I love the wheeled vehicle on the cover of this old German sci-fi mag, Terra #510. Can't think what it reminds me of? The astronauts look like Mattel's Man in Space Major Matt Mason! What do you think readers?
Yup, super cool & TOTALLY '60, I agree! I have just seen it for the first time last week: my only complaint is that is unfortunate that I had not seen it when I was a child! :-)
Here is a wonderful page on the use and reuse of the M02 spacesuits: http://www.davidsissonmodels.co.uk/Moon%20Zero%20Two%20Spacesuits.htm
AAMOF I decided to look at M02 because David mentioned it in a comment here on MBC a couple of weeks ago! :-) Barbarella was exactly the movie that came to my mind seeing the dancers babes in M02! BB is a movie I always liked a lot, for its dreamlike '70 looks. And for Jane Fonda, of course. I had an almost life-size poster of her on a wall of my room when I was a teen... :-D E.
The Bava's movie? Are you joking, aren't you? ;-D 1) I'm from 1961; 2) I'm a life-long SF fan; 3) I'm Italian; 4) moreover, I'm from Trieste, the city of the '60 & '70 "International Festival of the Science Fiction Movies" ( https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festival_internazionale_del_film_di_fantascienza_di_Trieste - in Italian only, alas). Any more questions, my friend? :-DDD E.
ha ha! I'm laughing Ervino! I should have known! Yes, Bava is the king! So tell me, do you think that Planet of the Vampires was an influence on ALIEN or not?
I read about that hypotesis. Frankly I haven't see it in about a dozen or so years, so I haven't a fresh impression. You resolved for me what to do this afternoon of rain and half a cold: I will have a pass at it (together with Barbrella... pun unfotrunately only a pun! :-) and let you know my profund comparate analysis this evening... ;-) Cheers Ervino
They are more "Moon Zero Two" like, IMO... :-)

I see what you mean Ervino. Moon Zero Two was a super cool film. I was shocked as a child when the space helmet turned and had a skull inside!
DeleteHi Woodsy!

DeleteDavid reads the blog I think. Moon Zero two is one his fave films!

Italian rain! I could do with some of that. Got to be more interesting than English rain! Enjoy.
