the three stooges in orbit (1962)

"Remind me to wallop you later."
Professor Danforth (Emil Sitka), has invented a vehicle capable of space flight as well as undersea and all-terrain. The lads agree to help him demonstrate it to the military. But Martians are also interested in vehicle...
Not one of their best, but they give it a good go.

the three stooges meet hercules (1962)

"These young Greek things have great curves as well."
Schuyler Davis (Quinn K. Redeker) is working on a time machine, and everyone thinks he's barmy, so his friends, Larry, Curly and Moe decide to take a look at it. The result finds them back in time facing the wrath of Hercules.
Entertaining slapstick comedy, that harks back to the stooges heyday.

space master x-7 (1958)


"Are there any pretty brunettes on the plane?"
A satellite returns to Earth covered with a strange fungus and is accidentally tinged with human blood, transforming it into an ever-growing 'Blood Rust'. It is up army men John Hand (Bill Williams) and Joe Rattigan (Robert Ellis) to find the one woman who might have some answers, but Laura Greeling (Lyn Thomas) believing she is wanted for murder goes into hiding.
Low budget but taut chase movie. Watch out for Moe Howard of the Three Stooges, in a rare character part as a cab driver.

queen of outer space (1958)

"Why don't you girls knock off all this Gestapo stuff and try to be a little friendly."
Capt. Patterson (Eric Fleming) and his crew are on a routine trip to Earth's space station when it is destroyed by a ray from deep in outer space. They are then targeted and to avoid it end up crashing onto Venus. Despite everything they learned at school Venus is very much like earth, only populared by miniskirted beauty queens who are ruled over by Queen Yllana (Laurie Mitchell). She intends to take over Earth, but they are helped by an anti-war faction led by scientist Talleah (Zsa Zsa Gabor) as they try to stop her.
Like much of this production everything, from the costumes to the plot is recycled from other films, in this entertainingly campy sci-fi. You'll gasp as the giant spider attacks, and you'll puzzle over Zsa Zsa Gabor's acting style, which has only one look - haughty, no matter what the situation!

return of the fly (1959)

We return to the Delambre family fifteen years after the death of Andre and questions are still being asked about his experiments and his death. Reluctantly Francois (Vincent Price) helps Andre's son Philippe (Brett Halsey) who is determined to create a matter transporter. But those that ignore history are condemned to repeat them, and thus it is with poor Philippe, as he soon finds out.
Increasing Price's role, compared to the original, makes for an enjoyable sequel. The film has much more going on, with sub-plots involving greed and treachary conspiring against Philippe.
