Hamilton’s Invaders

Hamilton's Invaders

Hamilton’s Invaders were a toy series in the 1960s where blue army men fought giant bugs with movable parts. They were inspired by the 1950s giant insect movies, which by that point had begun their long foray into reruns on tv. In addition to the giant bugs, you could also get a Hamilton’s Invaders helmet and grenade gun to wear while you play, for total immersion or something.

The main giant bug was Horrible Hamilton – a large green bug with legs that moved when it rolled. There were additional bugs – Spooky Spider and Gruesome/Brutal Beetle – along with smaller nameless bugs. The blue army men (called Blue Defenders) were meant to represent the United Nations, because only the combined might of the world’s armies could defeat Horrible Hamilton and his bug crew!

Why are we talking about Hamilton’s Invaders? Because the helmet wore by the Golden Skeleton gang in Golden Skeleton is the Hamilton’s Invaders helmet with a gold skull glued on top of it! B-movie inspired, B-movie used.

2 Headed Shark Attack poster and stills!

2 Headed Shark Attack has moved closer to completion with a poster and some official stills. The gemi-shark is ready to chomp it’s way through dozens of teenage tasty treats. And hopefully Brooke Hogan, Charlie O’Connell, and Carmen Electra as well. Christopher Douglas-Olen Ray directs.

The plot:

When a Semester at Sea ship is sunk by a mutated two-headed shark, the survivors escape to a deserted atoll. But when it starts flooding, the coeds are no longer safe from the double jaws of the monster.

Gwangong vs Alien – 關公大戰外星人

Gwangong vs Alien – 關公大戰外星人 – is a short film that looks awesome and features a giant robot, an alien, and Guan Yu. Who you might remember fought aliens before. And now we got a 30 second trailer, and it looks ridiculous and awesome. Ridiculously awesome. It better be! Or heads will roll… Alien heads…

There is not much in English about G.V.A. yet (yes, that abbreviation is used by the director), but if you can read Chinese, here you go.

Now get images feasted upon your eyes!!!

2 Headed Shark Attack Gemi-Shark pic!

Asylum has released a photo of the two-headed shark (dubbed the Gemi-Shark) from their upcoming 2 Headed Shark Attack film on their Facebook page. Gaze into both faces of sea terror! Which head will be the evil head? Find out when the movie airs, I guess. I predict both heads will be evil.
