But it reminds me of a lot of what passed for sci-fi movies when I was a kid. Those were the days.

I think the last time I saw it was when I was a teen and it came on a Saturday afternoon (when the local station aired all the old B-movies.) I'll have to see if it's available online somewhere, or see if Netflix has it. I remember the premise wasn't too bad, but I'm sure the acting was

Look for the movie "The Monolith Monsters" for another interesting premise and bad acting

This site has some great "bad" movies and old TV-shows for torrent download. Although I see they also offer $1 direct-download of titles with a five-download minimum. Might be worth the price for some of them

edit: kind of helps to give the link mentioned...

Although I'd like to watch Kronos for free, too
I'll see if it's on Netflix

Here's one I was just talking about with some friends last night: The Lost Missile



The plot is this "missile" is an alien craft with a nuclear drive (rocket) and it's leaking as well as out of control. It's also flying at 4000 mph, and low-altitude, the leaking radiation destroying everything under it and in its wake. There are links to the full movie with the trailer above. I've never seen it, but it appears to have also been a precursor to something the USAF and Atomic Energy Commission wanted to build, named Project Pluto. I'm very happy that project got canceled

I thought it was the best sci-fi movie ever made back then but I haven't seen it lately. I appreciated the filmmakers' commitment to a simple concept -- a giant robot that sucks energy, so even our vaunted atomic weapons only make it stronger!

Now I can't remember what kung-fu parody that was from...

And there's another one my friends were mentioning last night. I think my week is now set for B-movies

The Claw was one of the KAOS operatives Max and 99 came up against.
