.

The script, the acting, the music and the sound editing are first-rate (or at least no worse than in any big-budget superhero flick), with only the effects being below par. But even they show great innovation.

[GreenFire123]
