Attack from Space

Feature film · 2016

Several 50s Japanese sci-fi movies edited into one nonsensical American TV movie, featuring Starman—a pudgy guy in a tight unitard fighting gem-themed aliens who have a Death Star.

With Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, Bill Corbett

"Oh look, honey, we got something from Space!"
"That's nice, open it, what is it?"
"Ugh, looks like it's another stupid Attack."
"You know, I've just about had it with Space."


Attack from Space! Several Japanese sci-fi movies from the 50s, conveniently and nonsensically edited and repackaged into one American TV movie in the 60s. The system works!

The aliens of the Emerald Planet, who are basically piles of shoeboxes wrapped in tin foil sitting at a table in space, are worried about their enemies the Sapphireans attacking Earth and taking over the whole dang universe. That's right, Emeralds vs. Sapphires, there really aren't enough gemstone based feuds in modern sci-fi.

So naturally the Emerald guys summon Starman, a pudgy man in a tight, no-detail-spared unitard with a goofy antenna and a couple of guns. Not laser guns, just regular normal guns, for shooting people. Science fiction!

Will Starman defeat the Sapphireans and save the universe? Can he destroy their Death Star? Do they really have a thing called the Death Star? Yes, they really do!

Strap on your head-antenna and buckle your space diaper, it's time to join Mike, Kevin and Bill for an Attack from Space!

Spend some money, people. There's like three sequels to this.

i guess no one liked this one.

I thought the riffing was really funny, but it was the kind of movie that is super painful to sit through to the point that it will probably not become one I return to often.

The meeting of the triangle alien council. (AKA the best bit of the movie)

[Toyland Chairman]

I get a kick out of Starman fighting the alien Space Nazis, even if it tends to go on too long. They must have blew their budget with the council costumes.

The film is followed by INVADERS FROM SPACE, ATOMIC RULERS, and EVIL BRAIN FROM OUTER SPACE. Hint, hint.

Also no one noticed the Horror at Party Beach loud horn music
