Of course, much of this exercise’s camp appeal comes from the hilarious inappropriateness of its main alien villains – two guys in gorilla suits crowned with silver space helmets. Still, there are a couple parallels to better pictures that may give this film’s viewers a moment of pause. In a moment of Frankenstein solemnity, the film’s youngest heroine meets her downfall at the hands’ of one of the Ro-Man’s. Meanwhile, the film’s focus on the young Jimmy (Gregory Moffett) ultimately has many correlations with the arc of The Wizard of Oz‘s Dorothy.
Still, one has to wonder what was harder for the masculine Nader – keeping a straight face while filming this Golden Turkey winner or having to play straight to meet Hollywood’s ultra-aggressive ‘Code of Honor’? Unfortunately, I am guessing it was probably the latter.
Still, you can’t complain too much about the silly glories of Robot Monster! Check the trailer below!:

I remember watching this on Saturday mornings as a kid. Even as a 6-year-old I recognized that Robot Monster belonged in a special category of cinema reserved for the likes of The Creeping Terror.
Thanks for the flashback!
Eric – I must admit I am a new inductee into the awesomeness that is Robot Monster. But, like a beloved stain, it feels like it has been with my forever! Thanks as always, for your great comments and support!
