Robinson Crusoe on Mars (1964)
What a goofy movie. Yet, what fun! Byron Haskins, who also made The War of the Worlds, was obviously having the time of his life and had a budget and crew talented enough to take the Daniel Defoe’s classic novel and transport it to space. Commander Christopher “Kit” Draper, USN (Paul Mantee, The Manitou) and Colonel Dan […]

That movie is Robotrix! Under the name Chien-Ming Lu, this film’s director Jamie Luk appeared in Lady Exterminator, Crippled Avengers and many more films. This is the […]
