A documentary??

[notundercovercop32]

With the creation of CREEP! the feature length documentary about The Creeping Terror an important question has been posed. Which MST films would you like to see a feature length documentary about?
I'd like to learn more about the Cave Dwellers and the Film Ventures international saga.

[ilmatto]

Yes Cave Dwellers is a good one, it would be interesting to drag out Miles O'Keefe and Lisa Foster and talk to them.
I'd like to see documentaries on Moon Zero Two, First Spaceship on Venus, and the original movie Cherez Ternii K Zvezdam from which the travesty Humanoid Woman was derived.
The director has passed away but his son recently generated a new print of the film with an improved English translation.

Eegah's got an interesting story and you got Jr and Kiel to interview... to bad it's already out or we might have gotten one of those SHOUT documentaries

[Continuing Legend]

This is my answer to every question about MST episodes ever, but Track of the Moon Beast.

I simply MUST understand the pointless, confusing prank.

Merlin-
We could maybe shed some light on "Rock n Roll Martian".

King Dinosaur-
Why did that one guy hate women so much??

[inlovewithcrow]

Final Sacrifice, naturally. The guy who plays Rowsdower sounds interesting and good humored, it'd serve as inspiration to wannabe auteurs, and there's all that lovely Canadian landscape for background. I'm sure there are amusing stories from the Jr. B. hockey guys in masks (as I always think of them, Jr B d-men gone to seed). In fact, I'd make it myself if I had a) fifteen hundred spare Canadian dollars, b) energy and c) talent. Alas, I do not.

Good question. I'll have to think about it.

But for right now: Werewolf.

Glad we're getting at least a mini-doc on Coleman Francis with this next DVD set. He sounds like a fascinating guy. I'm hoping someday down the line they do an "Ed Wood"-esque bio-pic of him.

There's probably some interesting background on the BOGGY CREEK movies, and Charles B. Pierce. Doc could also throw in info about the actual legend.

I'd love some behind-the-scenes looks at any of the Russo-Finnish flicks, but I doubt anything exists.

Would be good to get some dirt on the making of BATWOMAN. . .if only to find out what the hell they were thinking?!?

[fathermushroom]

^^^^^^

If you buy the Russain re-releases of some of those flicks, they come with mini documentaries and interviews, with subtitles. I forget which ones they do this for, I think "Sadko" (Magic Voyage of Sinbad) has an interview with Sinbad's son. I think "Morozko" (Jack Frost) has an interview with the actress who played the heroine.

Good question! I'd like a documentary covering the years of "cheapie" films--those ground out by the poverty row stables to provide the second film on the bill in the days of double features. Everything from Girls Town to The Sinister Urge could be covered.

I've always enjoyed the interviews with the actors they've found for things like Sinister Urge and Giant Gila Monster. It strikes me that while none of them thought they were doing Hamlet, they really cared about doing a good job and creating a character, and good for them.

Also, a documentary about Hamlet.

Guy named Shakespeare wrote it. Often performed by blokes wearing tights. Redone more often than it really should be.



I'd love a documentary on Angel's Revenge. That cast, that horrid script, my inborn certainty that catering was provided by Pablo Escobar...it would be glorious.

[Drunken Fist]

Outlaw of Gor! As one of the most idiotic movies they ever watched, it's ripe with potential for some interesting backstory.
All of the ones mentioned so far are good, too. I'd watch 'em all.

[James of LinHood]

Space Mutiny.

Just so I could find out why the director wanted and/or allowed Big McLargeHuge to scream like a woman.
