Not only is 'Red Dawn' missing, but 'The Giant Gila Monster', as well. Lists suck.
I know!! (should I admit this??) I liked Red Dawn! .. Now 'The Giant Gila Monster'.. this is one film I dont know about ..uh ..is it one I dont want to know about ?? ;P
It's one of those 50's sci-fi flicks that the local UHF (you remember that, don't you?) channel used to run late Saturday night...'Creature Feature', or some such. It featured rebel refugees from 'Dobie Gillis' reluctantly teaming up with the local sheriff to battle a giant gila monster that was running around eating freight trains and stuff...budget was about 4 dollars, and it showed. Can't believe you missed this one...
Oh gosh! YES ..!! I do remember UHF!! Locally they had some guy on the late night flicks.. who used the name the Cool Ghoul!! He was so outrageous!
We had the Groovy Movie on UHF, almost always involving the infamous Erik von Zipper.
Erik von ZIPPER?? Uh okay~ ROFLMAO!! Not X rated films were they?? :P
Eric Von Zipper's real name was Harvey Lembeck, and he is in such films as "Beach Blanket Bingo," which was the picture above that didn't show up, and maybe "Pajama Party." He was a goofy motorcycle club leader who'd say things like, "When Eric von Zipper adores someone, they stay adored!"

Yep, that's him. Someday, I'm going to buy every '60s beach film ever made. I already have "The Giant Gila Monster," which has some of the coolest hotrods a guy ever lusted for.

I remember Phantasm and the flying ball that would pump your brains out, but I don't have any memory of that 'Cuda. Sure like to have that. The 'Cuda, I mean. Well, maybe the ball, too.
