4.0 out of 5 stars The Mole, October 28, 2001

This review is from: Mole People [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The Mole People is an interesting movie. John Agar is the leader of an anthropological expedition looking for another lost tribe somewhere in the mountains of the Middle East. The expedition (includes Beaver's dad Hugh Beaumont) accidentally find the lost Sumerians (Batman's Alfred, Alan Napier is the high priest). The Mole People can't stand the sunlight, offer sacrifices, have a terrible dance scene, and end the end appear to be destroyed. It's not a bad movie and the Mystery Science 3000 version is even better.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Mole People, December 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mole People [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If you're in the mood for a lost civilization romance, and are willing to accept the story's premises, this movie is excellent escapist fare. The actual story doesn't begin until after a ten minute unnecessary introduction, and is only about 70 minutes long. I'm always amazed by how much happens in that short time (though the dance sequence does go on too long). As a child, the ending was a complete surprise to me; as an adult, I still find a sense of wonder in it, and in the movie as a whole.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beware of Mount Kuitarra, January 4, 2001

This review is from: Mole People [VHS] (VHS Tape)

In the beginning, there was Frank Baxter, a professor of English, explaining to us various theories through the centuries of how man views his planet in relation to the solar system. Some have seen us looking inward at the stars, others see the earth as a big onion with layers and each layer has inhabitants but there is always, in all the theories a way to reach the center. This is what Mole People is about, three geologist/anthropoligists who accidently stumble onto an ancient Sumerian-like civilization hundreds of feet down. John Agar, Hugh Beaumont and Nestor Paiva are our heroes. They are regarded as gods by the subterranean natives because they possess the fire of Ishtar (a flashlight). The Mole People are slaves to these none too benign pale omnipotents. Gradually, the quasi-Sumerians figure out that our heroes are not gods and try to kill them by placing them in a white hot, brillantly bright hole. Meanwhile, the Mole People attack, killing off the pale bunch, but the good girl escapes with the help of the MP into the bright hole. Strangely enough, the ending has a surprise for us. Goody! There have been better 50's flicks, but there have been a whole lot worse. The atmosphere was dank and creepy in the caves and you never knew when the Mole People would drag you under. Four stars.
