The cult movie written in 2 DAYS! - Track of the Moon Beast (1976)
Комедия
On this episode of Weird Movies With Mark, I talk about Track of the Moon Beast (1976)
This movie was written over the course of a weekend and even though it was made in 1972, it sat on the shelf for 4 years because no one wanted to distribute it

Mark's ability to insert himself into movies has grown by leaps and bounds. It's only a matter of time before we see him as Julia Child in _The French Chef,_ making a tasty dish out of chicken, corn, green peppers, chili... sigh... onions....

The outro automatically puts me in a good mood. Hell I've even rewound before.
What I love about camping: the fresh air, feeling closer to nature, and just getting away from society in general. Cons: I'm camping.
I love the scene in the police station,where Mark is saying (over the actual dialogue):”He was killed by a dinosaur?That’s gonna be a lot of paperwork.I’m not even sure if we have forms for that.”

Sadly, this was the last written story for the late Bill Finger (the guy who co-created Batman). He passed away in 1974.
Johnny being a part of every scene yet utterly superfluous to the story is hilarious. The character gives off real writer/director stand-in energy. I am just amazed he isn't wearing a black tanktop.
Almost two months have gone by and as a lady from Washington state who loves corn, I still have that end song stuck in my head
I just want to thank this show for introducing me to so many wonderful bad movies Troll 2, Samurai Cop, The Room, Star Crash, The Apple and a few good ones like the original Wicker Man from 1973.

Now that was one high-energy concert scene - the audience was really gettin' into it. Another awesome review, Mark. Thank You for all the suffering you go through for us.
I loved how you inserted yourself in the x-ray lab and made your image grainy to match the film! Another home run, Mark!
At last, Mark made it to this one. I applaud him for his concern for Paul's mom.
One of my favorite MST3K episodes, and one of my favorite one liners ("Smile, Paul's ass!") Also, the writer of this movie was Bill Finger, who was the co-creator or Batman.

Skin cancer run had me laughing! Apparently, the actor knew he was making a movie and only going to be there briefly to act out his scene, so no sun block, sunglasses, etc. were necessary... 😁
I love how @ 1:00, the guy is delicately excavating and dusting off bones, and then proceeds to slam a shovel in the same area where the bones are at!
My favorite part of camping is fictional camping. Actual camping is always miserable.

I’m pretty sure this entire movie was filmed in New Mexico and I definitely remember it being something of a staple on local NM television from the late-70s through early-80s. I first watched it when I was around 7 years old and it was the scariest movie that I was allowed to watch up to that point in my childhood. I definitely remember the film inspiring a few nightmares, which were far scarier than the actual film itself.
My sister had this on an old DVD collection, so we watched it one night and laughed our heads off. We made the recipe the next day dinner.
I died when he said too much fresh air 😂
"I'm not really that type of Doctor, I just like to tell people what's wrong with them... so that I can feel better about myself" now one of my favorite lines from all scenes of Mark inserting himself into a scene. haha
It was the "PAUL!" when she saw the lizard had escaped that had me rolling. The bob of her head, then grabbing her wig to push it back in place...Priceless! 😹
Lol even when you do the in character interludes that go on for too long it's still somehow right. It just makes them funnier. More than once I've thought "ok that's enough" then start laughing again. I really like how much effort you put into the costumes on them lately. They might be my favorite part of these but then again I love the whole format

Mark it’s a crime against humanity that you don’t have at least a million subscribers, like what the fuck? This is one of the best channels of all time.
I love how the poster is doing what the film couldn't: have an awesome, muscular beast. In the movie they have a crappy beast suit and a buff dude who's inexplicably taking his shirt off because it's the best they could do with no budget. In the poster we see them as we were meant to, combined!
Thank you for your service, Mark!

My eldest son lives in Albuquerque (where this movie was filmed). He can ride a motorcycle. He's a zookeeper in the local reptile exhibit and he's obsessed with dinosaurs. He has three pet monitor lizards in his apartment, and he dates a blond girl. He's basically the real life Paul, just waiting to metamorphose.
"Enjoy Track of the Moon Beast. It stars Nobody and features Nothing. I hope you choke on it." - Pearl 😂
This movie was filmed very close to where I live! It's shot in Albuquerque, or the areas around it. I've considered trying to hunt down the film locations before. There are a lot of reservations around ABQ though, and I honestly have no idea which rez was involved here or if I'd be allowed to visit.

Not like they have border fences and guards on reservations. But there may be rules about wandering around the area. Unless the filmmakers didn't go to a reservation.
Great episode! You're a master of hilarious disguises. 🦖✨
Even while transformed into a monster it's good to see that he remembers what mother taught him about always making sure his bed is made (@10:02) before leaving the house.
Mark is getting so skilled in his video editing. amazing work, man! oh,.. and still funny as ever.
Being hit by a small meteorite and turning in to a rampaging monster is how my uncle died well the angry mob is how he died but context matters.
Oh, great, after years of flushing it out, I've got "California Lady" playing over and over in my head... Thanks SO much, Mark.
Oh god, I remember this from MST3K, watched it within the past year with my dad. The concert cameo you put yourself in was hilarious, although I do want to point out the one dude in the audience resembles Lemmy Kilmister from Motorhead.

This was one of the first MST3K episodes I ever saw as a kid and my entrance into the wonderful world of stew recipes.
Honestly one of the greatest channels on youtube, absolutely hilarious.
The drunk bowling guy’s death steals one of the greatest of horror shots of all time from Val Lawton and Jacques Tourneur’s The Leopard Man. At least this movie made me think of a great movie.
Mark's inserts in the movies is on point here.
Dude, seriously. You make KZread a better place. Always jazzed to see a new video. And you nailed the worst part about camping, it's feeling grimy after the first night. Definitely spoiled by modern living in that regard.
This movie was tailormade for MST3K. One of the highlights of the Sci-fi era, IMHO.
i love the woods. i can always tell when someone is a newbie to the woods when they fear all noise caused by creatures. your fine when you hear the cacophony. silence is when you should be on edge. idk something calming knowing there are all these animals i cant see around me.

Wow. Looking at Wikipedia, the guy who helped in the writing of this flick was comic book writer, Bill Finger. Who helped co-create BATMAN for crying out loud. WTF?! I’m guessing Bill must have been friends with the director or something and decided to him a favor. Bill must’ve helped with the artwork of the movie cover, because it definitely looks it was actually made for a comic book cover.
Mark, just wanted to say that your creativity and effort on this platform have been appreciated by myself and no doubt plenty others over the years. Ive been watching your content for 6 or 7 years now and your sense of humour and understanding of as well as passion for film is spot on and its a strange time that we live in that I feel to a certain extent that I’ve grown up with you, despite only watching the youtube videos you put out. Dont get me wrong I’m 38 and I would wager at least a couple years older than you but the point stands.😁 This last year in particular has been a bit of a shitstorm for me and yet I’ve always found a laugh and from time to time learned something about the film making process simply from watching the increasingly entertaining film commentaries you put together. Apologies for the ramble but thought it only right I say that you’re an absolute fucking diamond of a bloke and you should be proud of the work you put out.

Coincidentally there was a picture of a Tyrannasaurus Rex on the wall in the police station when they concluded that the footprints were by a Tyrannasaurus. They just casually assumed and accepted that a species that lived millions of years before humans was the culprit. Occam’s razor at work there.
