Stoner Movie

Black and White Japanese film from the late 50s.

It's really strange.

The aliens are Japanese with hook noses!

Everyone talks like it's so normal for space aliens to land.

Is it a good film? Not in the slightest. But if you're a bit you know, you'll probably find it a hoot.

The plot A Group of space men from the planet Krankor who resemble chickens are led by their leader, Phantom to invade Earth.

But a strange superhero named Prince of Space (actually a bootblack in disguise) arrives to defeat the spacemen.

Although the weapons of the aliens cannot harm the Prince of Space, the Phantom continues to fight, and many plot twists (including capturing a group of elderly scientists) ensue.

Watch out for the Giant!
