Jabootu's Bad Movie Dimension

Well, that octopus clearly just wants to phone home. Thanks to Jabootu Historian Luke B. for several of this week's monsters.

Finally, the Jelly Babies have their revenge! Funny these guys have never reemerged. This is a fondly remembered episode, and the race is oft-mentioned. Well, they brought back the Zygons, so who knows?

Aww, rats! (See what I did there?) This still makes the suit look MUCH better than it did on the show.

So many puns...

"I said, 'No tickee, NO SHIRTIE!"

It's not a bug, it's a feature. Am I right, gentlemen?

Here's the French poster for Piranha. This one goes with the swarm idea more appropriate for piranhas, but again makes them outsized, which sort of misses the point. That said, it indicates the mass carnage scene, which in a rare instance for those days, this film really pays off on. Kudos to Joe Dante.…

No surprise here.

The rip-off so blatant Universal was literally able to legally bar it from playing in this country. And so it remains roughly 40 years later. There was a little company which put out like a 500 unit DVD run, probably not strictly legal. Of course, a copy sits on my shelves. This poster exaggerates…

Not as bad as yesterday's film, but no classic. Mostly notable for mixing two iconic '70s film genres; killer fish and political paranoia thrillers.
