First Yank Into Tokyo (1945)
i swear i remember this film with a different title
I swear when I watched this movie as a child it was called " I Was a Jap for the F.B.I." Does anyone remember that or am I thinking of something else? I remember that the main character undergoes plastic surgery and the only way the Japanese are able to discover him is by watching films of old American college football games when he played and noticed he had a habit of twiddling his thumbs which he is still doing during a secret meeting with the Japanese.
Teenage Zombies (1959)
ed wood would have been embarrased to have his name on the credits
This is without a doubt the second worst movie I have in my collection [ children shouldn't play with dead things is the worst] but being a Don Sullivan fan I feel compelled to keep it. It takes place on a forgotten island some 30 miles off the coast, what coast you don't know and apparently not forgotten by the local teens who manage to get there in a boat that I'd be afraid to take in a lake. The poster would lead you to believe that a gorilla has a big part in the movie which it doesn't and the two sexy teen girls spend the entire movie locked in the pulsating cage of terror. The sheriff is predictably inept and the problem of the foreign agents with a new nerve gas is solved by the local teens once again led by our man Don Sullivan [ whatever happened to him, can anyone help ] How these people are managed to be captured by zombies that move almost as fast as frankenstein is beyond me but they do and the movie drags on to the inevitable conclusion [ watch for the climactic fistfight and the arm waving jocularity of our heroes at the end].
The Giant Gila Monster (1959)
your talkin like my foots asleep
This is 50's sci-fi at it's classic best. Eliminate the female characters and one horrible song [ the lord said laugh children laugh ] and you've got high entertainment. The wino is the highlight of the movie but you've also got rock and roll and hot rods. A warm summer night and the drive-in is the reason these movies were made. I still wonder what happened to Don Sullivan considering Steve McQueen made it after the " Blob " why not Don ? Pay attention to the ending if you want to see the only hot rod in the world that steers and shifts itself.
The Monster of Piedras Blancas (1959)
Highly entertaining
Very entertaining movie,gives you a real feel for the time it was made.Was one of Don Sullivan's best and makes you wonder, if Steve McQueen could advance from " Blob " what ever happened to Don Sullivan? My friends and I first saw this movie late on night while camping out in the backyard with an extension cord stretched to an old b/w and the scene where the monster comes out with the head scared us to death!
