The first movie scheduled for Friday was last week's back-up movie Invaders From Mars. If you know how to read you may have noticed that it's no longer one of the movies. If you don't know how to read, well, I've never liked you. Invaders From Mars did set the theme for the night, however, while its reason for being dropped are long and complicated.
The director for The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension also adapted the screenplay for former BMN movie Big Trouble In Little China. Which isn't surprising because they have a similar tone.
It stars Peter Weller, John Lithgow, Ellen Barkin, Jeff Goldblum, Christopher Lloyd, Vincent Schiavelli, Dan Hedaya, Yakov Smirnoff and Lewis Smith. What do you mean, "Who's Lewis Smith"? He's the Heavenly Kid:
The Alien Factor is only our second Don Dohler movie after Nightbeast but it was his first. That link mentions the documentary about Dohler, Blood, Boobs & Beast. In it he admits that for his first movie he wasn't aware that boobs were an option so it's the only one without any.
When I paired up Invaders From Mars with The Alien Factor I got all excited. I forgot how enjoyably bad it was. So all of the sudden Invaders From Mars didn't look so great. I needed a Buckaroo Banzai-level movie to compete. Oh, did I say the reason was long and complicated? I meant short and boring.
Here's what happened last week:
