Crapest Movie Monster/Top Trumps

Crapest Movie Monster/Top Trumps

Just watching "The Angry Red Planet", a B movie made in 1960 about a trip to Mars. The crew are just battling this:






It's a sort of mouse/insect type combo. Can anyone else come up with a more rubbish monster? I mean how does it feed itself for starters? I'll make it into a Top Trump:

Physical Strength: 85 ( looks weedy, but takes a lot of punishment from a laser Rifle)

fear Factor: 3 ( not fear inducing.It's s mouse on insect legs, maybe if it was an insect on  mouse legs? )

Killing Power: 50  (It's actually not too shoddy in the killing department)

Horror Rating: 20 (Not sure the difference between fear factor and Horror rating tbh)


Here is a top trump monster deck link to give you some ideas. I'm after movie monsters only though.

Cloverfield (Monster from movie of same name)

Hey no worries thanks for taking par !

Always thought the traditional "Mummy" was a rubbish monster, you just unravvel them like Scooby Do would and they are a bunch of ashes

Mothra from the old Godzilla movies. Crap, crap, crap.

I have no idea what a top trump is, but those zombie things in I am Legend were uber-lame.

Top Trumps is a card game that was popular in the 70's. This is how it works, (taken from wiki),

"

Each pack of Top Trumps is based on a theme, such as cars, aircraft, dinosaurs or characters from a popular film or television series. Each card in the pack shows a list of numerical data about the item. For example, in a pack based on cars, each card shows a different model of car, and the stats and data may include its engine size, its weight, its length, and its top speed. For example, if the theme is about a TV series or film, the cards include all its characters and the data varying from things like strength and bravery to fashion and looks, depending on the criteria.

All the cards are dealt among the players. There must be at least two players, and at least one cards for each player. The starting player (normally the player sitting on the dealer's left) selects a category from his or her topmost card and reads out its value. Each other player then reads out the value of the same category from their cards. The best (usually the largest) value wins the "trick", and the winner takes all the cards of the trick and places them at the bottom of his or her pile. That player then looks at their new topmost card, and chooses the category for the next round.

In the event of a draw, the cards are placed in the centre and a new category is chosen from the next card by the same person as in the previous round. The winner of that round obtains all of the cards in the centre as well as the top card from each player.

Players are eliminated when they lose their last card, and the winner is the player who obtains the whole pack. Some variants of the rules allow 'three card pick', whereby a player who has only three cards remaining is allowed to choose any of their three cards to play with. Typically, this lengthens the game considerably."

If you can't be arsed to read that it was the FM of it's day, as it was very stat orientated, basically you and your opponent both had cards , you had a load of stats for say an army tank and you pitted it against your opponents card. He might have a cannon or something you would try and beat his stat with the best stat on your card. loser has to hand over his card.

It's popular again - or at least has been recently. It was all the rage when I was still working childcare (I stopped in 2007)

I bloody loved Mothra and if Wiki is to be believed she is almost as good as Godzilla.

"Mothra has become one of Godzilla's more challenging opponents, having achieved the greatest success rate in battle save Godzilla himself"

Pretty sexy no?



Here is a pic of Mothra, as a larva mind, not even fully grown giving Tokyo a good kicking:




Here is Mothra tw*ting Godzilla:

How'd they kill her? Giant candle?

No Mothball man apparently

Those Japanese are genius'!

Found this link for a decent laugh and nostalgia......Link 

I'm actually considering sending a letter to Messrs Donaldson and Scheffler to question copyright pertaining to the Gruffalo after having seen this, albeit albino, creation.

Me too...plus there were some big, compost heap looking things that terrified me..

But facts are facts- they were ropey, crappy things put together by under paid BBC props techs, and made from re-cycled Blue Peter sets.
