Trailer: Battle Beyond the Sun (Roger Corman)

Delightfully trippy, campy trailer for one of the strangest classic-era SF movies you'll ever see, Battle Beyond the Sun by Roger Corman and Francis Ford Copolla.

the entire film used dubbed footage from a Soviet SF film, Nebo Zovyot. Except for the scenes of the monsters, shown more clearly in this trailer than in the film itself.

You have to check out the monsters. One can only surmise their resemblance to human male and female genetailia was deliberate camp.

When are civilization is dust, post-human archeologists will spend lifetimes trying to figure this shit out.

That such things existed are the ultimate homage to the American drive-in phenomenon and everything it once meant to the American culture, lifestyle, psychology and economy.

@internationalgiant1 I am glad I am not the only person to reach the exact same conclusion!

@slig665 Yes indeed! Vertical orifice, with lips and teeth, no less! The other one looks like a cabbage with eyeballs on stalks. Ridiculous and funny.

I wish this one would be remastered in widescreen and restored. The one monster looks like a giant killer vagina.

just saw the original soviet film Heaven's Call at the BFI- this is fantastically different! No monsters at all in the Soviet version for instance...unless you count those dastardly capitalists.

How far we've come in ceature design.

[slig665]

Those monsters are hideously obscene

Great colour - or is that color?
