Pretty sure I have not seen tonight's #Monsterdon, Invasion: UFO, before.

https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/210198

I feel I would have remembered this soundtrack for sure. Some weird last gasp of the '60's?

Straker a.k.a. Captain Blue

💸 Low Budget Film School

Why even shoot a film? Stitch together scenes from a bunch of TV Series episodes to make your movie!

That's what they did to make Invasion: UFO. The TV series was UFO (1970).

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

This soundtrack is excessively 60s spy thriller

#Monsterdon

I am getting an Airplane! vibe here. #monsterdon

"So, that bracelet is very stylish. Where did you get it? The PX?"

#Monsterdon

I would not want to be handcuffed to E. Straker's remains

#monsterdon

Very British, from the airplane to the Rolls.
#monsterdon

FOOTBALL!

#Monsterdon

I'ma lock my luggage to my wrist from now on, too.

#monsterdon

This movie brought to you by DRUMS #monsterdon

@amyfou Me too though I like the self-concious camera POVs. Kind of intense and violent for the first two minutes.

#monsterdon

*looks at other dude on plane* yeah we're in this movie I guess. it's a paycheck.

#monsterdon

well, I don't know what's happening, but at least it isn't dragging

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon why are advanced aliens using machine guns? My wife, "they just jump into the action." Yes, they do.

#Monsterdon #InvasionUfo that's not a ufo that's an airplane

About eight things have happened so far and I don't know what any of them have to do with each other

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

@moira Based On This This We Assume Everyone Will Always Know About So We Needn't Bother To Really Name It (tm)

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

straker... straker... straker... STRAKER! #Monsterdon #invasionUFO

Is this a first person shooter and we're the bad guys?

#monsterdon

They look annoyed that they have to wear the stupid briefcase. #monsterdon #InvasionUFO

general: menacing glare at other general

general #2: "little does he knowthe potato salad recipe RIGHT HERE has been copied and the microfilm is in my left upper molar!"

#monsterdon

Probably good to write down the name of the movie before #Monsterdon starts huh

#Monsterdon opens with some cool frenetic Machine Gun Jazz

'tis just a flesh wound!

#monsterdon

OH FUCK IT'S AN AIRPLANE AAAAAA

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Wow this is DARK. Dark for night via spilling ink all over the screen.
Is that gun from the files of Police Squad?
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Already ticking that Day for Night box.

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

So is this the rendelsham forest incident?

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

damn, Jean didn't last long. didn't even get time to say a line.

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Are they peeping? Was that murder? Did no one pay for lighting? #Monsterdon

here come the legally distinct men in black

#monsterdon

@moira

A machine gun? OK, cool futuristic muzzle brake...

#Monsterdon
#InvasionUFO

Produced by Reg(ular) Hill.

I am already confused

Hey look it's a first person shooter! #monsterdon #InvasionUFO

#monsterdon

@yatsu "Format" as in scenario as in worldbuilding as in the UFO TV series.

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Yeah... groovy jazz music... dig?

#monsterdon

I just love the bass line in this opening credits and the rocket booster main title
#Monsterdon
#invasionufo

It's time for #Monsterdon again! :ameowbongo: :ablobcatrave:

Follow the hashtag and help us identify the flying object that invaded our futuristic past!

Or filter it if you'd rather welcome our alien overlords.

Well, that was a surprisingly violent start. #monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Oh god the quality. The compression. I should have grabbed a better copy of this.

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon Three directors. You know that's super-high-quality right off the bat!

And so it begins! The font for the credits is magnificent! Thank you Bob Bell for the (hopefully) continuing cool art direction

A big Mod Welcome to new Monsterdon participants and lurkers! Let us know if you are new to Monsterdon.

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

That woman was not entertained #monsterdon

Oh nice! Tonight's #monsterdon feature is an Anderson project. Should have a good Space 1999 feel to it.

"Thrilling music continues" subtitle.

I'LL be the judge of that.

I will be typing with nacho'd fingers tonight.

Protip: assemble the nachos in a pie plate

#Monsterdon

"based on the original format"

like, the first format ever? the original one?
like, cave wall paintings???

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Are these credits by a knock-off Emerson Lake & Palmer?

Love the graphics.
#monsterdon

it’s got 3 directors so you know it’s good #Monsterdon

Bob Bell of Bell Bobbem Jeans fame. #Monsterdon

was going to skip #monsterdon tonight, but this disco intro has got me in

Using Future Shock font #Monsterdon

I think this song was used in some Brazilian ad for something technological in the 70s/80s. It sounds like Rick Wakeman! #monsterdon #InvasionUFO

#monsterdon So this is the far-flung future of 1980?

@Binder i got a Space:1999 feel from the glimpses of sets & costumes

#monsterdon

Even the title sequence can't want to get the hell away from this film.

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

This movie is about…

SPAAAAAACCCCEEEEEEE

It's okay, everyone can relax, I'm here.

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO1980

Here's Monkman with his Synclavier in 1983. I don't think he had this for the 1981 theme.

#monsterdon

Gerry & Sylvia Anderson Hm.

I'm getting video game vibes from the credits.

[thrilling sci-fi music]
[letters whirring]
#monsterdon

Oh. They changed the opening theme to something bad and American.
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

You could fool me into thinking this was the intro to another space Hercules movie

#monsterdon

Prediction: wacky, sexy outfits on all the crew. #monsterdon

OMG what are we about to watch

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

They've got the airport clicky clacky letters, but don't use the airport clicky clacky machine displaying credits... :(

#Monsterdon

roll film for #monsterdon

this is Invasion: UFO

I'm digging the decipher-y text effect in the credits

Just remember team, they had the original theme I pasted in earlier and went with _this_ noise instead for this clipped-together "film."

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

#monsterdon I wouldn't say "thrilling" exactly.

That's some good credits font there.

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Hey I know this song? #monsterdon #InvasionUFO

I was just attacked by a movie logo
