Watch Evil Brain from Outer Space For Free

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The Worst Film Ever

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

This hilariously stupid film was edited together from three episodes of "Supa Jaiantsu," a Japanese TV show about an extraterrestrial superhero called Starman. (Funny, he doesn't look Jewish.) Balazar (sp?), the evil leader of the planet Zumeria (again, I'm guessing at the spelling) has been killed, but his brain was kept alive and plans to add the Earth to the Zumerian empire. He will do so by arming his soldiers with nuclear weapons and dispatching the mutants created by Zumerian scientists. In response, the high council of alien leaders (from their base on the Emerald Planet) orders Starman to Earth to stop the invasion and destroy Balazar's brain.From there, we get a lot of strangely choreographed fight scenes that I swear have a "West Side Story" groove to them. These scenes show the Zumerians to be a bunch of wimps. All Starman has to do is kick a few butts, and the Zumerian soldiers flee for their lives. The mutants-- who I've nicknamed "The Radioactive-Steam Breather" and "Hawkwoman"--were so damned silly-looking, I laughed uproariously when they first appeared on-screen. And the high council looks as zany as any gathering of low-budget aliens you'll ever see.Starman is a rather stodgy, uncharismatic superhero. If you played a drinking game based on how many times he changes facial expressions, you would die of thirst. Not to mention Starman's preposterous costume, which gives him a male camel toe that enters the room before he himself does.When the Zumerians "disguise" themselves as Earth people (by dressing like Humphrey Bogart), we're told they paid for their food and clothes by robbing banks. Why they didn't just steal the food and clothing directly is anyone's guess. That's just one of many sub-plots the film introduces and just as quickly abandons. (Tommy Wiseau must have been taking notes.)Still, this is a piece of entertainment made for Japanese children some 50-odd years ago. Its utter stupidity and silliness have endeared it to me. THE EVIL BRAIN FROM OUTER SPACE is 78 minutes of mindless fun that I likely will watch again someday.

Obviously cobbled together from several episodes of a TV series and thus barely coherent, but jetting along at a super swift pace that rarely flags for a minute, this screwball Japanese sci-fi lunacy relates the loopy tale of a monstrous evil brain from outer space (that's carried around in a suitcase!) who leads his grotesque minions on a crusade to conquer the universe. The evil brain unleashes a horde of hideous monsters that include a fanged lizard dude with lethal long nails and a creepy witch lady on Earth. It's up to gallant superhero Starman to save the day. Man, does this honey scrupulously cover all the right wrong bases to qualify as a real choice chunk of pure kitsch: A gloriously inane story that's treated with utmost seriousness, cruddy dubbing, lovably rinky dink (far from) special effects, a ridiculously solemn narrator who works mad overtime to keep the ramshackle narrative reasonably linear and cohesive, a colorful array of goofy aliens (the humanoid starfish beings in particular are an absolute hoot), an overwrought orchestral score, silly villains (my favorite was the nasty one-legged guy who limps along on crutches), and crazy fights that are choreographed like violent ballet set pieces. Sidesplitting stuff.

(my 13 year old son wrote this) I was watching this movie on Retro TV (dont ask me why) and when the monster multiplied on the bridge and flew away i was like hey wait where have i seen that i know that wait Testify by Rage Against the Machine which is a video about how similar Bush and Gore where its funny to see how amazingly bad this movie was when you see it decades later.Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JSBhI_0at0the video also contains other obscure alien movies.The movie has everything you'd want in a cheesy 1960s era Japenese scifi movie; bad guys in matching outfits, kabuki dancing evil doers with jazz hands, really bad special effects, dubbing by emotionless actors, and a hero - Starman - in tights effortless fighting off all manner of threats.

This is remindful of the bad television shows that made up the majority of offerings of the fifties. It may have been the golden age but there was a lot of lead among the gold. This has a sappy superhero in tights (like Superman) who clicks with little kids. He doesn't seem to have any problem beating up 60 or 70 bad guys at a time. There is a threat from outer space and a brain that controls everything. It must be destroyed. The monsters are a collection of Japanese guys in weird costumes. They seem versed in the martial arts, but come to no good end. This isn't a show for adults and if you were to update it and substitute cartoon characters for the humans here, it would fit right in on Saturday morning. Hardly worth the effort.
