@Taweret He can button his lip too #monsterdon

"A dog of the house of Montague moves me!!!"

#Monsterdon

Is that Fizzy Bear driving? #Monsterdon

Unfortunately for Billy, he lived a number of years before anti-depressants #Monsterdon

Fun fact in the 1970s you instantly appeared to be in your 30s when puberty hit #Monsterdon

Eddie Deezen, on the other hand, became Hollywood's King of the Nerds.

#monsterdon

Hahahahah hahahahaha haahaahaaa #Monsterdon #laserblast

New “UnLeaded” gasoline. Oh joy.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast1978

#Monsterdon 👦 🔦 🚀 💥👽 🔦 🚀 💥👾 😱

Why does his panel van have big footprints on the sides?

Froggy seems cool #monsterdon

#Monsterdon he's gonna drag-race the van?

Whoever these guys in the blue convertible are, I hope we get their theme song frequently

#Monsterdon

Mandark! Back again. #Monsterdon #Laserblast

He's also bored with this race.

#monsterdon

Wow, the first blast addict fired 3 point blank shots at the aliens and missed! #LaserBlast weapon was obviously sent from the Imperial Storm Trooper Training Academy. 😖

#Monsterdon

Those two are jumping up and down in that buick like chimpanzees

#monsterdon

oh, these jerks. the high school bullies 100% deserve to get blown up. #monsterdon

Hi, Melvin!

#Monsterdon

EDDIE DEEZEN!? Don't you need to be on the set of Wargames?

#monsterdon

It's a Buick!
#monsterdon

#monsterdon Oh no, the footmobile has broken down!

This, I think, is the High Desert in California, the sort of place where Frank Zappa spent his formative years, which explains a lot.

God damn it I'd managed to forget in the last 15 minutes that Eddie Deezen was in this.

#monsterdon #laserblast

Make sure to set the proper stance and do a hair flip before drinking your Coke, otherwise it doesn't count

#Monsterdon

Bobo Luke Skywalker put on a shirt but still hasn't learned how to use buttons...
#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Cops. Amirite?

#Monsterdon #Laserblast1978

Forgot Billy's... girlfriend? Ex-girlfriend? Whose name I've already forgotten but I doubt it's terribly important.

#monsterdon

I hope we get wacky laserblastin' music. Pew. Boing. Honk. 🎺 #monsterdon

MISTAH POTATA HEAD!

#monsterdon #laserblast

I'm starting to think they don't actually need any gas...
#Monsterdon

This was apparently before California made all their cops take 5 mg Bastardol HCl at the start of every shift. #monsterdon #laserblast

@Taweret Which is ironic, since the vending machine was welded.

#monsterdon

His life is so full of angst, what he needs is lasers

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

15 minutes in, and what have we got?

Nothing. not a damn thing.

No--wait--I remember that kind of Coke machine!

#monsterdon

One day the funny part will stop.

#Monsterdon

A film so dull a car rolls over lackadaisically and does *not* explode.

#monsterdon

#Monsterdon i wonder what the laser's up to

DEEZER ALERT #monsterdon

#monsterdon

I am on the L reading these comments and I feel like I'm missing a genuinely good bad movie.

What was the offense? It wasn’t specified. I assume it was speeding, but nobody said anything.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast1978

Billy is totally board. With his mom, with his girlfriend's grandpa, with this speeding ticket, with his hair.

This does not bode well.

#monsterdon

I think I saw a sign announcing the exciting innovation of unleaded gasoline. #Monsterdon

GRATUITOUS VIOLENCE! #Monsterdon #LaserBlast

@moira

LOL! Fair!

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby

Especially in this film....

#monsterdon

Ok, real talk, I'm not going to Arco again, not after they tried charging me a processing fee on a debit card transaction.

#Monsterdon

Everyone driving 20mph but manage to flip a car! #Monsterdon

How do you accidentally just flip a car over like that?

It didn't even explode!

#Monsterdon

did bigfoot smear his van in butter? is that why it's those colors? #monsterdon

Casually causing a car crash

Where was the Yakety Sax-esque music for that?

