Lobster Man from Mars (1989) Reviews

Member Rating:

This farcical send-up of the movie business borrows a plot from the classic 1968 Mel Brooks film The Producers. It stars Tony Curtis as J.P. Sheldrake, a movie producer sorely in need of a flop for tax purposes. Imagine his delight when a very young would-be filmmaker shows up on his doorstep with what could be the worst B-movie ever made, Lobster Man From Mars. In the story-within-a-story, a Martian lobster-man who has come to earth to steal some badly needed air for his home planet grows increasingly addicted to munching on humans. He is pursued by an addlepated professor (Patrick Macnee) a couple of all-American teens, and a trigger-happy military man. The movie looks guaranteed to be a flop, but of course it foils Sheldrake's plan by becoming a huge success. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Very disappointed. It was like they were making an actual bad 50's sci-fi movie, not a spoof of one. Rent "The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra" for a good send-up. Funniest line: Movie producer screening a film, hears unintelligible dialoge and asks "Have you dubbed this in English?" There. Now you don't need to watch this stinker.
