Octaman (1971) All he really wanted was his blue bucket.

Sadly, the suit is the best part.

I haven’t seen this since the first time I saw it, back in high school on a damaged old VHS copy I rented from some video store. And I haven’t bothered to hunt it down since. Considering my love of monster movies, this is really saying something. The fun of the monster is drowned under a flood of boring, chatty people scenes that don’t make any friggin’ sense.
Nice to see a new review from you! Don’t make us wait another month or two for your next one, if you can.

“he’s also accompanied by a sound effect that’s a little like someone imitating a heartbeat on a didgeridoo”
Well, crap. Now I have to see this movie.

You mean you haven’t!?
What *I* love is when these types of characters use the phrase “almost human intelligence”, and it’s supposed to be a compliment.

Ha, I’m sorta legal again! On the other hand, this ruins my planned lawsuit against the rest of the Cabal for discriminating against lazy morons who just don’t this whole ‘internets’ thing.

By the way, Will, I’m thoroughly ashamed to admit that I laughed myself sick for about ten minutes when I saw the BUKKET.

Nice job as always, Will. I think you might have put more thought into the review than was put into the entire movie.

Isn’t that the mantra of the whole Cabal, though?