#Monsterdon

Yes, this is just what I was looking for in a movie called LASERBLAST, stoned cops writing tickets, yes

#Monsterdon

Come on y'all, what's with all the shitty driving in this movie? Do y'all not know to press your brakes?

#Monsterdon

That might have been the slowest rollover I've ever seen (that wasn't say rocking on the edge of a cliff).

#Monsterdon

@OldRustBucket That was creepy. I can't believe they are portraying these cops as corrupt, it is so unfair.

#Monsterdon

Oh ho ho. Comedy cops. Can't be a 70s movie without an annoying local sheriff or equivalent.
#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Dig the bigfoot(?) tracks on the van
#monsterdon

Oh, and I guess that counts as smoking :)

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Sorry kid, you're getting a ticket! #monsterdon

"BTW, how's your momma these days?" So gross.

That was totally a Police Squad scene.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

Womp womp. #Monsterdon #Laserblast

OK, so far we have Billy The Shirtless Wonder, his momma who immediately fucks off to Apaculpo, a man people call by his rank and who wears a uniform tunic out of uniform, and some hotboxing sheriffs. Not bad.

#monsterdon

#monsterdon does the Colonel's granddaughter shop at Grandmas R Us for her nightgowns?

Honky tonk music for stoned cops committing reckless driving! Boing!

#Monsterdon

Benny Hill Street Blues #Monsterdon

So, why does Billy have bathroom feet on the side of his van?

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

YOU TAKE MY MOMMA OUTTA YOUR DIRTY MO uh

#monsterdon #laserblast

*shrug*

#Monsterdon #Laserblast1978

Jaunty music for stoned cops. I TOTES feel safer now!

#AllCopsAreStoned #Monsterdon

Oh my gosh, was it the circus police tune?
#monsterdon

Oops. They hit the camera off plumb #Monsterdon #Laserblast

Oh, that's some good hijinks music, right there. Very jaunty. #monsterdon #laserblast

Can we put the toy piano away for the rest of the film? #monsterdon

@davesdogmaggie I won't ask what those expectations were

#Monsterdon

swimmin in those pants, smokey. #monsterdon

#monsterdon so, dude who doesn't know how shirts work has no dad and an absentee mom who spends all her time in Acapulco.

I'm sure that information will pay off in some way later in the movie.

What the hell is with this weird piano score

#Monsterdon

Tex Montana Will Survive!

#Monsterdon

I can cop real good. #monsterdon

#monsterdon "Aw gimme a puff" Don't Bogart that thing, give us all a puff c'mon we're watching Laserblast!

@CactuarJoe where?

#monsterdon #laserblast

The ragtime piano for this chase is A CHOICE.

#monsterdon #laserblast

Look at them stoner bastards :blobrollingeyes: #Monsterdon

Colonel is busy at the piano, sounds like.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

The sheriffs in this film are here for comic relief, apparently.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast

🎵Polka Music TIme!! #Monsterdon

How you like that cop’s shrug? 🤷‍♂️ #Monsterdon

ugh

the funny part :/

#Monsterdon

If they even say "meow" while pulling this guy over... #monsterdon #laserblast

This one cop looks like he's about to ascend #monsterdon

#Monsterdon 👦 🔦 🚀 💥👽 🔦 🚀 💥👾 😱

We should add 'tires squeal on dirt' to all Monsterdon Bingo Cards

@Cherizilla

They were going for zany fun with the tuba music. I hate zany fun #monsterdon

ENGAGE THE RAGTIME PIANO

#Monsterdon

Keystone cop music.

#monsterdon

When the honky tonk piano comes on, you know we're in for a good ol' laugh! HO ho ho.

#monsterdon

Cops, dude.

#Monsterdon #Laserblast1978

(silly music)
indeed.
#monsterdon

"C'mon flash! We're in hot pursuit! Yee haw!"

#monsterdon

It's the kind of car chase you would make if you had nothing better to do!

#monsterdon #laserblast
