Monster of the Day #3237

I’ve never actually watched this, and it surely seems unlikely we’ll ever get a remastered version of this. By which I mean, I doubt there is a master print of this sitting around anyway. Looking at this, it kind of looks like a Larry Buchanan film written by Ed Wood. That might just be me fantasizing, though.

    “Attack of the Angry Coconut Man”…I’m guessing.

    Coconut man works for me, I looked at it and don’t have a clue what it’s supposed to be.

    That’s a fairly accurate assessment actually, that it feels like a Buchanan film scripted by Wood. What I found most interesting was seeing parts of Japan double for Florida in the first reel, having seen parts of Florida double for so many other parts of the world in other films.

    Should anyone not recognize this obscurity, it’s called THE VENUS FLYTRAP. It made the rounds on VHS back in the 80’s, but for some reason the credits were copied from MAD DOCTOR OF BLOOD ISLAND.

    More famous (on an extremely slight scale) as The Revenge of Dr. X.

    Oh–I do have that one, on one of those “50 Things We’re Calling ‘Movies'” box sets.

    There’s a Rifftrax version of Revenge of Dr. X currently available for streaming, though I honestly can’t recommend it.

    I thought it looked familiar. Without the topless ama I was not sure ;-)

  • Gamera977

    Ah, now I’m embarrassed. This one I’ve seen and not that long ago.

    And the mad doctor was asking for it, I mean you take a carnivorous plant and make it ambulatory and what do you expect!?!?

    “I created you, you must obey me!” As I once noted (my favorite axiom I ever came up with), that doesn’t work with teenagers, why would it work with monsters?

  • Beckoning Chasm

    Like the Vervoids–let’s make ambulatory plant creatures, but we’ll make them intelligent, hostile AND give them deadly stings in their palms!

    I just recently read a short story from the 30’s about Satan and the Anti-Christ from the old Unknown World pulp magazine that used this line. Satan says it to his ‘son’ when the kid refuses to help him lead humanity to destruction. The kid’s response is even better: “‘I created you, you must obey me’? How well did that line work when you heard it?”

  • Yeah, that’s the version I’ve seen as well, and the movie’s dire enough that even they can’t do much with it.
