Please follow Blu-ray.com's link if you decide to order it (sucker!). I'm simply just spreading the word.

Oh this looks all kinds of awesome

Directed by a man whose first name is "Thunder"

A bald Carl Weathers whose name is Capt. McKraken (The Kraken - geddit?)

Featuring Mario's son who's called "Mandella Van Peebles"

And Mario himself looking an alien ship in the eye and saying Robert Shaw style "we'd better fire the big guns"

Cannot wait for this to hit a late night cable channel near me!!

Thanks for posting

So, what's sadder:
Asylum doing a pre-emptive Battleship knockoff, or Asylum actually believing Battleship will be WORTH doing a pre-emptive knockoff of?

(But they've also got both Snow White movies covered too, just in case.
Yeah, it public domain, but then, so is the word "Battleship".)

Why not save your time and not watch either one?

But it is true that these movies are fun to watch, they have a lot of

moments, even if they never wanted to have these

moments in the first place.

Poor Carl. Reduced to 2nd billing on a mockbuster.

Thats the deal - if you can go into these films with your Mystery Science Thater 3000 cap on then they can be worth wasting a couple hours on. Anyone trying to take them seriously in any way whatsoever need to find a new hobby and potentially just take their own life for the good of mankind.

I plan on renting both BDs and as usual I'll judge from there. Let's hope it's not the Battle: Los Angeles vs. The Battle of Los Angeles debacle. I watched 10 minutes of the later and cut it off.

Morsoth · 03-19-2012, 03:07 PM

Asylum Home Entertaiment makes great covers!!! I have one, Dragon Crusaders (never saw it) and the trailer looks nothing like the cover!!!

They are the Rip-off masters, and sometimes, I wonder if they have movies worth watching: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?studioid=279

zmarko · 03-19-2012, 05:07 PM

I'll watch both! lol.

Kevin Holly · 03-19-2012, 05:21 PM

This may well be one of those cases where the Asylum's film is the superior one. I'm stoked.

darry · 03-19-2012, 10:00 PM

I'm not sure of the logic of the slogan. Aren't big guns likely to be modern weapons? So, they're using older but bigger guns to fight the aliens?

Yeah, but look at this way, at least he'll now be able to get one hell of a stew brewing

If its got Carl Weathers its got to be better than that Battleship blockbuster flick.
