Fifty Years of Shit Robots
38. INVASION OF THE NEPTUNE MEN
Season 5, Ep. 5
•
Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Every week we rate the robot, if it gets a score of 7 out of 10 then we say that it is not a shit robot. Today, we look at the strange 1961 Japanese movie, INVASION OF THE NEPTUNE MEN. One of the worst films ever made? Almost certainly. We watch it so you don't have to.
WARNING! The S**t-bomb is sometimes uttered but nothing more.
