LASERBLAST

[Clutch]

Anybody remember this gem of a movie? Total drive-in level movie trying to cash in on the success of Star Wars, but it left an impression on me. This is a resin recast (doh!) of the Billiken alien that sat on David Allen's desk. I also have a piece of the spaceship interior. High-tech, backlit graphics on paper. Hehe. Someday, I plan on rebuilding this console for a proper display.

You know, legend says that parts from an actual screenused tricorder prop from Star Trek were used on that laser rifle prop.. :confused

I remember wondering if the boot and glove color denoted the rank of those goofy shelless turltes.

 

[Tyler Durden]

That's one of my favorite b-movies. Loving it.

Pretty cool. I just watched Laserblast on DVD recently. It's a cult classic.

I was just thinking about this movie the other day. Was wondering if anyone had/made the Blaster itself?
Haven't seen it in so long, I remember a scene where he blasts a billboard with Star Wars on it. Or am I imagining that part.

One of my first sci-fi movie memories... I think I was 10 and thought it was DA BOMB. I distinctly remember wanting that blaster more than anything in the whole wide world.

Of course Star Wars came out the next year, and, well...

Definitely one of the first props I ever tried to build. The arm cannon as a child was one of the coolest things ever. Huge fan of the movie, thanks for letting me remember..

Just a little factoid: the actor above.. Kim Milford was also in "Corvette Summer" with Mark Hamill.

He also played Rocky on Stage in the Rocky Horror Picture Show

Ha. Very cool.

Laserblast is one of my all time favourtie b-movies, and by far my all time favourite MST experiment. So going to have to watch this again on the weekend.

Cheers.

And for those of you wondering who David Allen is, go here.

He "contributed stop-motion animation sequences to more feature films than anyone else in the history of the cinema."

 

[Skyler101]

Alright, I'll bite and ask..
Will a Billiken alien soon be avalible?

[uscm buzz]

I was wondering if the uh.. resin alien was going to become available myself..
