Alright, it's time now to introduce our next movie starring the biggest, bestest, most fantastic giant lizard kaiju monster movie ever!
No, not him.
No not him either.
Who the heck is that?
He's not even a lizard, you're not even trying to stick with the spirit of this any more, are you?
Now that's just mean... Anyways. This is Yongary! Korea's answer to all of the above, (save for Mr. Borgnine, he speaks for him self). In this prototypical giant monster movie, Yongary, a legendary (or so they say) creature is awakened when nuclear tests blah, blah... Destroys city... Little kid befriends him.... Dances like he's on "Laugh-In" etc, etc...
So here it is, the feature length version of the Public Domain Basement's version of "Yongary - Monster From the Deep," followed by links to our previous movies, "Laser MIssion" and "Warriors of the Wasteland."
"Laser Mission" 1990 Spy movie w/Brandon Lee and Ernest Borgnine.
"Warriors of the Wasteland" 1982 post apocalyptic movie w/Fred "the Hammer" Williamson & George Eastman

Youtube Clips
Alright, now it's time for those of you who like watching these in 10 minute increments cause you don't have the time or attention span to watch the feature...
But first. A quick discussion.
Who would win in a fight? Fred, "the Hammer" Williamson (star of today's feature) or blaxploitation/kung-fu star Jim Kelly?
Okay, so lets match them up first.
Builds: The Hammer's got one inch (in height pervos) on Mr. Kelly, so you'd think that would give him an advantage. But I saw Kareem Abdul Jabar fight, and his height just made him look like Dhalsim, advantage Kelly.
Collective Numbers in "Three the Hard Way": Two way tie, which goes to the runner, Jim Brown.
Toughest Opponent: In "Black Belt Jones" Jim Kelly goes against like, 600 guys on a train and beats them all. Meanwhile, "the Hammer" did a season of Monday Night Football. Howard Cosell > 600 Guys. Advantage, Hammer.
Silliest Title in Filmography: Hammer's "Poultyguist: Night of the Chicken Dead" vs Black Belt's "Mr. No Legs." Advantage: the American public.
Interceptions: Hammer had a career 36. Jim Kelly once snagged a ham sandwich from Joe Don Baker on the set of "Golden Needles." Advantage, Hammer.
Your winner: "The Hammer"
Now onto the clips, first (logically) are clips one and two. Both of which are, sadly, Fredless.

Warriors of the Wasteland
Here it is, our next Public Domain Basement work, "Warriors of the Wasteland" starring Fred "the Hammer" Williamson, bad dubbing, lots of slow car chases, an annoying kid, exploding heads and... Male buggery. Yeah, those squeamish sorts might want to cut out on that scene.
Anywho... Here goes.
Anywho... Here goes.

The thrilling conclusion....
And now... The thrilling conclusion of "Laser Mission".
Oh yes and, btw, if you happen to be anywhere near 900 Dragon Lane, please let us out. Aunt Ethel really needs to take out the trash and the smell is starting to leak down into our already crowded and smelly living space.
Seriously. What can that old woman eat?

Uh...
Okay. So yeah. Parts 7, 8 and 9 of "Laser Mission," for those of you not willing to watch the whole thing on Google video and instead watching the ten minute or so clips on YouTube, are... Well. Not working. I could upload them right now, but well, unless you're a big, big fan of bad sound sync, I think you're out of luck.
Sigh.
Well, given that, I will instead give you a preview of the next great movie in Uncle Harold's collection... But I'll keep the title secret for now. Here's a hint.
Oh, and hey, if you're anywhere near 78998 Nadir St, please please let us out. It's quite smelly down here.

Parts 5 and 6 of "Laser Mission"
For those of you new to this, these are parts 5 and 6 of "Laser Mission" the fantastic public domain spy thriller we, the two basement dwellers (literally) that run this blog decided to share with you, the internet viewing public.
Unfortuantly, due to a technical glitch with my late Uncle Harold's 486 we use, you can hear us talking over it, but I hope it's not too much of a distraction. Think of it as a director's commentary track on a DVD. Only you know, without any real insight, context, or usefulness.
Sorry about that. Anywho, here goes. Part 5, logically, first.
Now part six.

Parts 3 and 4 of "Laser Mission"
Here below are parts 3 and 4 of "Laser Mission" the 1990 Brandon Lee spy thriller we, the two basement dwellers, just fell in love with. The movie's just darling.
But there is one.... Confusing aspect to the whole thing. Where exactly the movie takes place. See, right when our hero, Michael Gold, arrives in this strange amalgam of a country, he is met with three rather conflicting things. First of all, there's a guy with a vague European accent behind the counter, and a guy with an African accent.
Okay, you may be thinking to yourself. It must be South Africa, with its odd mix of Europeans and Africans. But no! Mr. Gold throws us a curve! He asks for Cuban Cigars. A strange thing to ask in an Eastern European infested African country...and this is not commented on as such by the menagery of accents behind the counter. And later, he pretends to be Cuban and meets a group of incompetent Cuban soldiers. Making the mystery even deeper.
All of which leaves me with only one conclusion. The only place centrally located between Cuba, Africa and Europe. It can only be that the entire Laser Mission film takes place on ATLANTIS!
Ahem. Anywho, part 4 of "Laser Mission"
And now, part 5, midway through the fun.
