Ha ha, we have fireworks outside at the same time as our cheezy movie is having a big exploding battle scene.
Victoria Day in Canada never provided surround sound in the past.
Yes, that IS how we fought in the late '70s / early '80s.
fourth episode btw
i don't remember what was going on with this one
plus bits of a few other episodes
baiscally every ufo combat scene in the series just mashed together
Undersea cable was actually a fuse for the volcano
Her job on the sub is to just stand there, wearing that shirt.
All this wrestling in rubber makes me think of something else....
THEY EVEN RUN LIKE PLAYMOBILE FIGURES
#Monsterdon
do they not have passwords and security and shit?
"Sure, you sound like the Commander, I believe you, I'm not going to check"
Not sure why I voted for this after all....
Whoops! #Miru keeps disappearing. (And Tubi is on commercial 3 of 6. π)
That point in the 80s where we realised the bottom of the sea is dark and you can't see anything and the aesthetic for underwater adventure changed
If this guy gets any more beige he's gonna get a cease and desist from Safeguard Soap
That was Benedict Cumberbatch's mom, BTW!

@_L1vY_ I think purple wigs were only part of the uniform on the moon.
I wonder what Ultraman is doing right now.
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO
Yep. There it is. He's gone.
Looks like once again, the real monsters were the humans we met along the way.
Why is everything in this movie SO FUCKING WEIRD.
Even the surgical masks are weird.
#Monsterdon
#monsterdon "Fan out" is the sci-fi equivalent of "Let's split up!"
@klu9 She lost her wig! Oh no!
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO
Having a woman in this movie who's bob cut is the same as the moon women's hair style, but isn't purple is upsetting to me.
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO
landed in northern Canada? has anyone informed Prof. Lawler? #monsterdon
These interceptors with their big nose bombs seem pretty useless.
"Control to Interceptor Three: You're fucked mate"
Set course for the Sexy Moon
A dying race, huh. Relatable. π
"Red one two nine interceptor go for green with X T C one zero two sector ninerβ¦"
There's no plot, just long strings of jargon, codes and numbers.
Only one missile per Interceptor. Straker was shit at budgeting. #InvasionUFO #UFO #50ShadesofGrade #Monsterdon
BIG HOLE MESH LONG SLEEVE SHIRTS IN A SUBMARINE WHAT HAS FASHION DONE MY GOD NO
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO
Extremely long establishing shot to make absolutely sure you understand this is the moon and not just arizona at night in black and white.
#Monsterdon
Thank you for flying SHADOAIR, please remain seated until the rear projection comes to a complete stop. #Monsterdon
Some serious fashion statements on the Moon that I am here for
Luggage bondage, it's a filthy subculture. #Monsterdon
Now I kind of want to edit The Prisoner into a 97-minute movie
@Binder I do not regret being entertained by the CC descriptions of sound effects. After that ending, itβs about the only good thing they came out of this.
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO #InvasionUFO1980
@CactuarJoe i mean, it was a lot of nothing, but gawd we have watched some real stinkers this year, so...
πΈπ₯ That was Invasion: UFO! Huge thanks to @Taweret for hosting the invasion and extra [CLASSIFIED] thanks to the #Monsterdon crew for staying up late last night and helping me dye my hair purple.
...If anyone needs me I'll be at the discount mesh apparel emporium
Please tell me this is not the beginning. Oh thank goodness. Credits!
Thank you for hosting @Taweret. And thank you everyone else for making this somewhat palatable. Have a great week!
I thought the moonbase fighters only carried one missile, but in this battle scene we saw them fire nine million missiles.
"...they can never know the truth" huh
None of us know the truth
I don't think there *is* a truth
This is like the parody Star Trek TNG trailer "A Fistful of Explosions" that just clips together all the explosions in that show.
I have no idea if that volcano... Eruption? Explosion? Was plot-warranted and frankly I can survive without knowing. WHERE do I get fabric in that delicious plum colour?
That dome is a lot bigger on the inside.
Oh! The underwater wonders are going to be a DISCOTHEQUE. I can tell by the swirly rainbow lights.
@nev The opening held real promise, pacing-wise, but everything went downhill when the results of splicing together several TV episodes to make a "movie" made themselves felt
The aliens are us! It wasnβt a YOU-foe, it was an US-foe all along!
There's plot armour and there's being the head of the big organisation and venturing into the underwater alien tit-base alone but for one other man...
yeah, just breathe the alien air, it's fine...
