Fun review. If you haven't seen & reviewed 67's "Battle Beneath the Earth," I think you'll really enjoy it. The IMDB synopsis: A Chinese general goes berserk and has a system of tunnels dug all the way from China to USA, under the Pacific Ocean! Wherever there is an important military base, he places atomic bombs. US Navy soldiers go underground to repel the invaders. Great 'B' schlock.

According to Wikipedia (yeah, I know) the MPAA ratings system went into effect the same year this movie came out (1968). And at that time, the ratings were G--suggested for general audiences, M--suggested for mature audiences, R--Restricted - persons under 16 not admitted, unless accompanied by parent or adult guardian and X, persons under 16 not admitted. In the 70s, M was changed to GP, which then changed to PG in 1972 and R was changed from under 16 required an adult to under 17 required an adult. PG-13 came along in 1984 (heh) and in 1990 X was changed to NC-17. So, basically the ratings system at the time of this movie's release was a beta version and has been revised several times since then. source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_Picture_Association_of_America_film_rating_system

And the reason they stopped using the x rating is because porn movies started giving it to themselves because the ratings system is basically voluntary, and the MPAA officially retired the X rating in favor of NC-17 because they couldn’t get them to stop.

Wow, the "William Finger" actually IS the guy who co-created Batman with Bob Kane. He also co-created Green Lantern, according to Wiki. And, the producers actually did intend for this to be a sort of sequel to "Wild, Wild Planet" and "War of the Planets".

I have vague memories about seeing this movie on TV as part of a "creature feature" on Saturday afternoon when I was just a kid. I never knew the name of it, but I remember it because it scared the crap out of my 8yo self at the time. I didn't remember that catchy song though! How did I not pick up on that?

I have been looking for it for ages. the aestetic is similar to this movie but dont seems like it. I remember the creature spoke to the astronaut and could use his mind to keep his spaceship from launching.

Every time I hear that theme song I think of Nancy Sinatra dancing in a mini skirt and go-go boots

Is anyone else totally rocking out to the theme song?

my favorite of them all (of your reviews), so far... cause I LOOOOOOOOOOVE The Green Slime.... in my top 10 movies of ALL-TIME!!!!!! thank you soooooooooo much for doing this one!!!!!!

Someone named Rankin but no one named Bass? Very disappointed!

If you recognize Elliot, it's because Richard Jaeckel also played Sergeant Bowren (the MP always accompanying Lee Marvin) in The Dirty Dozen.

Richard Jaeckel was in legitimate classics like "Sands Of Iwo Jima", "3;10 To Juma" (semicolon to avoid an unnecessary time code), "The Dirty Dozen", "Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid", "Chisum", and "The Drowning Pool"... ... and in "Green Slime" ...and on "Baywatch" as two different characters. He was in the pilot, then came back for the rough first few _"budget provided by product placement, because NBC cancelled us after the first season"_ years. Oof! What a weird career he had. 51 years as a working actor, in an industry where a lot of people don't last five years - or even six months.

I really want to see this movie now

This movie was 100% better then last weeks compared to the great alligator this is an Oscar worthy movie lol but great commentary as always Brandon look forward to next weeks video
