Theres a no-prize for guessing the film! More holes than swiss cheese and more gung ho machismo than a lorryload of Brut aftershave. Spawned some of the most unposeable 'action figures' ever made..
hee hee. I had the Supreme Alien boxed for years. Came with a floppy disk I seem to remember. I took it to loads of toy fairs and just couldn't shift it. Ebay did it in the end. I often wondered how it would have faired in a fistycuffs with a Giger Alien?
(laughs) Nice bit of imagery with the Gnomes, Wote. But are these figures really so bad in terms of articulation? I've never seen them, and really they aren't my taste anyway. But it is disappointing if they are as bad as you say.
And I'm with Andy on this. What is it with the slime?
Just realised that the excited scientist in the movie. the guy who says ' We call it the Freakshow' is none other than Data from Star Trek TNG aka Brent Spiner. Now I've always thought that Brent Spiner's voice was the same as that of the Hooded Claw in the cartoon Penelope Pitstop but I was wrong. That was one Paul Lynde, who also played Uncle Arther in the delightful Bewitched. Just can't think - what was the Hooded Claw's catchphrase?

ReplyDeleteYoud think with a fifteen inch high figure they would have at least made the elbows bend! Ive seen more moveable garden gnomes!
ReplyDeleteHate the whole thing. Ever since this film it's been a requirement that Aliens drip slime!
ReplyDeleteThere can be no peeeeeeaaaaaaaaace!
ReplyDeleteSaw Super 8 last night Andy and, guess what, no slime!
