Killdozer (1974) US tv movie


Filmed in 1974 for U.S. television, Killdozer was based on a 1944 Theodore Sturgeon short story and was also adapted in comic book form by Marvel Comics that same year. Familiar faces such as Clint Walker, Neville Brand, and Robert Urich populate the small work crew; who are beginning the construction of an airstrip on an African island. A strange meteor causes much mayhem for the crew.

Presented below is the movie that also provided a name for a noisy favorite Wisconsin band.

Battle Beyond The Sun / Nebo zovyot (1960)


Roger Corman purchased the Soviet created sci-fi flick Nebo zovyot,
renamed it Battle Beyond The Sun, and hired young buck
Francis Ford Coppola to film some additional scenes for it's
English language version. Most notable is the "climatic" melee
between two alien creatures, each of which crudely resembles
male and female genitals. Good times at the drive-in!

Navajo Joe (1966)


I've been a committed fan of spaghetti westerns ever since attending a 3-D, theatrical showing of late entry Comin' at Ya! (1981) during it's initial run. Among the many genre films I've viewed since then, the Euro-westerns from Sergio Corbucci stand out and Navajo Joe (1966) is no exception.

The film provided Burt Reynolds with an early motion picture role as the title character. He alone survives after his people are massacred by a violent and sadistic group of bandits, lead by Duncan, and he seeks to extract an equally bloody revenge on the killers. There's more to the plot involving a train robbery and treachery among Duncan and his uneasy partner, the duplicitous Dr. Chester Lynne.

Adding to the film's qualities is a typically excellent soundtrack by Ennio Morricone. Also notable is the sultry Nicoletta Machiavelli's first appearance in a spaghetti western.


Both the trailer and feature are included below.