@_L1vY_ I used https://archive.org/details/invasion-ufo
No commercials. #Monsterdon #InvasionUFO πΈπ½
The era of one-piece sleeveless romper uniforms came to the end once costume designers learned to ask, what if there's Taco Bell on the moon?
"Somebody is peeing down the front of our periscope lens, sir" #Monsterdon #InvasionUFO
Theyβve stolen the moon!
They're tapping our internet!
Fun fact: having a shirt that is made entirely of holes is a terrible idea for so many reasons. I mean human resources would like to have a word, for starters.
#monsterdon
So they cut out all the plot, right? That's why this doesn't make sense?
dang first time I tune into #monsterdon in a while and itβs sexy mesh shirt hour
MA THEYβRE IN THE FISHNETS AGAIN
GET OUTTA THE BATHROOM MA
MA YOUβRE MISSING IT
#Monsterdon
Oh fuck yeah this movie has a toy boat in it! Besides the submarine-jet, we get a normal cargo boat too.
I mean, I'm not all that surprised we have a toy boat, because this movie has all the other toys in already, but still boats are cool.
@moira LET IT RIP!
@crowbriarhexe Our slutty chainmail thong technology is woefully behind the times if we can't handle 5-axis radial symmetric body plans. What have cosplayers been doing all the time if not preparing for this day?
#monsterdon If only SHADO had educated the public about the dangers of UFOs instead of keeping them secret for no reason at all, this tragedy might have been averted.
RIP blue Spike from Buffy. He didn't take well to being injected with Earth drugs. The high was too much for his little alien body.
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO
Of course they're just going to kill him, aren't they
This feels like one of those 2 movies each 50% finished shooting and nobody willing to sink anpther penny into either so....why don't we just edit them together and release it? #monsterdon
What the men lack in wigs they make up for in great boots
This is just every forested planet in Stargate SG-1. #monsterdon

@crowbriarhexe It hadn't occurred to me until now that this whole movie may have been made by model rail enthusiasts
Aliens dressed in fetish gear....
@strangefour Only the moon women have earned the right to purple hair.
@strangefour Itβs the same woman heading up Moonbase but I guess for gravity reasons her hair doesnβt need to be purple on earth. #InvasionUFO #UFO #50ShadesofGrade #Monsterdon
The humans have got themselves an RV! #InvasionUFO #UFO #50ShadesofGrade #Monsterdon
ME?? You're saying *I* look tired?? -- was that look
@jsadow @Rozzychan I don't remember the purple hair ever being directly addressed, but it was pretty clear that it was just part of the moon base uniform. For the girls, at least.
Whose 6th grader do we have to thank for these lovely diorama backdrops?
#Monsterdon
FYI, Canada is a country to the north of Yusa
Sky 1 but not brought to you by Rupert Murdoch. #InvasionUFO #UFO #50ShadesofGrade #Monsterdon
I canβt WAIT to hear 80s era northern Canadians pronounce βUFOsβ.
#Monsterdon
What's the point of having interceptors that don't actually intercept?
#monsterdon The worst place possible! Canada!
None of this is science
Donβt blame the bandaid for this, it did its job. #Monsterdon
You can't tell this is a number of tv episodes stitched together, can you?
"That sounds more like a 'you-fo' than a 'me-fo.'"
Lots of implants? So now we're on to Starsky & Hutch meets Dr. Strangelove meets Space 1999 meets Thunderbirds, meets Six Million Dollar Man?
They're rolling together all the 1960s & 70s popular elements.
He looks like those people who take colloidal silver
pretty sure this is just a few episodes of the UFO TV show snipped together somehow, because I vaguely remember seeing all this before.
I foe,
you foe,
we all foe for Ufo
You just know the Lego kits for this would be exquisite
β¦maybe weβre watching themβ¦
#Monsterdon
A monsterdon aerial battle that isn't stock footage of a real war?
And Iβm spent. #InvasionUFO #UFO #50ShadesofGrade #Monsterdon
Please, give me more 1970s music that smells like cigarettes
Because we're doing a tour of all the cool miniatures we have, we then see the secret SHADO submarine, where the crew all wears fishnet shirts. Some of them are boys because the directors decided we needed another gender of eye candy.
Anyway, the submarine people haven't done anything yet, we were just establishing that it exists, I guess. Chekhov's submarine I guess.
ββ¦lemme just brush off this cocaine dust. Stuff gets everywhere.β
SEXY FUTURE!
"Any further questions?"
"Yes. Should we consult at least one non-white country?"
