Nice that we get to see more of Hank Pym here.
In the comics, Namor is known as being the world's first mutant, his mutant ability being the wings on his ankles that enable him to fly. He also refers to himself as a mutant in this movie, making it the first mention of mutants in the MCU.
Nice call back to the Warriors movie, during the night scene in Paris, you got a female DJ on the air broadcasting to the assassins where John Wick was last seen.
The Borg Queen's personality seems to be more human after her link up with Jurati, more emotional.
So no one mentioned that the "Prime Directive" was violated in this story. And let's face it, Kirk has done this a number of times, forced Federation (aka Western) values on another culture.
Amusing to see some attempts at sexual harassment by Mr. Chekov, some things just don't age well.
Elf egoistm at work, wanting a guy's superior sperm while calling him an inferior human.
I knew this movie was going to shit as soon as I saw the military group that got called in, they looked like a bunch of young adults that were cosplaying at being soldiers with lots of wasted bullets. Also what is supposed to be a top secret sealed lab has a tunnel leading to a strip club, WTF? Being horny certainly overrides survival sense.
Am I the only person that thinks that those demons had the face of Stitch from "Lilo & Stitch"
What the hell, an hour into the movie and there's a musical number in what is supposed to be a horror movie? This isn't bollywood.
In Ghost of Frankenstein Bela Lugosi played Igor, who's brain ended up being transplanted into the monsters body, and in this movie, the follow up, Lugosi plays the monster.
I saw this a couple of years after it first came out on TV and it was actually the very first zombie movie I ever saw so much of what I knew about flesh eating zombies came from this movie.
The first scene takes place in 1993 and has Natasha as a little girl living in the mid west, Ohio. Her character has multi color hair which would be unusual for a girl of that age today, let alone one in the mid west during that time period, especially one who was supposed to be undercover and thus should not be drawing attention to herself.
I know it's a plot device for the female lead to be such an idiot, but it gets to the point that you have no sympathy for anything that happens to her at this point. Every bad thing that has happened to her was a result of bad decisions on her part. She keeps getting involved in a game where you need some brains to win and she's a complete moron.
They overdo it with the blurred backgrounds and scenes in this thing, the blurs often go too long.
I hadn't seen this movie since the late 1970's and didn't remember Barbara Eden and Frankie Avalon being in it. I did remember Walter Pidgeon and Peter Lorre being in it. Del Monroe was only actor in both the movie and in the series. Overall a good movie and it might be one of the earliest ones to later become a TV series. If I recall correctly the main plot this movie was also the plot of one of the TV episodes. I noticed that in both the movie and TV series characters would sometimes smoke cigars or cigarettes in the submarine which is not allowed in submarines today and might not have been allowed back when the movie came out.
Naoko Yamada (Yukie Nakama) from the Trick series (https://trakt.tv/shows/trick) appears in this episode, trying her failed magician tricks and getting insults about her lack of boobage.
Yabe's dumb luck to the extreme, 5 different assassins' trying to kill the person he's pretending to be and dumb luck has them kill each other off.
In this series we sometimes see product placements, usually the "MM" brand labels, but this time we see Nikon cameras. This episode was in 1988 so they slide with this, now we'd see the camera names changed by a letter or two to something like Nikan or Nokon.
Yabe was bad enough in the previous season, taking credit for other people's work, this season he now blackmails his superiors in order to get promotions.
The cult symbol shown in this episode reminds me of the cult symbol shown in the movie 20th Century Boys, https://trakt.tv/movies/20th-century-boys-3-redemption-2009
Naoko Yamada (Yukie Nakama) from the Trick series (https://trakt.tv/shows/trick) has a cameo in this episode.
At first glance, the title would make it seem like this is a zombie movie, but there are no zombies, just aliens. The title more likely refers to characters appearing to have been killed but then coming back. I see that someone included that on a list of zombie movies, it really doesn't belong there.
In the scene with the cat editor, his staff makes references comparing him to Puss N Boots, Felix the Cat, and the cat from the Smurf series.
Note to people visiting Infant Island, radiation suits won't do you any good if you neglect to wear the included gloves and head gear. Also it looks like Godzilla gets to destroy the another castle as he did in King Kong Vs Godzilla, this time by tripping on it. the guy just loves to destroy landmarks.
Really, the best fighter in the comics, Cassandra Cain, is reduced to being pretty much a helpless victim type. In the comics Cain could beat any of the other ladies in this group. She even beat her mother, Lady Shiva, a person that Batman was never able to beat. She was pretty much Batman's surrogate daughter for a while.
So it never occurred to Daisuke to use his partners phone to call his own cell and have it bought to him? but I suppose it would have lessened the being out of his element storyline
Simple times, Inspector hears that the professors home is being invaded by a large gang and he doesn't call for backup but instead goes to the home with only a kid, Jimmy Sparks. Remember this series is in Japan, with much stricter gun control laws than in the U.S., yet the kid is using a gun, WTF.
You're objecting to an autopsy being performed on the corpse of an enemy alien solider, to the point that you're about to be put in detention for arguing with your superiors, really? That's the hill you want to die on?
"But if you aim for the cockpit you'll kill the pilot", yeah that's pretty much how war works, you kill them or they kill you. Again why is this bratty teenage girl in a command position?
