4.0 out of 5 stars "Will you believe it when you're dead? ... Green Sliiiiiiiiiimme!...", November 25, 2010

This review is from: The Green Slime [Remaster] (DVD)

I ordered this directly through the Warner Archive site
and received it a few days ago. (Pricey!) Anyway, I'm glad
to finally have this among my Japanese monster collection.
This film creeped me out as a kid when I first saw it in
theaters, mainly because the creatures were just too weird.
It's goofy, cheesy, and a lot of fun - with a plot that
predates 'Armageddon' as astronauts attempt to blow up
an asteroid on a collision course with Earth. They do so,
but end up contaminating their space station Gamma III
(an extremely low-budget plastic toy obviously inspired
by '2001', which was still popular at the time) with the
titular crud that spawns the space monsters. I wouldn't
be surprised if this, in some goofy way, also influenced
'Aliens'. The film was made in conjunction with Japan's
Toei studio and directed by their ace 'yakuza' director
Kinji Fukusaku, who recently found renewed fame with his
'Battle Royale' series of films. The quality of this disc
is miles ahead of its vhs counterpart (the only other one
in existence) and is widescreen - though there's no extras
and no chapter stops. I believe that's typical for Warner
Archive editions. You may want to wait for the price to
drop however.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best movie I ever appeared in., September 4, 2002

This review is from: The Green Slime [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Richard Jaeckel was great.. courteous to the extras, acted well. Better production values than "King Kong Escapes" One of the better Japanese science fiction movies.

Little known fact.. the actor playing the monster in the green slime also played Godzilla in the 1960's Godzilla movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's about time !!, November 7, 2010

All I can say is "It's about time" for The Green Slime !!
Having grown up on this cheesy little slice of Jap/American filmaking I'm so happy I can put my crappy VHS away and finally see it on DVD. This movie has everything that a B movie lover could want !! Over the top acting ... cheesy monsters and one of the greatest instumentals songs of all time !! (Where Jack and Lisa are dancing and arguing over Vince. I can still play it on my synthesizer)Heck you can't even forget about the theme song that will having you swinging and singing till the dawn. lol
If you love the B-movies from the late 60's then this is honestly a movie for you. Imagine it... late Friday night ... home alone or with that special someone ... you just popped some corn and then you put your copy of "The Green Slime" in the DVD player.
It don't get much better than this folks.
